Description
The Malak is the lightest in the Word of Blake's new Celestial series of OmniMechs 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 less than standard armor. To free 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[4].
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[4].
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A (Dominus) - The A configuration of this scout 'Mech uses a pair of ER Medium Lasers as its heavy weapons. Two sets of three Light Machine Guns, each linked to a Machine Gun Array, give the 'Mech the capability to devastate conventional infantry, as can the pair of torso-mounted Flamers. A single ER Small Laser rounds out the weapons array. BV (2.0) = 794[5], 823[6]
- Alt. Config. B (Infernus) - A medium-range saber-fighter, most of the Infernus variant's pod space is taken up by a head-mounted Snub-Nose PPC. 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. BV (2.0) = 1,047[5][7]
- Alt. Config. C (Comminus) - The Comminus variant is a dedicated scout platform. To perform this work, the Malak C carries an advanced electronics package that includes a Beagle Active Probe, TAG, and a Guardian ECM Suite. A Targeting Computer guides two ER Medium Lasers and a trio of ER Smalls. A single, torso-mounted B-Pod gives this variant the ability to shake off battle armor troopers, though only once. BV (2.0) = 979[5], 945[8]
- Alt. Config. 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 PPCs have the longest range of the Luminos' weapons. This variant also carries a pair of ER Medium Lasers, giving it a very small window where its four largest guns overlap optimal ranges. Should the Malak D find itself inside the minimum range of the PPCs, it can utilize three ER Small Lasers. BV (2.0) = 1,055[5][9]
- Alt. Config. 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 this it can add a Light PPC and a pair of ER Medium Lasers. BV (2.0) = 957[5][10]
Non-Standard Configurations
- Malak Mi - The custom config of Opacus Venatori member Mi Tomitaki, her OmniMech is outfitted with a pair of experimental Ramtech 5500V Medium Variable Speed Pulse Lasers, one in each arm, supported by a head-mounted ER Small Laser. A Supercharger allows her to close in an instant to optimal weapons range. BV (2.0) = 782 [11]
- Malak Caelestis - An experimental testbed configuration sighted in use among the Blakist Shadow Divisions in 3075, the Caelestis config features a PPC Capacitor enhanced ER PPC mounted on its right arm, supported by a trio of ER Small Lasers. BV (2.0) = 1,254 [12]
