Description
The Hercules was built in response to a request by the Free Worlds League for a 'Mech that has balanced mobility and firepower. The Hercules is powered by a Magna 350 XL Engine that propels the 'Mech up to speeds of 86.4 kph. The Hercules is also well armored, with eleven tons of Aldis Heavy Ferro-Fibrous for protection. Overall, the Hercules has turned out to be a good all around trooper 'Mech and can handle a variety of combat roles from air defense to long range direct fire support.
Armament
The Hercules carries a wide variety of weapons. For long-range firepower, the 'Mech is armed with a Fusigon Model XI ER PPC. The ER PPC is backed up at intermediate ranges by a Imperator Code Red LB-X Autocannon/10 that can fire both standard and cluster rounds making it effective against a wide range of combat units. For close range combat, the Hercules carries a Holly Streak SRM-2 launcher, an Aberdovey Medium Pulse Laser, and two Martell Small Pulse Lasers. For added protection from missile attacks, the 'Mech also carries a Burow Anti-Missile System.
Variants
- HRC-LS-9001 - A basic field modification of the Hercules, the 9001 model removes the Anti-Missile System to add a second Streak SRM-2 launcher. BV (1.0) = 1,347, BV (2.0) = 1,566[3]
