Description
A Solaris VII BattleMech, the Onslaught was originally designed as a technology testing platform. Approximately one hundred of these 'Mechs were built. A capable heavy BattleMech, the original Onslaughts most noticeable feature was its high speed. Its cruising speed of 58 km/h was more commonly seen on medium 'Mechs. The Onslaught's limited numbers and ease of maintenance has led to a situation where many damaged Onsloughts are used as the basis for a FrankenMech. Solaris Arms offers an upgrade package for owners of the original Onslaught design which can bring it up to the SA-OS2 standard.[2]
Armament
The Onslaught is armed with an experimental SA Light AC/5 and an experimental SA Large X-Pulse Laser as its main armaments. This is backed up by six Voelkers 200 Machine Guns and two SureShot Mk VIa SRM-6 launchers.
Variants
- SA-OS1 - This is the original version of the Onslaught. It was protected by only 12 tons of armor and was armed with an Ultra AC/5 in place of the SA-OS2's Light AC/5 and carried an ER Large Laser in place of the Large X-Pulse Laser. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,562[3]
- SA-OS3 - This variant replaces the SA-OS1's ER Large Laser with an Medium X-Pulse Laser as well as the Ultra AC/5 with an Ultra AC/10. It also replaces the standard armor with Ferro-Fibrous and changes the chassis with a Composite Chassis. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,715[4]
