==Description==
 
==Description==
Produced by [[Majesty Metals and Manufacturing]] in [[Introduction Year::3108]], the '''''Agrotera''''' is a medium [[BattleMech]] that would go on to serve in the armed forces of both the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and its ally, the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Based on the [[Word of Blake]]'s variant of the ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'', the ''Agrotera'' is designed as a multipurpose and ammunition-efficient design.

Based on the [[Word of Blake]]'s variant of the ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'', the ''Agrotera'' is designed as a multipurpose and ammunition-efficient design.  
  
The design would see action with the MoC's [[1st Magistracy Highlanders]] on [[Bethonolog]] in 3108 against more dangerous [[pirates]], where a pair of ''Agrotera''s engaged a full lance of heavy BattleMechs. While trying to buy time for the rest of the Highlanders to arrive, the two 'Mechs managed to force the bandits into submission through the ''Agrotera''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s steady delivery of damaging blows against them while simultaneously outmaneuvering them. Their performance soon proved to be too much for the pirates, and the survivors surrendered just as the rest of the Highlanders' heavier units arrived on the scene.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p. 36 Argotera - Background.</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Designed with [[Technology Rating|advanced technology]] in mind, the 'Mech's engineers outfitted the ''Agrotera'' with new advancements made during the [[Jihad]]. Like the 3060s redesigned ''Phoenix Hawk'', the 'Mech is fitted with a [[Full-Head Ejection System]], which allows for increased comfort and safety for the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] should its nine and a half tons of [[standard armor]] fail. A [[Partial Wing (BattleMech)|partial wing]] boosts mobility and cooling. The design also benefits from weight savings by being fitted with a [[Rawlings 300 XL]] [[extralight engine]] and an [[XL gyro]]. [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] equipment is fitted to allow the ''Agrotera'' to act as a spotter for friendly fire-support units.

The design also benefits from weight savings by being fitted with a 300-Rated Rawlings Extra-Light Fusion Engine and an [[XL Gyro|Extra-Light Gyro]]. Its hull is protected by 9.5 tons of Standard Armor. [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] equipment is fitted to allow the ''Agrotera'' to act as a spotter for friendly fire-support units.
  
The ''Agrotera''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s long-range weapon is its [[Ceres Arms Smasher]] [[ER PPC]], mounted in its left arm [[actuator]], its accuracy enhanced with the fitting of an [[Actuator Enhancement System]]. In addition to the ER PPC, the 'Mech also has a single [[Diverse Optics (MVSPL)|Diverse Optics]] [[medium variable speed pulse laser]] found in the right arm, a regular [[medium pulse laser]], and a pair of [[Diverse Optics (SPL)|Diverse Optics]] [[small pulse laser]]s, one on each of the side torsos as a means to deter [[infantry]] and [[battle armor]] threats.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', pp. 37 & 83 Argotera - Stats.</ref>

*; AGT-UA Agrotera ''Ariel'' : Debuted in [[3145]] on [[The Pool]] Arena and piloted by [[Judith Benson]], this version that fights in [[Solaris VII]] [[The Pool]] arena trades flight for fins by swapping out its [[improved jump jet]]s in favor of [[UMU]]s. Fitted with the latest in Clan-made [[HarJel#BattleMech HarJel System|HarJel]] armor-repairing technology around the torso sections virtually ensures that its opponent will not land an engine-killing hull breach any time soon. Clan-spec weaponry is mounted, with two [[ER large laser]]s and two [[ER medium laser]]s giving the ''Ariel'' better than-average reach both above and below the water line. Clan [[reflective armor]] and [[double heat sink]]s protect the 'Mech. Finally, The [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] unit was removed.
