| − | + | Discovered adrift in space long with the '''Chariot''', which investigations later showed it to be a ''[[Duat]]''-class Dropship. In truth, this BattleMech is an experimental prototype from an unknown source based upon elements from the ''[[Conjurer (Hellhound)]]'' clan battlemech which in truth could be considered the clan's equivalent of the ''Wolverine IIC'' model as well as the SLDF's ''[[War Dog]]''. Engineers called it an excellence in engineering and an innovative high-technology platform combining and upgrading the best parts of its forefathers and gave it the designation '''''DO-M-X8R Dominion'''''. | |
| − | The | + | The Mech was shown to be highly mobile, heavily armored, and pack enough punch to dissuade faster units from pursuing it. And it was a brawler, capable of holding its own in the increasingly common world of BattleMech physical combat. Though it is under-gunned compared to other Clan heavy Mechs, the trade-off was deemed necessary in order to gain the mobility that allows a ''Dominion'' pilot to dictate the terms of battle. Much like its forefather, it is a fast strike BattleMech, which could take part in missions requiring speed and firepower as well as survivability. This along with a highly advanced electronics package and mobility and responsiveness that allows it to keep up with most lighter medium Mechs, the ''Dominion'' can also used for command purposes when working with other units. Much like the ''Shadowhawk'', the ''Dominion'' is also included with an highly advanced life support system that can keep a pilot comfortable up to twice as long as similar systems in other Mechs. |
==Weapons and Equipment== | ==Weapons and Equipment== | ||
| − | The | + | The Dominion was built to focus on more speed and mobility over pure firepower. While it appears under-gunned for a heavy mech, the weapons and equipment are perfectly balanced to allow a pilot to engage at any range or situation allowing the Mech to even fight and win above its weight class. 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 Pulse Laser]]s on the left arm for closer ranges. It also has a [[ER Small Pulse Laser]] in the back to protect against enemies from the rear. With 10 tons of Composite Alpha-V2 [[Ferro-Lamellor]] Armor constructed on an [[Endo Steel]] chassis, it is capable of taking large amounts of damage and continuing to fight. |
| − | The | + | 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 Dominion 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. |
| − | == | + | ==Variants== |
| − | + | As a one of a kind prototype, the ''Dominion'' has no other special variants. However, it does show some elements of [[Omnimech]] designs in that it can more easily swtich out certain equipments, primarily weapons. Most common changes are based around need and biome limits 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 prototype equivalent of the Combine's [[Angel ECM Suite]]. | |

| + | ==Related BattleMechs== | ||
| + | * ''[[Wolverine]]'' - The ''Wolverine'' was one of the mechs taken by the SLDF Exodus fleet. Like other SLDF designs, the mech would later become upgraded with clan-technology and be given the [[IIC]] designation. However, the events of the Wolverine Annihilation would cause the clans to abandon the ''Wolverine IIC'' name, as it would represent the dishonorable clan. Instead the clans would rename the design as the ''Conjurer'' to distance itself from the [[Clan Wolverine|Not-Named-Clan]]. Therefore, the ''Conjurer'' is the ''Wolverine IIC'' in spirit if not in name. | ||
| + | * ''Conjurer'' - The WVR-7H ''Wolverine II'' served as the basic inspiration for a [[IIC]]-style redesign of the ''Wolverine'' that became known as the ''[[Conjurer (Hellhound)]]''. The [[Clans]] could never name a [[BattleMech]] after the [[Not-Named Clan]] and elected to rename the redesigned 'Mech that nevertheless is nothing but a reworked ''Wolverine'' concept, a ''Wolverine IIC'' in all but name. [[ComStar]] even reported the ''Conjurer'' as ''Wolverine-IIC'' in early sightings, presumably based on assumptions drawn from the obvious nature of the 'Mech. | ||
| + | * ''War Dog'' - The ''War Dog'' is in general a close combat unit compared to most other SLDF unit which were more generalist designs (i.e. Orion, Battlemaster, Thunderbolt, and Spartan). The mech is a capable duelist, as evidenced by its popularity the Solaris arenas, but nevertheless works best as leading a lance. It can shoot its way in with the Gauss Rifle, and the -03FC can decently spar at range with its HGR / ERPPC combo, but both want to leap into the middle of the fray with heavy armor that can survive shots Gauss shots as well. | ||
