Description
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 First Knights of the Inner Sphere during the Word of Blake's chemical attack on Atreus.[2]
Armament
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.
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.
Cargo
The Peacemaker has no significant cargo capability.
Variants
There are no variants known to exist.
Notes
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 Guns or Sprayers for use as water cannon, but this isn't mentioned in the source.
