Description[edit]
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.
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 First Knights of the Inner Sphere during the Word of Blake's chemical attack on Atreus in the early years of the Jihad.[4] 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's BattleMech taser can easily shut down an enemy unit.
The IrTech factories would eventually end up being destroyed, but the Peacemaker's production lines would end up surviving the conflict.[5]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
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 rounds to disperse rioters. To protect the Peacemaker's pilot from the tear gas and other irritants the entire 'Mech has environmental sealing, while a searchlight in the left torso allows the Peacemaker to participate in nighttime search and rescue operations.
Though the half-ton of machine gun 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 even the largest assault 'Mech to shut down completely, leaving the MechWarrior stranded and easy prey for SWAT teams or anti-'Mech infantry.
Variants[edit]
- 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 lasers 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[3][6]
Notes[edit]
- 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's background get further fleshed out by the Copper SecurityMech's entry, giving information about the Peacekeeper and its predecessor, the Peacemaker.
