The '''''Titan II''''' is a [[BattleMech]] produced by [[Kressly Warworks|Kressly WarWorks]] on [[Epsilon Eridani]] for the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[Word of Blake Protectorate Militia|Protectorate Militia]]. First identified by the [[Successor States]] in [[3071]], the ''Titan II'' owes its existence to the ''Titan'', a prototype that dates to [[2765]]. That design was unearthed by the [[Federated Suns]] in [[3023]] and led to the ''[[Grand Titan]]''. That design deviated significantly from the original, while the ''Titan II'' is more of an upgrade using new weaponry.<ref name=TRO94>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 94</ref>

Like the original, the ''Titan II'' has a top speed of 54 km/h and nineteen tons of standard armor. Since the 'Mech is produced for the Blakists' garrison forces, it makes no use of expensive, weight-saving technologies. It also lacks the advanced electronics that have become the hallmark of Word military forces.<ref name=TRO94 />

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
While the ''Titan II'' is effective at all ranges, it is still reminiscent of its antecedent's role as a brawler. Its main long-range fire comes from a Blankenburg "Divine Wrath" Heavy PPC. This is supplemented by a pair of Helga MML-9s, though they are more effective up close. In addition to those missiles, when it closes with an enemy, the ''Titan II'' can cut loose with a ZT Triple Fire Streak SRM-6, four Diplan M3-XR [[ER medium laser]]s and a single Kressly Premiere Optics ER Small Laser.<ref name=TRO94 /> Eighteen [[double heat sink]]s are usually up to the task of keeping the 'Mech cool.<ref name=TRO3075p95>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 95</ref>

*; TI-1A : The original ''Titan'' never reached full-scale production, though rumors abound that the Federated Suns produced prototypes, some with upgraded technology. The 1A called for two [[PPC]]s, six [[medium laser]]s, four [[SRM-4]]s, and an [[SRM-6]]. It only had twenty-two [[heat sink]]s and a different armor configuration.<ref name=TRJp188f /> BV (2.0) = 1,959<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 97</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 414</ref> This early prototype was designed sometime in the year [[Earliest Introduction Year::2787]].

*; TI-1Aj : The ''Titan'' was reintroduced into production during the [[Dark Age era]]. It replaced the SRM-6 with an SRM-4 and the twenty-two heat sinks were replaced by sixteen double heat sinks. It added [[CASE]] to the ammunition bays, added three [[Jump Jet]]s, and upgraded the PPCs to [[ER PPC|extended range models]].

* TI-2P - A newer weapon configuration, the 2P is designed for work against domestic insurgents. It has a pair of [[Plasma Rifle]]s, four Medium Lasers, retains the Streak SRM launcher, and mounts two [[Machine Gun Array]]s, each with four [[Machine Gun]]s. It can also utilize a [[Beagle Active Probe]] to find hidden units.<ref name=TRO94 /> BV (2.0) = 2,468<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 98</ref>
 
 
*; TI-1Ar : This ''Titan'' variant was introduced at the same time as the TI-1Aj. It uses the same SRM-4 and double heat sink count, but uses three standard PPCs. BV (2.0) = 2,165<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 199</ref>
