Description

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 the Conjurer (Hellhound) clan battlemech which in truth could be considered the clan's equivalent of the Wolverine IIC model. Unlike its forefathers, this is a heavy upgrade of the Wolverine that the finder designated as the WKR-X1 Wolverine X. Engineers called it an excellence in engineering and an innovative high-technology platform.

The 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. Though it is undergunned compared to other Clan heavy Mechs, the tradeoff was deemed necessary in order to gain the mobility that allows a Wolverine X 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 respnosiveness that allows it to keep up with most lighter medium Mechs, the Wolverine X can also used for command purposes when working with other units. Much like the Shadowhawk, the X 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

The Wolverine X was built to focus on more speed and mobility over pure firepower. While it appears undergunned 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 a dual 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 Lasers 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.

It uses a Consolidated 350 XL fusion engine to achieve speeds up to 105 km/h boosted to 125 km/h with a MASC, along with increased jumping capacity that enable it to move up to 210 meters a jump with a BMP Mk. XXI jump jet system for added tactical flexibility allowing it move across any battlefield quickly. A special prototype 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 Wolverine X is also equipped with hand actuators 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 Wolverine X 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 limites 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 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.

Notable Pilots

• Hadrian Shepard, the commander of the former Markham's Marauders and direct descendant of Godric Calderon and Angelina Karosas.

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.
