Description
The Raptor began as a proof of concept design by Luthien Armor works that turned into a respected recon and fast strike OmniMech. The Raptor is built on an Alshain Type KR140 Endo Steel chassis and uses an Omni 175 XL Engine, which gives the Raptor a top speed of 118.8 kph, to save weight. Three and a half tons of armor provides protection to the Raptor from most light weapons. The Raptor relies more on its speed then anything else to protect it from taking damage then its thin armor protection.
Armament
The primary configuration of the Raptor is built to engage an enemy at long ranges with its three LRM 5 launchers. In the case that the enemy somehow manages to close with the swift moving Raptor in its primary configuration the 'Mech carries two Medium Lasers and two Small Lasers. Additionally in the primary configuration the Raptor carries two machine guns to defend against infantry attacks.

- Alt Config B - The B configuration carries three SRM 6 launchers and a Small Laser. This configuration is intended for close combat and works well in a vehicle-hunting role as well as in mop up operations. BV (1.0) = 798
- Alt Config C - Configured for medium to close range combat the C configuration of the Raptor is built to swoop in on a target and overwhelm an enemy with fire from its six Medium Lasers and two Small Pulse Lasers and adds two more double heat sinks. For missile defense the Raptor C carries an Anti-Missile System. BV (1.0) = 780
- Alt Config D - Loaded with advanced electronic equipment the D configuration carries a Tag laser designator, a Beagle Active Probe, and a C3 Slave unit. The Raptor D is armed with a short-range arsenal of three Streak SRM 2 launchers and two Small Lasers. To deter infantry attacks the D configuration has two Machine Guns.
