Description

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 sinks. For added protection against missile attacks the Excalibur has a McArthur Anti-Missile System.

Armament

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.

Variants

• EXC-C1 - The C1 configuration of the Excalibur increases its defensive combat capabilities. This is done by removing the Anti-Missile System from the 'Mech as well as removing one of the 'Mechs double heat sinks and addign an additional Medium Laser and aslo increasing the 'Mechs armor protection to nine tons.
