==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Jabberwocky''''' is a midsize, fusion-powered [[IndustrialMech]] designed for construction, salvage, and support roles. It is noted for its semi-modular arm and backpack accessories, which allows it to change out equipment for different tasks. Its technology is similar to the later ''[[Mercury (BattleMech)|Mercury]]'' [[BattleMech]]'s noted semi-modular design features.<ref name=TRO:3075/>

Its technology is similar to the later ''[[Mercury]]'' [[BattleMech]]s noted semi-modular design features.  
  
Originally built by [[Jalastar Aerospace]] as a military support 'Mech in the [[twenty-sixth century]], it failed to live up to expectations. Where the 65A Model was pronounced a failure 520 years ago, the redesigned JAW-66B ''Jabberwocky'' made up for its ancestor's failures in spades. Jalastar reintroduced the IndustrialMech in [[3069]] to help meet the demands for durable support machines during the outbreak of the [[Jihad]]. The IndustrialMech's semi-modular technology has allowed Jalastar to sell upgrade packs for the 'Mech to allow customers to easily modify the ''Jabberwocky'' with other equipment for different tasks. The 66B model and its variants are produced on the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Panpour]].<ref name=TRO:3075/>

Originally built by Jalastar Aerospace as a Military Support 'Mech in the [[26th Century]], it failed to live up to expectations. Where the 66A Model was pronounced a failure five hundred twenty years ago, the re-designed JAB-66B ''Jabberwocky'' made up for its ancestor's failures in spades. Jalastar re-introduced the IndustrialMech in [[3069]] to help meet the demands for durable support machines during the breakout of the [[Jihad]]. The 66B is its salvage variant of the ''Jabberwocky'' line. The IndustrialMech's semi-modular technology has allowed Jalastar to sell upgrade packs for the 'Mech to allow customers to easily modify the ''Jaberwocky'' with other equipment for different tasks. The 66B model and its variants are produced on the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Panpour]].
  
During the [[Jihad]], Jalastar's main factory was heavily damaged by the [[Taurian Concordat]]. Although the ''Jabberwocky'' production line was left intact, a new [[MilitiaMech]] variant of the ''Jabberwocky'' was soon pressed into service by the Federated Suns. However, by the war's end, the need for MilitiaMechs waned causing Jalastar to rebrand the JAW-67 as a SecurityMech.<ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex, Revised'', p. 228: JAW-67 Jabberwocky MilitiaMech - "Jabberwocky pressed into military service as replacement frontline machine in FedSuns during the Jihad</ref>

==Equipment and Features==
 +
The ''Jabberwocky'' 66B is far more versatile than its predecessor. The 'Mech's mobility has increased in terms of both speed and maneuverability due to being equipped with a fusion engine and three Panpour Specials jump jets. This gives the 'Mech a jumping capacity of 90 meters. The ''Jabberwocky'' has been given a pair of tracks to allow for easier navigation on the roads.  
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
The 'Mech uses a Salvage Arm mounted in place of its right arm, and a Spot Welder for its left.  Mounted on the back of its torso, the IndustrialMech has two hoist lifts. With the addition of [[Industrial TSM]], this gives the 'Mech the capacity to carry up to 100 tons.

For hazardous environments: underwater, radioactive battlefields, and even the vacuum of space, the 'Mech has been given [[Environmental Sealing]]. It is also equipped with a [[search light]] for night activities.

No Cargo bays, but with two hoist lifts, it can carry hundred tons of equipment.
  
 
==Variants==
 
==Variants==
*; JAW-65A : The original model of the ''Jabberwocky'' designed in [[Introduction Year::2549]] during the [[Age of War]], the 'Mech was equipped with a [[fuel cell]] engine. The design had limited equipment, considerably less armor and no [[jump jet]]s. BV (2.0) = 230<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 128</ref>
 
  
*; JAW-66C "Demolition Variant" : The [[spot welder]] is swapped out for a [[rock cutter]] and removes the left [[lift hoist]]. BV (2.0) = 351<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 222</ref> or 324<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 129</ref>

'''*JAB-66A -''' The original model of the ''Jabberwocky'' during the [[Age of War]], the 'Mech was equipped with a [[Fuel Cell]] Engine. The design had limited equipment, considerably less armor and no [[Jump Jet|jump jets]].
  
*; JAW-66D "Construction Variant" : A pair of [[rivet gun]]s has been added to the machine, one per arm with one ton of rivets and nails between them. The left [[lift hoist]] is removed for a one ton internal [[cargo bay]]. BV (2.0) = 353<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 223</ref> or 326<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 130</ref>
+
'''*JAB-66C "Demolition Variant" -''' The spot welder is swapped out for a [[rock cutter]] and removes the left lift hoist.
  
*; JAW-67 "MilitiaMech Variant" : A completely reworked version of the standard -66 variant, geared for combat. This version was redesigned as both a factory made model and as a refit kit for would-be customers during the [[Jihad]]. The JAW-67 has [[environmental sealing]], a [[searchlight]], [[Industrial TSM]], and [[heavy industrial armor]], which is increased for combat use. This militarized version of the 'Mech is armed with a right arm mounted [[large laser]], two of [[medium laser]]s split between the left arm the right torso, and an [[LRM-5]] system in left torso with one ton of ammunition. To allow for maximum mobility, taking advantage of its fusion engine, the JAW-67 mounts three [[jump jet]]s. BV (2.0) = 907<ref>''Record Sheets: Vehicle Annex, IndustrialMechs & Exoskeletons'', p. 90: JAW-67 Jabberwocky MilitiaMech - Stats and Military capacities</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex, Revised'', p. 228: JAW-67 Jabberwocky MilitiaMech - Fluff on MilitiaMech Version</ref>
+
'''*JAB-66D "Construction Variant" -''' A pair of [[rivet|nail/rivet guns]] has been added to the machine, one per arm with ton of rivets/nails between them. The left lift hoist is removed for a one ton internal cargo capacity.
