Description
The Fafnir was intended to become Defiance Industries of Hesperus' flagship BattleMech. The slow assault design also serves as a platform for the pair of "Thor's Hammers." The Fafnir is built on a lightweight Foundation Type 220 Endo Steel chassis that is capable of supporting the Fafnirs massive weapons payload and armor while weighing half as much as a standard chassis. To power this massive 'Mech a Vlar 300 fusion engine gives the Fafnir a top speed of 54 km/h. The Fafnir is protected by nineteen and a half tons of Durallex Speical Heavy V2 armor giving it almost as much armor as the entire mass of some light 'Mechs. The Fafnir has CASE in both of its side torsos to protect against secondary damage if one of the Heavy Gauss Rifle]]s are damaged. Finally for protection from enemy electronic warfare systems the Fafnir has a Guardian ECM Suite.
Armament
Made on the heaviest chassis available, the Fafnir sports two of the Lyran Alliance's newest weapons, the Heavy Gauss Rifle. The largest non-artillery weapon in existence, the Hammerfists can deal an immense amount of damage very quickly. The Fafnir cannot operate for for supply lines, however, as it only has three Medium Lasers as a backup.
Variants
- FNR-5B - A lack of Thor's Hammers during the FedCom Civil War forced engineers to come up with a field modification that could be useful without the Heavy Gauss Rifles. The solution was to replace them with a pair of standard Gauss Rifles, ER Medium Lasers, and ER Large Lasers. This does not help the lack of ammo that plagues the FNR-5, but it does make the design more viable without ammunition. BV (1.0) = 2230
