Description
One of Anastasius Focht’s last actions before retiring as Precentor Martial of ComStar, the Huscarl is the first Inner Sphere OmniFighter to see service with the Com Guards and the Free Rasalhague Republic's KungsArmé.[1]
Originally intended to be used by ComStar and the modern SLDF, the budgetary constraints forced the SLDF to withdraw, with Prince Regent Christian Mansdottir volunteering the FRR's support, as a continuation of the previous partnership that started with the Beowulf BattleMech. All production runs were originally intended be shared 50/50, but the KungsArmé field the lion share after Precentor Martial Pro-Tem Gavin Dow halted deployment to the Com Guards until the conclusion of the FedCom Civil War.[1]
Mounting fifteen tons of Orestes Cold Forge armor and an XL Engine, the Huscarl is a ponderous but well armed and armored design. Though some have likened the aircraft to a flying whale, others love its massive forty-three tons of available pod space, particularly when facing DropShips and WarShips. The heavy hitting ammunition dependent nature of configurations somewhat sidesteps the mere fourteen Double Heat Sinks carried on its base chassis.[1]
Armament
The primary configuration mounts a LRM-10 in the nose supported by wing-mounted ER Large Laser and LB 10-X AC on each side. Four tons of autocannon reloads allows the fighter to carry both standard and cluster munitions, but this variant lacks aft weaponry.[1]
Alternate Configurations
- Alt Config A - A mixed and balanced weapon loadout, the A configuration mounts a Gauss Rifle and SRM-4 in the nose, supported by an ER PPC and twin Medium Pulse Lasers fitted in each wing. Two tons of gauss reloads and one of short range missiles keep the nose weaponry in operation, while a single additional double heat sink strains to keep the heat from the wing mounted weapons in check. BV (1.0) = 1,723[1]
- Alt Config B - The B configuration features a mixture of autocannons and missiles, mounting two SRM-6 launchers and Autocannon/5 in the nose, supported by a single Artemis IV FCS enhanced LRM-20 in each wing. Lacking any back-up energy weaponry, this variant is forced to withdraw once its one ton of autocannon rounds, two tons of SRM reloads and four tons of long range missiles are expended. BV (1.0) = 1,582[1]
- Alt Config C - An DropShip/WarShip hunter, the C variant is built around the two mammoth Ultra AC/20s it carries, one mounted in each wing. While it carries back-up in the form of two Medium Pulse Lasers, the fighter generally withdraws once it burns through its eight tons of autocannon reloads. BV (1.0) = 1,543[1]
