Description
The Initiate started production after the Word of Blake retook Terra. The 'Mech has been produced in record numbers by the Word of Blake with no shortage of pilots. The 'Mech is built on a Geometric 1000 Endo Steel chassis to save weight and is powered by a LTV 160 fusion engine that gives it a top speed of 64.8 km/h. For protection from enemy fire, the Initiate carries eight and a half tons of armor that allows the 'Mech to stand up to fire from most other 'Mechs of the same weight class or lower and enjoys increased durability because of its CASE system that protects against ammunition explosions. Overall, the Initiate is a reliable trooper 'Mech that is capable of filling a variety of roles on the modern battlefield.
