Description
The Peacekeeper BattleMech was a joined-venture developed in Post-Jihad era by the Republic of the Sphere and the Draconis Combine. First produced in 3086, the design was intended for anti-insurgencies combat as well as garrison duty.
The 'Mech is powered by a GM 380 Rated Extra Light Fusion Engine, which allows the design reach 65 kph. However, in a bid to help increase it speed and flexibility, the design been endowed with TSM and trinity of Jump Jets. For protection, the design's hull is protected by 18 tons of Standard armor and CASE.[2]
Armament
The 'Mechs' host large array of energy weaponry for its hard hitting punch. Mounted its the arms actuators, the Peacekeeper has a Heavy and Extended Ranged Particle Projection Cannon. Found in the left torso, the 'Mech has a Extended Large Laser to assist with range attacks. To aid in dealing with Vehicles and Infantry threats the design has a Plasma Rifle mounted in its right torso with 2 tons of ammunition. In almost after thought, the design also sports a 2-tube Short Range Missile Launcher in right torso as well.
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 fire fight.[3]
Variants
- PKP-1B - The Peacekeeper's production model was still being hashed out by engineers prior it production in 3086. The proposed final design for the production model of the Peacekeeper institute changes to the Peacekeeper's weapons and armor layout. The new model would have the 'Mech SRM Launcher and CASE system dropped from the design. Its Standard Armor would be replaced by 17.5 tons of Light Ferro-Fibrous Armor to help lighten the cramp and heavy machine. Lastly the ER PPC would be upgraded to a Heavy.[4] BV (2.0) = 2,981[5]
