Description
The Wyvern was designed in 2660 as an urban warfare BattleMech. The Wyvern is considered a slow 'Mech for its weight class when compared in general, but in a city or close confine environment the Wyvern does not require a great deal of speed to be highly effective. The Wyvern also uses CASE technology to protect all of its very vulnerable ammunition. In the event that one of its ammunition bins is hit, the Wyvern can survive and remove itself from combat for repairs.
Armament
The Wyvern carries an eclectic, but effective, mix of weapons. The primary weapon used is a Nightwind Large Laser. This is backed up by several weapons. For close range combat, the Wyvern carries two Starflash Small Lasers and a Totschlagen-6 SRM-6 launcher. The Wyvern also carries a Jackson Dart LRM-5 launcher to harass enemy units from range and for indirect fire.
Variants
- WVE-6N - The 6N Wyvern is the downgraded version of the 'Mech used during the Succession Wars. The Endo Steel internal structure has been removed as well as the CASE in the left and right torsos. While the loss of the weight from the CASE systems somewhat offsets the weight added by losing the Endo Steel structure, the Wyvern still loses one ton of armor protection. The weapons systems, as well as the 'Mech's speed and jumping capabilities, have remained the same. BV (1.0) = 797, BV (2.0) = 1,005
- WVE-9N - The 9N takes advantage of pulse laser technology by upgrading the Large Laser to a Large Pulse Laser and upgrades both of the Small Lasers to Medium Pulse Lasers. To facilitate this, the SRM launcher has been downgraded to a highly accurate Streak SRM-2 launcher. The 9N was produced by ComStar prior to the Battle of Tukayyid. BV (1.0) = 951, BV (2.0) = 1,067
- WVE-10N - Produced by Maltex once again beginning in 3064, the 10N transforms the Wyvern from a brutal street fighter to a long-range sniper. The 'Mechs speed and jumping capabilities have been retained but otherwise just about everything has changed except for the LRM-10. The 10N carries eight tons of standard armor and CASE for the LRM-10 ammunition. The primary weapon has been upgraded from a Large Laser to an ER PPC. The back up weapon has also been upgraded to a single Medium Pulse Laser. The Wyvern has also had a Guardian ECM Suite installed as well as an improved C3 computer to allow it to use targeting telemetry from its comrades. BV (1.0) = 1,098, BV (2.0) = 1,199
- Wyvern IIC - The Wyvern was one of the 'Mechs carried on the exodus with General Kerensky and the remnants of the Star League Defense Force. The Clans have created their own variant of the Wyvern called the Wyvern IIC which is an upgraded version using clan technology. BV (1.0) = 1,426, BV (2.0) = 1,624
