Description
The Ebony is a light BattleMech produced jointly by the Magistracy of Canopus and the Capellan Confederation. This stealthy BattleMech first appeared in 3081, and was reportedly being built in factories on Canopus IV and Sian. The 'Mech is allegedly named for the Magistracy's secret intelligence branch, the Ebon Magistrate.[1]
The design employs five-and-a-half tons of Stealth Armor and a Guardian ECM to allow it to move into position to attack its target. A MechWarrior would need to disengage some of its ten Double Heat Sinks in order to quickly activate the 'Mech's Triple Strength Myomer. With the TSM engaged, the Ebony is able to reach speeds up to 170 km/h.[1]
When it made its first appearance, the design's origins, including as far back to where it was built, was a mystery to intelligence agencies. Large concentrations of the design were found among Capellan forces on the border of the still forming Republic of the Sphere.[1]
Weapons and Equipment
The Ebony's only offensive weapon is its right arm-mounted Ceres Arms Thrasher Snub-Nose PPC.[1]
Variants
- MEB-11
- The -11 is a second variant produced for the Ebony, which initially was not popular with its pilots. The MEB-11 swaps out the Snub-Nose PPC for a Plasma Rifle with a single ton of ammunition. In order to make room for the rifle's ammunition, the 'Mech's cockpit was downsized to a Small Cockpit.[1] BV(2.0)= 1,135[6][7]
- MEB-13
- The removal of the ECM suite and use of a downgraded 225 XL engine frees up enough weight to replace the Snub-Nose PPC with a captured Large Re-engineered Laser. This variant introduced in Introduction Year:3137[11] also mounts six tons of Heat-Dissipating Armor to deal with hostile plasma and inferno weapons.[9] BV(2.0)= 700[12], 750[11]
