Description
The Afreet is a battle armor design created by Clan Ice Hellion. The Afreet was created when Khan Raina Montose ordered two other projects merged, resulting in a battlesuit that seems to fit in well with the Hellion belief in speed over all else. The primary feature of the Afreet is its ability to leap one-hundred twenty meters at a time. This comes at a sacrifice to armor, as the Afreet is only able to stop a Clan ER Small Laser. It does, however, utilize Improved Sensors, a holdover from one of the suits it descended from.[2] Following the Hellion invasion of the Inner Sphere, both Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Hell's Horses salvaged and produced their own versions.[5]
Weapons and Equipment
The only gun on the Afreet is its Light Recoilless Rifle. The positively archaic gun is cheap, simple, and has twice the range of a Small Laser. On the down side, it also has, at best, half the damage potential. To supplement the rifle, the Afreet carries two retractable vibroblades. These melee weapons are surprisingly effective against unarmored infantry.[2][3]
Variants
- Jade Falcon
- The variant produced by Clan Jade Falcon replaces the rifle and sensors with an AP Gauss Rifle and Fire Resistant Armor. BV (2.0) = 63[3][6]
- Hell's Horses
- The Horses variant replaces the same equipment with a One-Shot SRM-3 and a Bearhunter Autocannon BV (2.0) = 32[3][7]
- Interdictor
- Designed to counter Blakist electronic gear, this Jade Falcon version uses a Heavy Machine Gun and an ECM Suite in place of the AP Gauss Rifle.[8] BV (2.0) = 38[9]
