Description
The Striker was originally designed by the SLDF high command in 2571 and was one of the most common 'Mechs in service in the SLDF. The Striker is built using rugged off the shelf technologies that allow it to stand up to a great deal of punishment. The Striker has a top speed of 64.8 km/h that is provided by a Pitban 320 Fusion engine. For protection the Striker carries thirteen and a half tons of armor which is an average amount of protection for a 'Mech of the Strikers size. Finally to dissipate the heat from its arsenal the Striker has fifteen heat sinks. In spite of the 'Mechs dependability the Striker eventually found itself serving in militia units with the highest concentration ending up on the rimward edge of the Terran Hegemony.
Armament
The Striker has an arsenal that is capable of engaging an enemy at a variety of ranges. The primary long-range weapons on the Striker are a HellStar PPC and a Pontiac Light Autocannon/5. These are backed up by a Defiance B3L Large Laser that is capable of engaging enemies at medium to short ranges and finally for close range defense the Striker has three Hellion-b II Medium Lasers.
Variants
- STC-2D - The 2D varaint of the Striker is a very basic upgrade of the design. the PPC has been upgraded to an ER PPC, the three Medium Lasers have been replaced with a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers and the 'Mech has had three heat sinks removed. The remaining heat sinks have been upgraded to double heat sinks. The remaining available space has been used to add two tons of armor to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,329
