== Description ==
 
The '''''Malak''''' is the lightest in the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[Celestial series]] of [[OmniMech]]s designed for the [[Manei Domini]]. The ''Malak'' features a dazzling array of new construction materials in an attempt to free up as much weight as possible in a fast and reliable package. The 'Mech mounts an [[XL gyro]], a [[small cockpit]], mounted on an [[endo steel]] frame, all protected by six tons of [[light ferro-fibrous]] armor. A [[C3i computer]] allows it to sync with other Manei Domini so equipped. Nine and a half tons of [[pod space]] are left for additional equipment<ref name=TRO3075>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 66</ref>.
 
  
== Weapons and Equipment ==
 
The ''Invictus'' configuration of this [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech features a [[light PPC]], an [[ER medium laser]], and a [[flamer]] that allow it to operate far from supply lines. The [[SRM-2]] is capable of mounting [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno]] munitions, which can make quick work of [[vehicle]]s and [[infantry]]. To protect the 'Mech from ammunition explosions it houses missiles in [[CASE]]-protected storage in the right torso. For close combat it carries a [[retractable blade]].<ref name=TRO3075/>

==Description==
*; Alternate Configuration A (''Dominus'') : The A configuration of this scout 'Mech uses a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s as its main weapons, supported by six [[light machine gun]]s split into two [[Machine Gun Array]]s.

The '''''Malak''''' is the lightest in the [[Word of Blake]]'s new Celestial series of [[OmniMech]]s designed for the [[Manei Domini]]. The ''Malak'', Arabic for "angel," features a dazzling array of new construction materials in an attempt to free up as much weight as possible in a fast and reliable package. The 'Mech is protected with six tons of [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor which weighs les then standard armor. To fre up even more space the 'Mech mounts an [[XL Gyro]], and a [[small cockpit]] in addition to its [[Endo Steel]] frame. A [[C3i Computer]] allows it to sync with other Manei Domini so equipped. Nine and a half tons are left for modular equipment.
  
*; Alternate Configuration B (''Infernus'') : A medium-range configuration, most of the ''Infernus'' configuration's [[pod space]] is taken up by a head-mounted [[snub-nose PPC]], while each arm mounts an [[ER medium laser]], giving the ''Malak'' the ability to cover its flanks. To protect it from enemy electronics, the ''Malak'' B also carries a [[Guardian ECM suite]].<ref name=TRJp52f /> BV (2.0) = 1,047<ref name=TRJp52f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 345</ref>

==Armament==
 +
The "Invictus" variant of this light [['Mech]] features a Light PPC, an ER Medium Laser, and a Flamer that allow it to operate far from supply lines. The SRM-2 is capable of mounting inferno munitions, which can make quick work of vehicles and infantry. To protect the 'Mech from ammunition explosions it mounts [[CASE]] in the right torso.
  
*; Alternate Configuration C (''Comminus'') : The ''Comminus'' configuration is a dedicated scout platform. To perform this work, the ''Malak'' C carries an advanced electronics package that includes a [[Beagle active probe]], [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]], and a [[Guardian ECM suite]]. A [[targeting computer]] guides two [[ER medium laser]]s and a trio of [[ER small laser]]s. A torso-mounted [[B-Pod]] gives this variant the ability to shake off [[battle armor]] troopers, though only once.<ref name=TRJp52f /> BV (2.0) = 979<ref name=TRJp52f /> or 945<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 346</ref>
+
==Alternate Configurations==
 +
Alt Config A (Dominus) - The conficuration of this scout 'Mech uses a pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s as its heavy weapons. Two sets of three [[Light Machine Gun]]s, each linked to a [[Machine Gun Array]], give the 'Mech the capability to devastate conventional [[infantry]], as can the pair of torso-mounted [[Flamer]]s. A single [[ER Small Laser]] rounds out the weapons array. BV (2.0) = 869
  
*; Alternate Configuration D (''Luminos'') : The D configuration is effective at all ranges, with an all-energy loadout that gives it the ability to operate beyond the range of supply lines. Two [[light PPC]]s have the longest range of the ''Luminos''' weapons. This variant also carries a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s, giving it a very small window where its four largest guns overlap optimal ranges and, should the ''Malak'' D find itself inside the minimum range of the PPCs, it can utilize three [[ER small laser]]s.<ref name=TRJp52f /> BV (2.0) = 1,055<ref name=TRJp52f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 347</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration E (''Eminus'') : The ''Malak'' E utilizes experimental technology in the form of a [[Thunderbolt 5]] missile launcher, though it only carries one ton of [[CASE]]-protected ammunition. To support this it mounts a [[light PPC]] and a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRJp52f /> BV (2.0) = 957<ref name=TRJp52f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 348</ref>
 
  
*; Alternate Configuration S (''Caelestis'') : An experimental testbed configuration sighted in use among the Blakist [[Shadow Division]]s in [[3075]], the Caelestis configuration features a [[PPC capacitor]]-enhanced [[ER PPC]] mounted on its right arm, supported by a trio of [[ER small laser]]s.  BV (2.0) = 1,127<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 349</ref>

[[Category:BattleMechs]]
*; ''Malak'' Mi : The custom configuration of [[Opacus Venatori]] member [[Mi Tomitaki]], her [[OmniMech]] was outfitted with a pair of [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Ramtech 5500V]] [[medium variable speed pulse laser]]s, one in each arm, supported by a head-mounted [[ER small laser]]. A [[supercharger]] allowed her to close in an instant to optimal weapons range.  BV (2.0) = 782 <ref name="WB">''Starterbook: Wolf and Blake'', pp. 42, 92.</ref>
