Description
The Victor was built in 2510 under contract to the Star League as a support 'Mech. The Victor approaches the concept of support in an unorthodox way. The Victor is built to be highly mobile with a ground speed of only 64.8 km/h this is achieved through the use of four jump jets, which allow the Victor to jump up to one hundred and twenty meters. This allows the Victor to support friendly units by jumping directly into the fray and bringing its deadly close range arsenal to bear. One sacrifice made for the Victor's superb mobility is the 'Mech's light armor of only eleven and a half tons of armor.
Armament
The Victor is armed with a Pontiac 100 Autocannon/20 as its primary weapon. This is backed up by two Sorenstein V Medium Lasers and finally a Holly SRM-4. The Autocannon/20 alone is capable of downing most light 'Mechs in a single shot and stripping off the armor of any location on most heavier 'Mechs. The Medium Lasers and the SRM-4 allow the Victor to take advantage of any weak points in the enemy's armor.
Variants
- VTR-9A - An early variant of the Victor the 9A carries an additional Machine Gun and two additional Flamers. To add these three tons of armor was removed from the 'Mech. The additional weapons give the Victor very capable anti-infantry capabilities but with the thinner armor the Victor is more susceptible to being critically damaged by another 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 971, BV (2.0) = 1,227
- VTR-9A1 - A modification of the 9A model the 9A1 adds only two Machine Guns to the 'Mech for anti infantry use. The 'Mech has ten tons of armor making it better protected then the 9A Model and the two Machine Guns allow the 'Mech to have excellent anti infantry combat capabilities. BV (1.0) = 1,110, BV (2.0) = 1,294
- VTR-9K - An upgrade using Star League technology the 9K replaces the Autocannon/20 with a Gauss Rifle which can do serious damage at much farther ranges. The 'Mech also carries two Medium Pulse Lasers and a SRM-4 launcher for close combat. In order to make these changes possible the 9K is built on an Endo Steel chassis. With the weight saved the 'Mech also carries an additional ton of armor. BV (1.0) = 1,634, BV (2.0) = 1,717
- VTR-9S - The 9S Victor removes a ton of armor from the 'Mech and uses the saved weight to upgrade the SRM-4 launcher to an SRM-6 launcher. This simple upgrade makes the Victor more effective at close ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,140, BV (2.0) = 1,352
- VTR-C - Based on the 9K variant the VTR-C was built to incorporate a c3 slave unit allowing the 'Mech to work as part of a c3 lance. In order to do this a heat sink was removed. Otherwise this variant of the Victor is identical to the 9K model. BV (1.0) = 1,601, BV (2.0) = 1,717
- VTR-10D - A recent variant of the Victor the 10D is an excellent close combat 'Mech. The 10D variant has a powerful Ultra Autocannon/20 as its primary weapon. This is supported by two ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-4 to finish off a damaged target. The 10D is also capable of jumping up to one hundered and twenty meter makign it an excellent urban combat machine. BV (1.0) = 1,748, BV (2.0) = 1,894
- VTR-10L - The 10L is armed with a Gauss Rifle as its primary long ranged weapon. This is backed up by three ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-6 launcher for close combat. The 'Mech carries an ECM Suite which is part of its Stealth Armor system which allows it to reduce its radard signature and makes the 'Mech harder to target , especially at long range, and also four jump jets that allow the 'Mech to seize the high ground making this varaint of the Victor an excellent sniper. BV (1.0) = 1,943, BV (2.0) = 2,320
