Description[edit]
First produced by Wangker Aerospace of Mars during the first decade of the thirty-second century, the Schrack is a well-built medium class OmniFighter first created for service of the Republic of the Sphere's Armed Forces. The Schrack is principally designed to be a flexible and fast-moving fighter, which in its configurations leads it to have some considerably hard-hitting firepower. The Schrack is used principally as an interceptor and interdiction craft for the Republic's Navy.
The Schrack's most significant usage was during the 3130s and 40s, when events of Gray Monday caused the ripple effect of the Republic's retreat from the Inner Sphere into its Fortress's Walls. In October of 3136, two squadrons of Schrack were used to fend off Capellan forces attacking Republic forces withdrawing from the world of Aldebaran. These squadrons would fend off Capellan aerospace forces, which included a pair of Lung Wang class assault DropShips. The Schrack pilots eventually forced back the Liao forces at the cost of most of these two squadrons.
During the Republic's isolation during the 3140s, the renegade ComStar forces became a threat to the nation's attempts to recover and rebuild. In 3140, Schrack squadrons assigned to the Republic WarShip Auspicium would see action. These squadrons were dispatched on a high-speed intercept of ComStar DropShips arriving at Epsilon Eridani's nadir jump point. In a high-speed pursuit, these Schracks would engage and destroy the Achilles class DropShip, Purity of Purpose at the cost of all but four of their number.[2]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Schrack is a fast fighter for its weight class, using its Krupp-built 300-rated extralight fusion engine to propel the craft to the speed once belonging solely to light fighters used just a century before. The frame of the craft is able to handle 30 tons worth of OmniPod weapons and equipment while its hull is protected by 12.5 tons of heavy ferro-aluminum armor.
The Shrack's primary configuration consists of intermediate and short-range weaponry. The main weapon is an improved heavy Gauss rifle with three tons of ammunition, backed up by a trio of ER medium lasers found in the nose with a standard Gauss rifle and wing-mounted Streak SRM-2 launchers rounds out the fighter's power in a close range engagement. The primary configuration has been used in the role of an interceptor, and its main weapon aids in the anti-DropShip role.[2][3]
Alternate Configurations[edit]
- Alternate Configuration A
- Despite being used as a interceptor, this version of the fighter has considerably more firepower than the primary. It is armed with a conventional Gauss rifle in the nose with two tons of ammunition, while each of the wings has array of three ER medium lasers, with an additional laser mounted in the aft. Six additional double heat sinks are fitted to handle the heavy heat load. BV(2.0) = 2,173[4][5]
- Alternate Configuration B
- Considered to be a close-in dogfighter, the B configuration'S firepower comes from pair of RAC/5s found in the nose. Several tons of ammunition is allotted to these guns to give the fighter some longevity during an engagement while a pair of nose-mounted ER medium lasers provides fallback firepower for the pilot to rely on once the autocannon's ammo bin runs dry. An additional double heat sink is provided for heat management. BV(2.0) = 2,212[4][6]
Design Quirks[edit]
The Schrack has the following Design Quirks:
