History[edit]
Leutnant Jaochim von Heldenberg (see Notes below) was a MechWarrior who piloted his Zeus, Dortmund, in the first live-fire test of Project Icicle, a Lyran Commonwealth technology project. The live-fire test failed spectacularly, killing all nearby personnel including Von Heldenberg.
It is suspected that a technician made a mistake under fire and failed to correctly attach a coolant hose that would have replenished coolant from a support vehicle. When the Icicle system flushed all coolant from the 'Mech, it thus failed to reacquire new coolant and the 'Mech reached above-critical heat levels, which led to an ammunition explosion.[1]
BattleMech[edit]
He piloted a Zeus named Dortmund, outfitted with half the normal complement of heat sinks to facilitate testing.[1]
Notes[edit]
- The first name ("Jaochim") is stated only once in the report about the incident. It may be a misspelling of the German name "Joachim". (There are some other spelling errors in the document, too.)
