Description
Following the success of the Tarantula BattleMech, Corean Enterprises (MacAdams-Suharno) felt that they could produce a successful quad design to replace the aging Goliath BattleMechs in many successor state armies. In early 3059, the Sirocco had reached the point of field testing. The Sirocco is built on a Corean IX chassis that carries a Pitban 285 fusion engine that gives the Sirocco a top speed of 54.0 km/h. The Sirocco carries nineteen and a half tons of Starshield armor, giving it an impressive amount of protection from enemy fire. To dissipate the waste heat from the 'Mechs heavy arsenal, the Sirocco carries thirteen double heat sinks.
Armament
The Sirocco carries as its primary weapons a pair of Imperator Automatic Ultra Autocannon/10s that are capable of firing at twice the standard rate of fire as a standard autocannon of the same class. The two Ultra Autocannons provide the 'Mech with a great deal of long range firepower. For close combat, the Sirocco carries six Diverse Optics Type ER Medium Lasers, two of which are rear mounted, allowing the Sirocco to defend itself from any angle in close combat. To dissuade knee capping attacks made by enemy sappers, the Sirocco has two Ma Mien Anti-Personnel Pods. Finally, to disrupt enemy electronic warfare systems, the 'Mech carries a Guardian ECM Suite.
Variants
- SRC-5C - The 5C variant of the Sirocco is more specialized in both long and short range combat. For long range combat, the Sirocco has two Light Gauss Rifles which allow the 'Mech to strike an enemy at out to seven hundred and fifty meters. The 5C variant of the Sirocco also has a powerful close range arsenal if forced to defend itself. The 'Mech has four ER Medium Lasers, two mounted in the front and two in the rear, as well as a Medium Pulse Laser. Also, for close combat, the 5C variant has two SRM-4 missile launchers to seek out weak points in an enemy's armor, and is even more well defended against enemy sappers with four Anti-Personnel Pods. Finally, the 'Mech retains the ECM Suite to defend itself from electronic warfare systems. BV (1.0) = 1,884
