Description
The Preta (which means "ghost" in Hindu) is the second-lightest in the Word of Blake's new Celestial-series of OmniMechs, which are primarily piloted by Manei Domini. As with the other Celestials, the Preta was designed by Doctor Devon Cortland. Like the others, this 'Mech is full of brand new, 3069-era technology. Like all of the other Celestials, the Preta features a C3i Computer and a small cockpit. It's built on a lightweight Endo Steel chassis and uses a light fusion engine for power. For protection, the Preta uses nine tons of standard armor.
Armament
The primary variant, the Invictus, is armed with an incredibly accurate Retractable Blade for close combat. It also uses a Light PPC and a Snub-Nose PPC that deals more damage as the 'Mech closes with its opponent. The Invictus sports an anti-missile system for further defensive capabilities.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A (Dominus) - This configuration sports Improved Jump Jets that allow the Preta to jump up to 240 meters. Offensively, it uses two pairs of arm-mounted ER Medium Lasers guided by a Targeting Computer. An extra pair of heat sinks keeps the heat buildup nil. BV (2.0) = 1,302[1]
- Alt. Config. B (Infernus) - The Infernus variant is a mobile sniper and a capable light 'Mech killer. Six jump jets catapult the 'Mech up to 180 meters at a leap. A Heavy PPC gives the Preta B a respectable punch. It is supplemented by an ER Medium Laser. BV (2.0) = 1,338[1]
- Alt. Config. C (Comminus) - The Preta C is a scout variant with its Beagle Active Probe and TAG. A Plasma Rifle is effective against all types of units. In close, the Comminus variant can call upon an ER Small Laser and two Medium Pulse Lasers. BV (2.0) = 1,187[1]
- Alt. Config. D (Luminos) - This variant is a capable knife fighter. Six jump jets give it a maximum jumping distance of 180 meters. A Snub-Nose PPC deals damage at long range, but is more powerful up close. A pair of Medium Pulse Lasers are highly accurate, as are the twin Small Pulse Lasers that are so devastating against infantry. BV (2.0) = 1,158[1]
- Alt. Config. E (Eminus) - The Preta E utilizes a experimental Thunderbolt 15, though it only has enough ammunition to fire four times. Nonetheless, CASE protects the ammo bin. A pair of ER Mediums provide respectable firepower, while a Rocket Launcher 10 should make smaller enemies wary until it is expended. BV (2.0) = 1,211[1]
