Description

The Summoner is a highly mobile heavy OmniMech that is commonly used by Clan Jade Falcon in a wide variety of roles and earned the code name Thor for its powerful and simple arsenal. The Summoner is powered by a lightweight 350 XL engine that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h. The Summoners mobility is enhanced with five jump jets that allow it to jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. The Summoner has fourteen double heat sinks which are capable of handling the heat produced in most of the 'Mechs configurations with ease. To protect it from damage the Summoner carries nine and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. The Summoners balanced mix of speed, mobility, armor, and firepower make it a highly effective and reliable OmniMech.

Armament

In its primary configuration the Summoner has a basic yet effective arsenal. The primary direct fire weapon is an ER PPC backed up by an LB 10-X Autocannon that can fire both standard and cluster ammunition. For fire support and bombardment the Summoner has an [[LRM-15] launcher.

Alternate Configurations

  • Alt. Config. A - For long range combat the Summoner A has a powerful Gauss Rifle which is supported by a Large Pulse Laser for intermediate ranges and a SRM-6 launcher for close combat. BV (1.0) = 2,119
  • Alt. Config. B - A missile bombardment configuration the B configuration carries a pair of LRM-20 launchers for long range engagements. For close combat the Summoner B has two SRM-4 launchers. A Narc Missile Beacon allows the Summoner to designate targets for missile fire from other friendly units. The Summoner B has further protection through the use of an Anti-Missile System which gives it increased protection from missile bombardment attacks. BV (1.0) = 2,175
  • Alt. Config. C - A close range brawler in this configuration the Summoner C is armed with a single ER Large Laser for long range sniping at enemy targets but truly comes into its own at close range. The 'Mech relies on a powerful Ultra Autocannon/20 for quick kill capabilities at close ranges. This is backed up by a highly accurate Streak SRM-6 launcher to seek out weak poiints in an enemy's armor and an ER Small Laser. BV (1.0) = 2,168
  • Alt. Config. D - A multi-role configuration of the Summoner the D configuration is armed with a apir of ER Large Lasers for long range combat. These are backed up by a pair of ER Medium Lasers for short range combat. All of these lasers are linked to an advanced Targeting Computer making the 'Mech highly accurate. For anti-infantry use the 'Mech has a pair of Machine Guns and a paior of Anti-Missile Systems give the 'Mech protection from misile carrying 'Mechs and vehicles. BV (1.0) = 2,664
  • Alt. Config. E - Configured to take advantage of the new Advanced Tactical Missile system the Summoner E carries an ER PPC for long range sniping capabilities. This is backed up by an ATM-6 launcher and an ATM-12 launcher which are bot capable of firing a variety of specialized missiles that are configured for long, medium and short range combat making this configuration deadly at any range. BV (1.0) = 2,518
  • Alt. Config. H - Similar in concept to the D configuration the Summoner H carries two Heavy Large Lasers as its primary weapons for incredibly powerful hitting power backed up by two ER Medium Lasers. These are all linked to an advanced Targeting Computer for greater accuracy. This configuration also carries a single Anti-Missile system for increased protection. BV (1.0) = 2,394

Non Standard Configurations

  • Alt. Config. M - The preferred configuration of Nicolai Malthus the M configuration is similar to the primary configuration in that it has an ER PPC as its primary weapon backed up by an LB 10-X Autocannon. Where it deviates is that for close combat the M configuration of the Summoner has a Streak SRM 6 and ER Small Laser for close combat. BV (1.0) = 2,254
