Description
The Arbalest was first used during the Word of Blake's Jihad as Clan Nova Cat sought to improve its second-line forces. Its long-range firepower makes up for its relatively slow speed. Some of the variants of the Arbalest make up for this with a MASC system. The Arbalest is manufactured on the Nova Cat's enclave capital Irece in the Draconis Combine and can be found throughout the post jihad Inner Sphere.
Armament
With dual LRM-10s and ER Medium Lasers the Arbalest can fend off multiple attackers until reinforcements arrive.
Variants
- WX859-07C - The Kell Hounds' James Odom used a heavily modifed Arbalest that swapped out the standard engine and MASC system with a Vlar 125 Fusion XL and Leaper Model L5 Jump Jets. It also sports two Series 1b ER Small Lasers and two Pattern J6c Streak SRM-6 Launchers.
