==Description==
The '''''Götterdämmerung''''' is a heavy [[BattleMech]] first fielded by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] in [[3138]], the 'Mech's [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/G%C3%B6tterd%C3%A4mmerung German name] translates to "Twilight of the Gods," synonymous with ''Ragnarök'' of Norse mythology. Designed by Blackstone BattleMechs of [[Inarcs]], the company had intended the ''Götterdämmerung'' as a replacement for the ancient ''[[Thunderbolt]]''.

The '''''Götterdämmerung''''' is a Heavy class [[BattleMech]] first fielded by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] in [[3138]], the 'Mech's [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/G%C3%B6tterd%C3%A4mmerung German name] translates to "twilight of the gods" or "ragnarök". Designed by Blackstone BattleMechs of [[Inarcs]], the company had intended the ''Götterdämmerung'' as a replacement for the ancient ''[[Thunderbolt]]''.   
  
Shortly after entering service, the ''Götterdämmerung'' would gain a mixed reputation for being a highly durable BattleMech, but a difficult design to escape from should it be downed. The 'Mech saw service in many of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]]' frontline [[regiment]]s as well as number of [[mercenary]] commands.<ref name=TRO:3145LCp41/>

==Armament and Capacities==
The ''Götterdämmerung'''s durability is due in part of layers of StarSlab/4 Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor, while Blackstone would move the cockpit of the 'Mech to the [[Torso-Mounted Cockpit|torso]]. The Torso-Mounted Cockpit's ejection system is highly complex, making escape from the ''Götterdämmerung'' difficult under certain circumstances. [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] piloting the 'Mech need also be wary of losing their side torsos, due to the split placement of their life support systems.

The Torso-Mounted Cockpit's ejection system is highly complex, making escape in well protected controls of the ''Götterdämmerung'' difficult. [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] piloting the 'Mech need also be weary of losing their side torsos, due to the split placement of their life support systems.  
  
The 'Mech's [[Compact Gyro]] and the Edasich 300-rated [[compact fusion engine]] contributes to its survivability while giving it same mobility as its ancient predecessor.

Its long-range arsenal consists of a right arm mounted [[Defiance 1001]] Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon. Backing the ER PPC is a [[Coventry StarFire]] 15-tubed LRM Launcher which is found where the cockpit is traditionally located, in the head. Along with the launcher, the ammunition has been placed in head as well. The remainder of the 'Mech's firepower is placed in the center torso, making it difficult for an enemy to knock out all five [[Defiance Model XII]] Extended Range Medium Lasers.<ref name=TRO:3145LCp41/>
