− | The ''Excalibur'' is designed to engage an enemy at long-range and use its mobility to dictate the ranges that the an enemy is engaged at. The 'Mech first saw service in [[2520]] and has become a commonly seen unit in both the [[ComGuards]] and the [[Word of Blake Militia]]. The 'Mech has an impressive top speed of 86.4 km/h which is made possible through the use of a Ford 350 [[XL engine]]. The ''Excalibur'' carries a relatively light seven and a half tons of armor with [[CASE]] in both side torsos to protect against an ammunition explosion. With its mission of long-range combat the ''Excalibur'' doesn't need a very large amount of armor protection. The ''Excalibur'' dissipates its waste heat through the use of eleven [[heat sink]]s. For added protection against missile attacks the ''Excalibur'' has a McArthur [[Anti-Missile System]].

| |
− | As its primary weapon the ''Excalibur'' carries a powerful Grizzard Model 200 [[Gauss Rifle]] that has an efective range of up to six hundred and sixty meters. This is backed up by an Ingrid Systems [[LRM-20]] with an [[Artemis IV]] fire control computer for increased missile accuracy.
