Description
The Lu Wei Bing is Assault Class BattleMech first designed in the 32nd Century by Tao Mechworks for the use in Armed Forces of the Capellan Confederation. Resembling a slightly heavier, Victor, the Lu Wei Bing's weapons layout and physical resemblance echoes 26th Century 'Mech. First produced in 3110, the Lu Wei Bing was produced as replacement production design after Confederation would lose it factories to the Federated Suns during the Victoria War.[3]
Armament and Capacities
The Lu Wei Bing is known for its durability in battle, this is due in part to its 16 tons of Standard Armor and use of reinforced armor around its Cockpit. Constructed with Endo Steel, 4 GM Jetstar JumpJets, and Powered by a 340-rated Strand Light Fusion Engine, giving the 'Mech same speed and tactical flexibility of the older Victor.
The 'Mech main weapon is its Class 20 LB-X Autocannon, which is found in its right arm and is feed by 4 tons of ammunition. This allotment of ammunition gives the 'Mech reasonably duration on the battlefield, while using its crippling assault cannon. Unlike spiritual predecessor, the Lu Wei Bing has more long-range weapons at its disposal in a fight. This includes two left arm mounted Ceres Arms Striker Light Particle Projection Cannons and a single Doombud 5-tubed Multi-Missile Launcher found in left torso. All the 'Mech's munitions are placed in the right torso with CASE II ensuring the six tons worth of ammunition doesn't detonate one another in event of ammo it to one of the bays.
Lastly, the Lu Wei Bing mounts a powerful Angel ECM Suite, giving the 'Mech additional electronic screening from advance weaponry and sensors.[4]
Notes
It should be noted that the Lu Wei Bing also strongly resembles the MechWarrior Online version of the Victor.[5]
The 'Mech was named for the "Green Movement" which overthrow China's corrupt government during the 21st Century.[6]
