Description[edit]
The Teppō artillery support vehicle is an experimental super heavy combat vehicle that is designed to provide support to frontline combat units of the Draconis Combine. First produced just after the Jihad, this massive vehicle was designed to be a regiment's mobile artillery battery and also provide additional command and repair abilities through its pair of Support Trailers. The Teppō's creation was a result of the hard lessons learned from nearly two decades of fighting the Word of Blake and the Black Dragon Society. Using the Ryuken's Combined-Arms command style as a model, the Teppō and its support trailers would attempt to replicate the elite brigade's command capabilities for other frontline Regiments. Built on Unity at Pesht Motors, the Teppō is noted for its high quality due to each vehicle being hand-built.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Teppō's principal fire support weaponry includes an Ikazuchi Type 2 Sniper Artillery Piece mounted in the vehicle's turret and a pair of Shigunga Arrow IV Missile System mounted in the front of the vehicle. The Vehicle's Sniper piece has three tons of ammunition while the Arrow IV launchers have six, allowing for a wide selection of artillery rounds. A Sperry Browning Machine Gun is mounted in the front and rear, to protect against infantry attacks. The vehicle sports three Yori Flyswatter Anti-Missile Systems, one in the front and one on each side of the Teppō. It is protected with 20 tons of New Samarkand Royal Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor and CASE. The Teppō's other features include 1 ton worth of Communication Equipment, a Guardian ECM Suite, and a 4-ton Infantry Compartment for the security detachment.[1]
The vehicle features a 280-rated fuel cell engine, which allows it to move 21 km/h while towing.[1]
Support Trailers[edit]
The Teppō's two 75-ton Advanced tech wheeled trailers include the Tenmaku (Mobile Headquarters Trailer) and its Bokkusu (Cargo & Repair Facility).[1]
Tenmaku[edit]
The Tenmaku is the Teppō's Command Trailer featuring its own small fusion reactor as an independent power source. The Tenmaku's equipment includes 10 tons worth of Communication Equipment, a pair of C3 master computer, a Guardian ECM suite, 5 tons worth of Mission Specific Equipment, a 10-ton Infantry Compartment capability, and a single Trailer Hitch mounted in the front. The vehicle is armed with a pair of medium lasers and a pair of Light Machine Guns in its turret. Additionally, it has three Anti-Missile Systems found in the turret and on each side. The trailer is protected by 15 tons of heavy Ferro-fibrous armor with CASE protection for its ammunition bins. BV (2.0)=881[1]
Bokkusu[edit]
The Bokkusu trailer serves as both a mobile repair base and cargo hauler for the Teppō's users. It is unpowered and it is protected by 12 tons of heavy ferro-fibrous armor and CASE. The trailer's main feature is its Mobile Field Base, which is a self-contained repair gantry providing a comprehensive repair capability for a regiment's BattleMechs and Vehicles. The Bokkusu's 18-ton cargo capacity allows for additional spare parts and other general repair supplies to be moved from place to place. The trailer's only defenses are four anti-missile systems on all four sides of the trailer. Other features of the Bokkusu include a 4-ton Infantry Compartment, a front-mounted Lift hoist, and a pair of Trailer Hitches to allow for additional trailers to be towed. BV (2.0) = 651[1]
Notes[edit]
- The Teppō was made using the rules for super-heavy vehicles from Strategic Operations and TechManual. Its trailer counterparts were built with rules found in the "Combat Vehicle" section of the TechManual.[3]
- As of this writing, Teppō and its support trailers have no record sheets. Originally they were to appear in Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge, where the Teppō is listed in the table of content. However, the record sheets themselves were not added to the PDF release of the product.[4]
