Description

A 'Mech produced by the Wolfs Dragoons the Imp is designed with weapons that can engage an enemy at a multitude of ranges. The 'Mech has what seems to be a weapon for just about any range or situation and can be called a "Swiss Army Knife" of a 'Mech. The Imp does only have a maximum speed of 54 kph which is not extremely fast, but this does allow it to keep pace with most 'Mechs of the assault class. The 'Mech is also armored with eighteen tons of armor which is more then respectable for its weight and which provides a great deal of protection.

Armament

The Imp carries as its primary long range weapons a pair of Magna Firestar ER PPCs for direct fire and a Mitchell Systems LRM 15. For intermediate combat the 'Mech carries a Thunderbolt-12 Large Pulse Laser and finally for short range combat the 'Mech carries two Magna 400P Medium Pulse Lasers and two Martell Model 5 Medium Lasers.
