Description
The Harasser was sanctioned by House Marik to work alongside the Galleon Light Tank. Made by the same company that manufactured the Galleon, and sharing numerous electronic components, it was extremely cheap to manufacture and produce in large numbers. While initial production runs were sent to urban defense garrisons and reserve units, it was eventually sent to the front-line to serve with Galleon units within the Free Worlds League.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
A pair of SureShot Mk VI SRM-6-racks give the Harasser more firepower than any other vehicle in its class, but this does come with a price, as it only mounts one and half tons of armor. With such little armor, its best defensive strategy is to use its speed. With a maximum speed of 162 km/h, a fleeing Harasser can outrun nearly everything, running circles around heavier BattleMechs and making it a much harder target to hit.[2]
Variants
- Small Laser
- Another specialized variant design, to operate without support and far from supply lines. It mounts five Small Lasers in the turret. BV (2.0) = 233[citation needed]
- Harasser Laser Platform
- A variant seen within the Galleon Light Tank units, this uses two medium lasers, salvaged from damaged or destroyed Galleon Light Tanks. BV (2.0) = 321[5]
- Thunderbolt
- Based on the MML variant, this 3089 version carries two Thunderbolt 5 missile launchers and a ton of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 541[8]
Custom Variants
- Fuel Cell
- This variant is equipped with a fuel cell-powered motor that allows it to move at a maximum speed of 150 km/h. It is also equipped with three turret-mounted MML-5s and two tons of ammunition. It is protected by one and a half tons of Reflective Armor. It's used by two spoiled brat twin girls who have committed crimes across The Republic of the Sphere in 3081.[12] BV (2.0) = 447[13][14]
Design Quirks
The Harasser (Fuel Cell) variant is subject to the following Design Quirk:[12]
Notes
- The Harasser appeared in Dragon Magazine in 1986, as an advance preview of Technical Readout: 3026. The TRO entry "filed off the serial numbers", keeping the SureShot Mk. VI SRMs while the "fluff" was changed in the print version of TRO:3026.[15]
- The production date of the Harasser was intentionally changed from the TRO:3026 entry of 2829 to 2811 by the MUL team.[16]
