Description[edit]
By the 3120s, the Hanseatic League's industrial base had achieved pre-Jihad levels of technology. The governing Merchant Council decided that in recognition of their nation's achievement, an indigenous design should be made. The resulting design, the Surtur, was the first mech fully designed and built within their borders. It performs as a skirmisher and close-quarters melee fighter.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Surtur is a close range attacker, so engineers fitted the design with an XL fusion engine to push the 'Mech to 90 km/h. A supercharger allows for a temporary boost in speed to 120 km/h, but the mech lacks jump jets. The 'Mech's armor protection includes an impressive twelve tons of standard armor. This ensures that the mech can survive high levels of weapons fire while approaching its target.
Firepower includes two SRM-6s with one ton of ammunition between them. Unfortunately, the mech lacks CASE and the ammunition feeds from the center torso, which can be viewed as a severe design flaw. Secondary weapons include seven Flamers, three mounted in each side torso and a single flamer in the left arm. Its signature weapon is a sword mounted in the right arm.[1]
The Surtur boasts twelve double heat sinks, but even these struggle to keep the mech cool if all weapons are fired simultaneously.
Design Quirks[edit]
No Design Quirks have been assigned to the SUR-T1 Surtur.
Notes[edit]
As of this writing, there is no image for the 'Mech other than the silhouette of a WVR-9D Wolverine with sword added.
Tactically, it would appear that the unusual number of Flamers are intended to incapacitate enemy Mechs before they are finished off by SRM fire and sword strikes.
