Description

Alaric Ward set the parameters of the Dominator as such: “Build me a ’Mech to make the Republic tremble behind their walls, to chase the Falcons from the skies, and to dominate the Inner Sphere under our will.” The new ’Mech was to be highly mobile, heavily armored, and pack enough punch to dissuade faster units from pursuing it. And it had to be a brawler, capable of holding its own in the increasingly common world of BattleMech physical combat. After at least one suicide, and one execution for insubordination, a haggard team of scientists and technicians delivered the first Dominator ahead of schedule and under budget.

The Dominator handily meets all of the qualifications laid down by Khan Ward. Though it is undergunned compared to other Clan heavy ’Mechs, the tradeoff was deemed necessary in order to gain the mobility that allows a Dominator pilot to dictate the terms of battle. Khan Ward was said to be in an ill mood when the final product was presented to him, but upon watching the majestic BattleMech stride from its gantry, he slowly smiled and commented that if the team had done as good a job on performance as they did on presentation, then he would be happy indeed. Test pilot Racine proceeded to ace the live-fire exercises, scoring higher than average hits with the Dominator’s targeting computer and SRMs, and ended the course by taking a knee before her now impressed khan. Many elements of the Dominator were inspired by the War Dog, a ’Mech once produced by Wolf’s Dragoons before the Jihad. That ’Mech featured an unusual arrangement of armor protecting its arm-mounted Gauss rifle, and a rear-firing laser in the head to deter backstabbers. Techs frown at the same unbalanced armor on the Dominator’s arms, but it has yet to cause any problems for a MechWarrior.

Weapons and Equipment

The Dominator was built to focus on more speed and mobility over pure firepower. While it appears undergunned fora heavy mech, the weapons and equipment are perfectly balanced to allow a pilot to engage at any range or situation. It is equipped with an ER PPC in the Right Arm and an ER Large Laser on the Right shoulder to engage at long distances, supported by a Streak SRM 6 (with 2 tons of ammo) and a pair of ER Medium Lasers on the left arm for closer ranges. It also as a ER Small Laser in the back to protect against enemies from the rear. With 10 tons of Composite Alpha-V2 Ferro-Lamellor Armor, it is capable of taking large amounts of damage and continuing to fight.

The mech has a standard walking speed of 54 km/h and is able to run up to 86 km/h max speed (108 km/h w/Supercharger) supported by Five jump jets for added tactical flexibility allowing it move across any battlefield quickly. A Clan Targeting Computer makes the ER PPC and ER Large Laser extremely accurate to the point where skilled pilots can specifically target certain parts of any 'Mech at unbelievable ranges. Each of the 'Mech's 1-ton missile bins are fitted with CASE II, reducing the explosive damage from a critical hit. The Dominator is also equipped with a hand actuator to allow it to carry hand held weapons and to aid it in physical combat. 10 Double Heat Sinks keep the Mech cool through a variety of combat situations.

Alternate Configurations

So far the only changes necessary to the chassis have been slight modifications to prevent the large laser from snapping in physical combat. Even heavily damaged Dominators are usually returned to their factory specs rather than customized. Oftentimes, pilots merely switch out equipment based on need at times such as switching out the Streak SRM 6 with different missile sets or the ER PPC for a single Gauss Rifle with 1 ton SRM ammo dropped for 1 ton Gauss ammo. Some pilots also sometimes add in an Active Probe and an ECM Suite.
