==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Peacemaker''''' PoliceMech is an [[IndustrialMech]] which was created to serve the same law enforcement market that would buy the ''[[Copper]]''. The design's origin can be traced to the [[Star League Era]] ''Peacekeeper'' [[SecurityMech]], after which the ''Peacemaker'' and the earlier ''Copper'' would be based on. The design first came about when [[Irian Technologies]] negotiated the license for the original ''Peacekeeper'' from [[Coventry Metal Works]]. Reworking the ancient design, IrTech would gear it to be better suited for urban law enforcement tasks, with the ''Peacemaker'' making its debut in [[3070]].

The '''''PM6 Peacemaker''''' Industrial 'Mech was created to serve the same law enforcement market that would buy the ''[[Copper]]'' industrial 'Mech. Their best known action was being used by the Atreus City Police Department's Mounted Response Unit to maintain a quarantine cordon against the [[1st Knights of the Inner Sphere|First Knights of the Inner Sphere]] during the [[Word of Blake]]'s chemical attack on [[Atreus]].<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus, pp. 6-7''</ref>
  
One of its best known actions was when it was used by the [[Atreus City Police Department]]'s [[Mounted Response Unit]] to maintain a quarantine cordon against the [[1st Knights of the Inner Sphere|First Knights of the Inner Sphere]] during the [[Word of Blake]]'s chemical attack on [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] in the early years of the [[Jihad]].<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', pp. 6–7</ref> The ''Peacemaker'' has also been used by various insurgent and criminal groups across the [[Inner Sphere]], and although it's no match for a [[BattleMech]], the ''Peacemaker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[BattleMech taser]] can easily shut down an enemy unit.

The ''Peacemaker'' has also been used by various insurgent and criminal groups across the [[Inner Sphere]]. Though no match for a [[BattleMech]], the ''Peacemaker'' and its taser can easily shut down an enemy unit.
  
The IrTech factories would eventually end up being destroyed, but the ''Peacemaker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s production lines would end up surviving the conflict.<ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex, Revised'', p. 228: Armed and Dangerous / PM-6 Peacekeeper - "Peacekeeper fluff regarding post-Jihad and origin of the design</ref>
+
==Weapons and Equipment==
 +
As a PoliceMech, the ''Peacemaker'' isn't armed to face front line forces. The [[Machine Gun]] and [[SRM-2]] are typically loaded with less-lethal ammunition like rubber bullets and [[Tear Gas]] SRM loads to disperse rioters. To protect the ''Peacemaker'''s pilot from the tear gas and other irritants the entire 'Mech has Environmental Sealing. A searchlight in the left torso allows the ''Peacemaker'' to participate in night time search and rescue operations.
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
Though the half-ton of MG ammunition and single ton of SRM loads may lead observers to dismiss the ''Peacemaker'', there is one surprise waiting for anyone so foolish: A [[BattleMech Taser]] mounted in the right arm. This weapon can cause the largest Assault 'Mech to shut down completely, leaving the MechWarrior stranded and easy prey for SWAT teams or Anti-Mech Infantry.

The ''Peacemaker'' has no significant cargo capability.

*; PK-6 ''Peacekeeper'' SecurityMech : The namesake of the ''Peacekeeper'' series and the original SecurityMech, it was the first to be built by the standards of the [[SecurityMech Treaty]], but proved to be a failure as both as a PoliceMech and combat unit. It was armed with two [[medium laser]]s in its right arm, an [[SRM-2]] in its right torso, a single [[machine gun]] in its left arm, all guided by an [[advanced fire control]] system. Built with an IndustrialMech chassis, it also featured [[environmental sealing]] and a front-mounted [[searchlight]]. BV (2.0) = 422<ref name=RSVAp79 /><ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex, Revised'', p. 228: Armed and Dangerous - "Original design of both ''Copper'' and ''Peacemaker'' designs, background information regarding how it came about</ref>
+
There are no variants known to exist.
  
 
==Notes==
 
==Notes==
* The ''Peacemaker'' was originally introduced in ''[[Jihad Turning Points: Atreus]]'', where it had little background information available at the time this product was published. Only later, when ''[[Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised]]'' was published, did the ''Peacemaker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s background get further fleshed out by the ''Copper'' SecurityMech's entry, giving information about the ''Peacekeeper'' and its predecessor, the ''Peacemaker''.
+
Introduced in ''[[Jihad Turning Points: Atreus]]'', there is little fluff available in that source. The '''PM6''' designation implies that there were at least five previous versions of the ''Peacemaker''. Given the role of PoliceMech, it is likely that there are variants mounting [[Fluid Gun]]s or Sprayers for use as water cannon, but this isn't mentioned in the source.
