Description
The Emperor began production in 2612 and was produced through to the Second Succession War when the plant that produced it was destroyed in an attack by forces from the Free Worlds League. Production of the Emperor resumed in 3057 alongside the legendary Highlander BattleMech. The Emperor has better then average mobility for a ninety ton 'Mech with a top speed of 54 km/h and the ability to jump up to ninety meters. To power the Emperor the 'Mech has a massive PlasmaStar 270 XL Engine. For protection the Emperor carries an impressive seventeen and a half tons of armor with CASE that protects the Emperor from complete destruction if an ammunition bin is hit although such damage would still result in the Emperor being effectively removed from battle. Finally to dissipate the 'Mechs heavy heat load the Emperor carries twelve double heat sinks.
Armament
The Emperor gets its primary firepower from a pair of Imperator Code Red LB-X Autocannon/10s that are capable of firing both standard ammunition as well as cluster ammunition which allows the autocannons to act in a manner similar to 'Mech sized shotguns. Additionally the cluster ammunition lets the Emperor serve in an anti-aircraft role. Secondary to the Autocannons are two Magna Mk III Large Lasers which have a similar range profile to the Autocannons and can do a great deal of damage in concert with them or on thier own. For close combat the 'Mech has two highly accurate Defiance P5M Medium Pulse Lasers and a Photech 806c Medium Laser.
