Description
The SLG-X Slagmaiden BattleMech is a mixed hybrid of Clan and Inner Sphere experimental technologies. Built in 3076 by Arc-Royal MechWorks, the 'Mech was intended to showcase advanced technologies and boost the morale of troops during the Jihad. Only two Slagmaidens were ever constructed, due to some of its design features and its expense. It is unknown if the Slagmaiden will ever reach general production, as the 'Mech seems destined for the niche of arena combat.[2]
Armament and Capacities
Intended more for dueling than battlefield combat use, the design hosts a number of medium- and short-range weapons. The Slagmaiden's principal weapon is its Clan Heavy Large Laser, which is mounted in its right arm. To help mitigate the significant heat buildup from the laser, Techs have installed a Laser Insulator with the weapon. The 'Mech's short range weaponry includes a pair of Extended Range Flamers found in its right arm, while a pair of Streak SRM 2s are mounted in each side torso. The ammunition for the 'Maiden is protected by CASE II, which is fitted in the left torso.
The Maiden's other signature feature is the Large Shield found in its left arm. While the shield is active, the 'Mech is unable to use its torso-mounted weapons. The weapon also slows the 'Mech down by 11 km/h. However, this is offset by the 'Mechs's Supercharger, which pushes the 'Mech's speed to 108 km/h. Techs also applied 10.5 tons of standard armor to the hull to protect the 'Mech's fragile interior from harm.[3]
