The 'Mech also incorporates a great deal of advanced technologies, both to save weight and make the ''Ti Ts'ang'' as deadly as possible. The [['Mech]] is powered by a lightweight Hermes 360 [[XL engine]] which provides a maximum speed of 97.2 km/h. The ''Ti Ts'ang'' augments this speed with [[Triple Strength Myomer]] which allows the 'Mech to move at speeds of up to 118.8 km/h under the correct conditions. The ''Ti Ts'ang'' saves weight for a heavier weapons payload through the use of an SL Special [[Endo Steel]] chassis that weighs half as much as a standard internal structure. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Ti Ts'ang'' has twelve and a half tons of Durallex Heavy armor giving it almost the maximum amount of armor protection a 'Mech of its size can carry.<ref name=TRO:3060p106f>''Technical Readout: 3060'', pp. 106-107, "Ti Ts'ang Profile"</ref> |

Description[edit]
Commissioned as part of the Xin Sheng revitalization effort by Sun-Tzu Liao, the Ti Ts'ang is a heavy 'Mech that is designed with a clearly Chinese-influenced aesthetic. The 'Mech also incorporates a great deal of advanced technologies, both to save weight and make the Ti Ts'ang as deadly as possible. The 'Mech is powered by a lightweight Hermes 360 XL engine which provides a maximum speed of 97.2 km/h. The Ti Ts'ang augments this speed with Triple Strength Myomer which allows the 'Mech to move at speeds of up to 118.8 km/h under the correct conditions. The Ti Ts'ang saves weight for a heavier weapons payload through the use of an SL Special Endo Steel chassis that weighs half as much as a standard internal structure. For protection from enemy fire, the Ti Ts'ang has twelve and a half tons of Durallex Heavy armor giving it almost the maximum amount of armor protection a 'Mech of its size can carry.[6]
Armament[edit]
Built exclusively for medium to short range combat, the Ti Ts'ang carries a devastating array of five Diverse Optics Type ER Medium Lasers backed up by four Diverse Optics Type ER Small Lasers as its only ranged weapons. The 'Mech's most fearsome weapon is its Hatchet, which is capable of cleaving into an enemy's 'Mech and when the Triple Strength Myomer is active it is capable of slicing through armor like a hot knife through butter. Additionally, the Ti Ts'ang has an Apple Churchill 442x TAG laser designator that allows the 'Mech to call in highly accurate missile or artillery strikes.[6]
Variants[edit]
- TSG-9C
- The 9C variant was introduced during the Jihad and carried the least amount of weapons in comparison to the previous variants of the Ti Ts'ang. Aside from its Hatchet, the 'Mech has been fitted with a plasma rifle in the left arm which is supplied with 2 tons of ammo. For secondary weaponry, the 'mech has 2 ER Medium Lasers & ER Small Lasers scattered about its torso and head. BV (2.0) = 1,950[7]
- TSG-9DDC
- Developed by MechWarriors from Warrior House Dai Da Chi, this variant of the Ti Ts'ang uses several experimental systems to provide a 'Mech customized to their needs. Using a Small Cockpit allows for a Supercharger to increase the ground speed of the 'Mech. The Hatchet of the standard Ti Ts'ang is replaced with a Lance that can penetrate armor in a single blow. Finally, the Small Lasers of the standard model have been replaced by Small X-Pulse Lasers. For greater accuracy, a Targeting Computer is used.[8] Though it had a troubled development history, by 3083 this variant was in full production on Capella.[9] BV (2.0) = 1,984[10]
- TSG-9J
- The 9J variant of the Ti Ts'ang is built with long range combat in mind. In order to allow the 'Mech to defend itself, the TAG laser as well as two ER Medium Lasers, two ER Small Lasers, and a double heat sink have been removed to make room for an ER Large Laser, allowing the Ti Ts'ang to strike at long ranges.[1] BV (1.0) = 1,464[3][11], BV (2.0) = 1,870[12]
- TSG-10L
- This Ti Ts'ang is protected by Heat-Dissipating Armor. It uses an XXL engine for power and uses an Endo-Composite skeleton. A chaff pod interferes with targeting systems. It retains the Hatchet, TAG, and Triple Strength Myomer of the basic model, and carries four Small Lasers and a Medium Variable Speed Pulse Laser in the left arm. Four Medium Lasers are mounted in the torso. BV (2.0) = 1,730[13]
Custom Variants[edit]
- TSG-9H Ti Ts'ang Jason
- Used by Jason Zaklan of the Death Commandos, this Ti Ts'ang trades the TAG system for an ER Medium Laser. The standard ER lasers have been removed and replaced by four Small Pulse Lasers and three Medium Pulse Lasers. In addition the 'Mech only carries ten double heat sinks. This would be a danger on the battlefield, but is perfect for Zaklan's assignment: Monitoring the arena fighting on Solaris. BV (2.0) = 1,602[14]
- TSG-9 Ti Ts'ang China Doll
- Used by Kelley Metz, this Ti Ts'ang is slower than other variants, but it is equipped with a Supercharger and Improved Jump Jets. It carriers 12 Double Heat Sinks that cannot contain the heat of 5 ER Medium Lasers and 2 ER Small Lasers. As a complementary weapon, it carries a Hatchet. Endo-steel and an XL engine are needed to make this variant work. BV (1.0) = 1,492 / BV (2.0) = 1,739 [15][16]
Design Quirks[edit]
The Ti Ts'ang has the following Design Quirk:[17]
The TSG-9DDC Ti Ts'ang variant is subject of the following Design Quirks:[9]
- Difficult to Maintain
- Improved Life Support
- Jettison-Capable Weapon (Lance)
- Non-Standard Parts
- Protected Actuators
