Project Icicle was a Dark Age project by the Lyran Commonwealth that tried to improve heat sink functionalities.[1]
History[edit]
The project was led by Damean Nacht, Chief Science Officer, under Leutnant-General Erich von Bulow's command.
The project had developed an unknown type of vehicle able to perform coolant flushing on a BattleMech equipped with the technology coming from Project Icicle. The idea was to allow the vehicle to help the BattleMech during battle to better manage its heat problems.
The first live-fire test of Project Icicle in 3135 was a failure. Leutnant Jaochim von Heldenberg's Zeus was destroyed during the test against Fenrir battle armor. Under fire, the crew of the support vehicle did not correctly react and the BattleMech ended up exploding, killing them all.
Damean Nacht thought he could improve the process.[1]
