Description
The Tessen began as a joint project between the Draconis Combine and ComStar to build a heavy scout 'Mech. The project fell through and was left unfinished until ComStar continued the project independantly when they were looking for a new 'Mech to deploy the new improved C3 system when it was initialy developed. The Tessen is built on a lightweight Endo Steel chassis and is powered by a lightweight Vlar 300 XL engine giving the 'Mech a top speed of 97.2 km/h. The Tessen carries an improved C3 computer allowing it to share targeting data with other C3i equipped friendly 'Mechs. Additionally the Tessen has an Improved Narc missile beacon launcher allowing it to designate targets for missile attacks from freindly units and a TAG laser designator allowing the Tessen to spot for Arrow IV artilery missile attacks. For protection from enemy fire the 'Tessen has nine tons of Durallex Ferro-Fibrous armor with CASE to protec against compelte destruction in the case of an ammunition explosion.
Armament
For long range combat the Tessen carries a single Lord's Light ER PPC capable of hitting enemy units at extreme ranges. For close combat the 'Mech has a single Diverse Optics Type 20P Medium Pulse Laser with which to defend itself.
Variants
- TSN-C3 - modified to be integrated into a standard C3 lance the C3 variant removes the C3i computer and replaces it with a C3 Slave unit. The weight savings allows the Tessen to carry an additional Medium Pulse Laser. BV (1.0) = 1,05
