==Description==
The '''''Peacekeeper''''' [[BattleMech]] was a joint venture developed in the [[Jihad|Post-Jihad]] era by the [[Republic of the Sphere]] and the [[Draconis Combine]]. First produced in [[3086]], the design was intended for anti-insurgency combat as well as garrison duty.<ref name="TRO:3085p104+"/>

The 'Mech is powered by a [[GM 380]] Rated [[XL engine|Extra Light Fusion Engine]], which allows the design to reach 65 km/h. However, in a bid to help increase its speed and flexibility, the design has been endowed with [[Triple Strength Myomer]] and three [[Jump Jets]]. For protection, the design's hull is protected by 18 tons of [[standard armor]] and [[CASE]].<ref name="TRO:3085p104+"/>
 
 
 
== Weapons and Equipment ==
 
The 'Mech hosts a large array of energy weaponry for its hard hitting punch. Mounted in the arms, the ''Peacekeeper'' has a [[Lord's Light 3]] [[Heavy PPC]] and a [[Lord's Light 2]] [[Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon]].  In the left torso, the 'Mech has an [[Victory Nickel Alloy]] [[Extended Range Large Laser]] to assist with long-range attacks.  To aid in dealing with vehicle and infantry threats the design has a [[Victory Blast Furnace]] [[Plasma Rifle]] mounted in its right torso with 2 tons of ammunition.  As a near afterthought, the design also sports a [[Guided Technologies]] [[SRM-2|2-tube Short Range Missile]] Launcher in right torso as well.<ref name="TRO:3085p104+"/>
 
 
 
The 'Mech is fitted out with 15 [[Double Heat Sinks]] to handle the significant heat load its weapons and propulsion system can generate during a firefight.<ref name="TRO:3085p104+"/>

*; PKP-2K : This ''Peacekeeper'' variant was introduced in [[Introduction Year::3116]].<ref name="MUL3"/> The SRM-2 and ER Large Laser were replaced by a [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]] and a [[C3 Emergency Master]] computer. The other major change is the use of [[Anti-Penetrative Ablation Armor]] instead of [[Ferro-fibrous]] or standard plate.
