Description

The Regent is the flagship design of the ilKhanate's Project Reynard, benefiting from masterstrokes of legal and commercial savvy. After the Hauptmann was shelved due to the military reduction program, Coventry Metal Works had been looking to revive the design but encountered supply issues with existing ClanTech manufacturers. Merchant Bilius learned of these difficulties through the Chatterweb and coordinated the introductions and legal wranglings to allow CMW and Technicron Manufacturing to renew productions. After the base OmniMech chassis are completed they're sent to ilKhanate facilities to be armed with the required omnipods. The efficiency of ClanTech allowed for a lighter (and cheaper) chassis compared to the Hauptman.[1]

Weapons and Equipment

The primary configuration carries a varied and powerful arsenal. For long range combat, the Regent carries three ER Large Lasers as its primary long range weapons. These give the Regent Prime a good long range damage capability. For close combat, the 'Mech has an LB-X Autocannon/20 for devastating close range firepower backed up by two Medium Pulse Lasers, a Micro Pulse Laser for infantry defense, and a Streak SRM-4 launchers. Finally, to protect the 'Mech against ammunition explosions, the Regent Prime has CASE II protecting all ammunition.[1]
