The '''Medium Mass Driver''' is the midrange [[Mass Driver]] developed by the [[Word of Blake]]. It fires a slug the size of a [[:Category:60_ton_BattleMechs|60 ton 'Mech]] at its target. Due to the sheer size of the weapon, it can only be mounted in a [[WarShip]] or [[Space Station]] that masses at least 1,500,000 tons. This means only  [[WarShip#WarShip_Categories|Battleships]] and [[Space Stations]] could mount the Medium Mass Driver. In addition, only one Mass Driver could be mounted on a WarShip.
