Description
Created when BattleMechs were still a mystery in the Periphery, Concordat Telecom and the TransStellar company created the Quasit. The Quasit is an IndustrialMech armed with military grade weaponry. Initially, the design was sold to unsuspecting settlements in the Periphery as a BattleMech. Once the the new owners had the Quasit face a proper BattleMech, the truth was pronounced by its capacities. After a brief setback, once the CTT decided sell it as a MilitiaMech to support militia troops, the design worked well.
The design survived into modern times because of its cost, though its popularity diminished greatly as BattleMechs became more accessible.
The design is noted for its cockpit being too small for an ejection seat. However, its environmental sealing allows for access to all the places a regular BattleMech can go.
