==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Lich''''' drone assault 'Mech was designed by the [[Word of Blake]] but wasn't fielded until the [[Republic of the Sphere]] enacted their [[Fortress Protocols]]. As a drone, the ''Lich'' is intended to provide direct fire support for Republic units without risking soldiers. The [[Endo-Composite]] skeleton is protected by seventeen tons of [[standard armor]], allowing the ''Lich'' to remain in a fight after taking a massive amount of damage. The fact that the ''Lich'' uses a [[Small Cockpit]] allows more room in the head, which offers its own benefits.<ref name=pg12/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
As a drone the ''Lich'' is vulnerable to electronic warfare systems. To prevent problems an [[Angel ECM Suite]] is installed in the head. Room for this system was found by using a Small Cockpit. The two side torsos each mount a single [[Light Gauss Rifle]] and a [[Clan]]-spec [[ER Large Laser]]. These weapons have similar firing ranges, and can hit targets at an impressive range. The Light Gauss Rifles only have a single ton of ammunition each, however, which can limit their usefulness.<ref name=pg12/>

Protecting against Gauss Rifle explosions are two torso-mounted [[CASE II]] systems. To allow the ''Lich'' to hang in the fight even after sustaining damage, Clan-built [[HarJel|Harjel II]] repair systems are installed in the three torso locations. These systems effectively "regenerate" small amounts of armor damage.<ref name=pg12/>

There are no known ''Lich'' variants, but weapons swaps should be fairly straightforward thanks to a ''[[Mercury (BattleMech)|Mercury]]''-style modular weapons mounting system.<ref name=pg12/>
