Description

The Nightsky is a 'Mech that was built as a followup of the Hatchetman and Axman 'Mechs. The Nightsky is built around a massive Vlar 300 XL Engine that propels the Nightsky up to speeds of 97.2 kph. The Nightsky is a 'Mech that is intended for close range combat. With a superb ground speed and added maneuverability provided by six HildCo Model 13 jump jets that allow the Nightsky to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters the Nightsky is a very capable heavy recon 'Mech. The 'Mech is also protected with nine and a half tons of armor which provide the Nightsky with good armor protection.

Armament

The Nightsky is built with a powerful close range arsenal. The centerpiece of this is a massive four ton Hatchet that the Nightsky has built into its right arm which allows the 'Mech to cut through another 'Mechs armor. The Nightsky is also armed with a Sutel Precision Line Large Pulse Laser for medium to long range firepower and two Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Lasers and a Sutel Precision Line Small Pulse Laser for close range support.

Variants

  • NGS-4T - The 4T is a variant of the Nightsky that looks to make the 'Mech more powerful in both long and close range combat. This is done by removing the Large Pulse Laser. This has been replaced with an ER Large Laser and a Anti-Missile System for added defense against enemy missiles. The 'Mech also adds an additional Small Laser for added close range firepower. BV (1.0) = 1,107
  • NGS-5S - A simple upgrade of the Nightsky the 5S looks to make the 'Mech more heat efficient. This is achieved by removing the 'Mechs jump jets and replacing them with three additional double heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 904
  • NGS-5T - The 5T is a modification of the 4S that removes the Large Pulse Laser with a ER PPC. The 'Mech is otherwise identical tot he 4S model. This modification of the 'Mech makes the Nightsky capable of targeting an enemy 'Mech at extreme ranges and wearing them down until the 'Mech can bring its Hatchet to bear on its target. BV (1.0) = 1,175
  • NGS-6S - A modification of the Nightsky intended to make the 'Mech more durable and giving it a longer life on the battlefield the 'Mech replaces the 300 XL Engine with a 300 Light Fusion Engine. The 'Mech also removes all of its ranged weaponry and replaces it with seven ER Medium Lasers. When combined with the Nightskys hatchet the 'Mech is a monster against Battle Armor and in an urban environment. BV (1.0) = 1252
