Description[edit]
First encountered in late 3085, the Persepolis is a second-line Clan aerospace fighter developed by Clan Jade Falcon. The craft was first developed unknown to the military intelligence agencies of the Inner Sphere, until a pirate band encountered it while attempting to raid Sudeten. The Persepolis was the first product of the Falcons' new orbital space factory, Falcon's Roost Orbital Assembly Plant and the powerful fighter has since seen deployment to nearly all of Clan Jade Falcon's second and front-line Galaxies, with the exception of its elite formations, which have been given the allotment of the OmniFighters in the Clan's touman.[5]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Persepolis is optimized for stand-off engagements using its pairs of Series 7K ER large lasers and its advanced tech Aesalon Streak LRM-20s. Each of the launchers is supplied with two tons of ammunition, while its Streak technology prevents wasted shots. In close range, Tiercel improved heavy medium lasers and Harpa heavy small lasers add to Persepolis's firepower to finish off an opponent. However, flaws in the Falcons' manufacturing process sometimes caused these heavy lasers to explode.
The fighter is not considered the fastest of its class, however it somewhat makes up for its lack of speed by being well armored, with nine tons of Compound Gamma ferro-aluminum armor.[6]
Variants[edit]
- Persepolis 2
- Introduced in 3134 this variant of the Persepolis carries two ER large lasers and two improved heavy medium lasers mounted in the nose, while two aft-mounted improved heavy small lasers provide rear defense; these weapons are tied into a targeting computer. Each wing carries a single LRM-20 with Artemis V FCS. The armor was replaced by ferro-lamellor armor, which greatly reduces damage from enemy weaponry. BV (2.0) = 2,989[7][8]
Design Quirks[edit]
The Persepolis and its variant are subject to the following Design Quirks:
