Line 1: − ==History==+ #REDIRECT[[Terry Ford]] − '''''Number Seven''''' (ID number: CGR1A0ALSX9) was a modified CGR-1A1 ''[[Charger]]'' piloted by [[Terry Ford]]. Its [[small laser]]s were replaced with two [[medium laser]]s, but the 'Mech never operated at optimal efficiency largely due to Ford's extremely limited technical skills and the damage to its [[actuator]]s and other systems it accumulated over time.<ref name=TRO3025-106>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 106, "CGR-1A1 Charger - Notable 'Mechs and MechWarriors - MechWarrior Terry Ford"</ref> <ref name=TRO3039-156>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 152 "CGR-1A1 Charger - Notable MechWarrior - MechWarrior Terry Ford"</ref> <ref name=SSaD-43>''Starterbook: Sword and Dragon'', p. 43, "Andrew Martin - MechWarrior Profile - 'Mech History"</ref> − − Ford's luck finally ran out when the [[Illician Lancers]] were deployed in the [[Terran Corridor]] for a short time following the [[Fourth Succession War]], coming under attack from [[Sorenson's Sabres]] in a retaliatory strike. Leaping from an embankment intent on performing a "[[Highlander Burial]]" on a Sorenson's Sabres ''[[Longbow]]'', Ford was killed instantly when the 'Mech's [[gyro]] overreacted and caused it to crash face first into ground with tremendous force.<ref name=TRO3039-156/> <ref name=SSaD-43/> − − ''Number Seven'' was claimed by the Sabres. The near crippled 'Mech was sent to [[Galedon V]] for an extensive refit, subsequently rebuilt from the ground up to the slower but more heavily armed CGR-1A9 variant. Assigned to ''[[Busosenshi]]'' [[Andrew Martin]], despite the work performed on Ford's former 'Mech, ''Number Seven'' still suffered from no end of minor glitches and malfunctions. Ultimately the 'Mech disappeared from the Sabres' roster sometime after [[3049]], one rumor insisting that the pilot-less ''Number Seven'' "accidentally" fell out of a [[DropShip]] during a combat drop drill.<ref name=TRO3039-156/> <ref name=SSaD-43/> <ref name=SSaD-35>''Starterbook: Sword and Dragon'', p. 35, "Sorenson's Sabres - 3049"</ref> − − ==Notes== − * An [[apocryphal]] version of ''[[Charger#Apocryphal Variants|Number Seven]]'' appears in the video game [[MechWarrior Online]]: − {{ApocryphalContentStart}} − PGI's [[Hero 'Mech]] version of Terry Ford's ''Number Seven'' is built around a 320-rated standard engine. The smaller engine allows it to retain the 'Mech's ten tons of armor and head-mounted small laser while freeing up weight to carry a [[large laser]] in each side torso supported by a [[medium laser]] in each arm and the right torso. Twenty-five single heat sinks and four jump jets ensure ''Number Seven'' surprising mobility and endurance in battle.<ref name=MWO>''MechWarrior Online'' Evolutions Sale Page</ref> − − Although these changes might appear unlikely at first glance given Ford's reportedly limited technical skills, the (failed) Death From Above maneuver that killed Ford would have required the 'Mech to feature jump jets to carry out, indicating it was further modified at that point beyond the mere exchange of small lasers for two medium lasers that was reported as of 3025. − {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} − − ==References== − <references /> − − ==Bibliography== − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3025]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]'' − * ''[[Starterbook: Sword and Dragon]]'' [[Category:Individual 'Mechs]] [[Category:Individual 'Mechs]]
