Overview:  Clan Ghost Bear always believed that their heaviest native OmniMech design--the Executioner--could be improved upon.  In fact, many of the supposedly "fixed" components within the design were installed in such a manner to facilitate their removal . . . something no other OmniMech in Clan service (to date) could claim!

When the Quicksilver Trials began, the Bear Khan (Bjorn Jorgensson) with the full support of his saKhan (Aletha Kabrinski) made upgrading the Executioner a top priority.  However, with plans already underway for a move to the Inner Sphere, plus new production designs in the works already intended for Project Quicksilver, the Bears found themselves hard pressed to devote the resources necessary to overhaul and upgrade the aging design.

Help came from the most unlikely of sources, however.  Former Khan--now Master of Instruction--Nikolai Djerassi of Clan Goliath Scorpion stepped in and offered the assistance of his Clan in the redesign and overhaul of the Executioner OmniMech.  With nearly a third of his Clan's Assault-weight OmniMechs being the Executioner, Djerassi had a significant interest in seeing this project succeed.

The Bears, however, were leery at the prospect of becoming entangled in the affairs of another Clan . . . and even more so were concerned with the price of what the Scorpion offered.  But Djerassi demanded no price.  He offered the aid of Clan Goliath Scorpion in, to quote the Khan as he met in person with Jorgensson and Kabrinski, ". . . the name of our martial and societal friendship as trothkin among the Clans of Nicolas Kerensky."

This pledge of support--without the demand of any (immediate) payment--swayed the Bear Khans into agreement.  While Khan Ariel Suvorov was furious at Djerassi over his promise to commit Scorpion resources for little to no return, he chided her in an open gathering of the Scorpion Council of the Blood Named.

"Nothing in return, my Khan?  Nothing?  Friendship with the Ghost Bears, a Clan that has never forsaken those they regard as valuable allies is--in your mind--nothing?  A third of our Assault weight OmniMech designs consist of Executioners, as you well know.  Aiding the Bears not only puts them honor bound in our debt, but gives us access--without combat!--to new and more effective configurations for this war-machine.  I--for one--do not call either of these results to be nothing."

And the Scorpion Blood-named agreed.  So despite the wishes of their Khan, the Scorpions upheld their end of the bargain.  Thus it was that Scorpion Scientists and Warriors, in conjunction and cooperation with their Bear counterparts unveiled a new and far deadlier Executioner just six months later.

Capabilities:  In addition to designing new configurations, the Bear and Scorpion Scientists and Warriors worked to develop the most efficient means of removing the once-fixed jump jets and the single double-strength fitted outside of the engine core.

Thanks to the work of Chief Designer Matu (Gauss) a half-century earlier, this effort was quickly accomplished giving the new Executioner fifteen fixed DHS, along with the MASC system that allowed for running speeds of up to 86.4 kilometers per hour.  While the tactical loss of the jump jets was viewed as a liability by many Clan Warriors (including some Bear and Scorpion Warriors!), the design teams insisted that if jump jets were deemed necessary, a configuration could simply mount them in pods. 

As the final reworking of the Executioner boasted a pod-space of 35.5 tons (nine tons more than the original design of 3001!), the detractors began to withdraw their objections.

Configurations: The new Prime configuration resembled--somewhat--the original design concept, but would prove far more effective on the modern battlefield.  The left arm Gauss Rifle was retained, but a third ton of ammunition was added (for a total of 24 shots).  In a similar fashion, the twin ER Large Lasers of the right arm were kept, along with the lower arm and hand actuators that had proven useful over the previous half-century.  But the twin Machine-guns (and their ton of ammunition!) was removed.  Four Small Pulse Lasers (two each in the right and left torsos) were fitted instead, providing the same Anti-Personnel capabilities at twice the effective range.  To supplement the weapons package, the majority of the remaining tonnage was used to fit an LRM-15 launcher with Artemis IV Fire Control Systems and three tons of ammunition (for 24 missile salvos) to the right torso.  An additional DHS was added (for a total of sixteen) which made the new Executioner Prime heat neutral at all but point-blank range.  In close, when the quad Small Pulse Lasers are used in conjunction with the remaining weapons, a sizable heat spike is produced, but the design team believed that this was acceptable in the light of the improved damage output and combat endurance.

Configuration A also kept the same pattern of weaponry as the original design.  The main guns are a trio of Large Pulse Lasers (left arm, right torso, and left torso), supported by four Medium Pulse Lasers (two in the right arm, one each in the right and left torso).  A Flamer (right arm) replaces the twin Machine-Guns and their one-ton ammunition bin.  Nine additional DHS (for a total of 24) have also been added to the design, allowing the new Executioner A to remain heat neutral on a run while using an Alpha Strike of all weapons save the Flamer.  Terrifyingly accurate, this configuration proved to be exceptionally effective in combat.

Configuration B removes the Class 20 Ultra Autocannon from the design, but retains the ER PPC (left arm), ER Medium Laser (right arm), and Anti-Missile System and one-ton ammunition (right torso).  A second ER Medium Laser (right arm) has been added.  Two Ultra Autocannon-10s have been installed (right torso and left torso), each fed by a two-ton ammunition magazine.  Two additional DHS (for a total of 17) have been fitted to the configuration as well.  This makes the design heat-neutral on a running Alpha Strike with both UAC-10s firing a single burst.  Excess overheat production is moderate when using the Ultra Autocannons in double-tap mode.  Not only has overall damage increased, but the effective range has expanded by nearly a third for the autocannon of this configuration.

The Executioner C replaces the old UAC-20 Autocannon with an LB-20X Autocannon (left arm) fed by a four ton ammunition magazine (for 20 shots).  This big gun is supported by an ER PPC (right torso), an LRM-15 launcher with Artemis IV FCS (right arm) fed by three tons of ammunition (for 24 missile salvos), and an ER Medium Laser (right arm).  All energy and ballistic weaponry are tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer in the right torso.  One additional DHS has been fitted (for a total of 16) and the configuration is heat-neutral on a walk, generating a minimal amount of excess overheat on a running Alpha Strike.

Configuration D adds four Jump Jets (two each right leg and left leg) for a maximum jumping distance of 120 meters.  The only long-ranged weapon is a Large Pulse Laser in the left arm.  This is supported by two Medium Pulse Lasers and a Flamer in the right arm (once again, with lower arm and hand actuators).  Four Streak SRM-6 packs have also been mounted (two each in the right torso and left torso) fed by four tons of ammunition (for a total of 60 missile flights).  With only sixteen DHS fitted to the configuration, the Executioner D does run quite hot . . . if all four Streak packs lock onto a target, the Warrior jumps, and the Flamer is used.  Otherwise, heat management is quite simple on this war-machine.

Configuration E is a Goliath Scorpion concept that was tweaked by Ghost Bear Warriors and Scientists.  The basic design called for three ER PPCs (left arm, left torso, and right torso), all tied into a four ton Targeting Computer (right torso).  A Medium Pulse Laser (left arm) provides additional offensive firepower, while an Anti-Missile System with one ton of ammunition (left torso) adds to the defensive protection.  Twenty-five DHS are fitted to the design, eliminating all but movement heat on a running Alpha Strike.

Configuration F (also known as the Aletha Configuration after saKhan Aletha Kabrinski who insisted on its inclusion) is based largely on the old second-line Grizzly BattleMech used extensively by Clan Ghost Bear.  The main gun is a Gauss Rifle (left arm) fed by three tons of ammunition, supported at long range by an LRM-10 launcher with Artemis IV FCS (right torso) and two tons of ammunition (24 missile flights).  Secondary weapons consist of an ER Large Laser (right arm), an ER Medium Laser (right arm), and a Medium Pulse Laser (left torso). With only the base fixed fifteen DHS fitted to the configuration, the design seems to lack oomph.  Until, that is, one includes the four jump jets that the saKhan pushed heavily for (two each in the right and left leg).  Perfectly heat neutral on a jumping Alpha Strike, the saKhan considers this configuration an excellent homage to a long-suffering and much beloved line trooper of the Ghost Bear Touman.

Finally, there is Configuration G.  Also mounting Jump Jets, the Executioner G is designed for urban combat operations and forgoes any attempt at long-range combat.  The design mounts eight Medium Pulse Lasers (two each in the right torso, right arm, left torso, and left arm), supported by a Small Pulse Laser (right torso), and an Anti-Missile System (left torso) with one ton of ammunition.  An Active Probe in the right torso helps identify and target hostile units in built-up areas, while a four-ton Targeting Computer in the right torso makes this lethal configuration extraordinarily accurate.  Nineteen DHS alleviates all but a minimal amount of excess overheat.  Both arms are fully outfitted with lower arm and hand actuators.

A very nice start masterarminas!

Actually Abele any version will qualify including those with Jump Jets or the 16th Double Heat Sink. Canon for example will still be the baseline as the contest is judged.

Hey does anybody know who did the Mech of the Week Article over on the main boards? 

https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,45462.0.html

Very nice drakensis!

Alright Abele, I look forward to your fluffy goodness!

With limited success in the Quicksilver Trials, Clan Hell’s Horses Khans commanded their Scientist Caste to explore upgrades to existing designs in use in their Touman. With over a quarter of their Assault ‘Mechs consisting of the Executioner OmniMech, with its over ten tons of fixed equipment it quickly became the logical choice for experimenting with upgrading it to the modern battlefield.

Quickly in their review it was determined the stripping of the integrated MASC system could simply not be done. It was embedded so deeply into its core schematics that it was easier to build an entirely new ‘Mech than stripping it from existing designs. Moving on to the next components it was found that the removal of the Jump Jets in the legs was actually much simpler than expected. Removing the magnetically shielded reaction chambers in each leg was rather simple it was the removal of the supplementary reaction mass carried on-board that could potentially be dangerous or damaging to the leg structure. The last piece to be modified was the internal heat dampening capabilities of the ‘Mech, without replacing the entirety of its engine much of its additional heat reducing capabilities could not be removed it was the single additional coolant system in its torso that was a quick and easy removal.

A 25% increase in available Pod Space has allowed the Hell’s Horses to begin the review and upgrade of many of the existing configurations seen throughout the Clans.

And here is my take on the Executioner and well before the deadline 

Overview:
Clan Cloud Cobra strength always was in its aerospace force with its ground forces among the weakest of all Clans. However following Operation Revival and the disaster of Tukkayid, it was clear that the future lied on ground holding or defending and that something had to be done to upgrade the weak Clan Cloud Cobra Touman.
Turning to another “small” Clan, the Goliath Scorpions, Khan Din Steiner made a deal with Khan Ariel Suvorov involving the exchange of Aerospace assets and the upgrade of one OmniMech to new standards, much like had been done during the Quicksilver Contests. Looking at their forces, they saw that they both had a lot of Executioner, a design also shared by Clan Ghost Bear, another traditional Warden Clan and one not hostile to the smaller Clans.
Striking another deal involving more Aerospace assets (of which Clan Cloud Cobra had more than enough) with Khan Bjorn Jorgensson, Khan Din Steiner managed to gather resources from the two other Clans to develop a new version of the trusted Executioner.


Capabilities:
One of the first things rediscovered by the different engineers and that had been lost was the Winson-Matu problem that had made the Executioner somehow less than optimised yet full of surprises with the capacity to remove the Jump Jets and one Double Heat Sink. Thinking that the ground speed of this OmniMech was more than enough thanks to its XL Engine and MASC, it was decided to increase the flexibility and raw firepower potential by dropping what could be dropped, resulting in an impressive 35.5 tons of pod space, more than a third of the total mass.

Focusing for Configuration Prime on saving ammo while retaining the heavy firepower of the original design, the weapons were split in two different ranges with some overlapping and the possibility to optimise the selection of firing weapons depending on the situation.
At long range, an ER PPC and 2 ER Large Lasers are in par with the previous weapons but the firepower at closer ranges was greatly improved with 6 ER Medium Lasers in the Left Torso and two Streak SRM-4 in the Right one. All the direct fire weapons are linked to a Targeting Computer, a concession made to the wishes of Clan Goliath Scorpion.
21 Double Heat Sinks try to cool this beast (but enable it to fire in brackets with the back-up of one of the heavier weapons at short ranges) and a Flamer was added to deal with infantry coming too close to it.

Configuration A follows the same philosophy with 3 ER PPC and 8 ER Medium Lasers. Thanks to its 24 Double Heat Sinks, it can quickly destroy almost all kinds of targets through heavy concentrated energy weapons without even noticing it.
Even with the lack of a Targeting Computer, it perfectly fits the fighting philosophy of Clan Goliath Scorpion.

Configuration B is typical of Clan Ghost Bear approach with an Ultra AC/20 backed up by an ER PPC and a LRM-10 but with the increased precision provided by a Targeting Computer that helps all the weapons including the 2 extra ER Medium Lasers to reach their target.
3 tons of ammo and the Heat Sinks needed to fire all the weapons save the LRM-10 at once make this ‘Mech a formidable opponent that can hammer its prey without mercy.

Configuration C is a typical missile boat, not really the most inspired ‘Mech but one that does its job without problems. One ER Large Laser and 5 Artemis-IV LRM-15 with 6 tons of ammo will allow it to fire almost forever on its target. In spite of its 17 Double Heat Sinks, it cannot alphastrike and will have to fire the ER Large Laser only one of every two salvoes to be totally heat neutral.
Should it run out of ammo, an ER Medium Laser and the ER Large Laser already mentioned would leave it with some measure of defence.

Configuration D is a further proof of the conservatism of Clan Ghost Bear as it is mostly a remake of the original Prime Configuration. Everything is there with a Gauss Rifle, Two ER Large Lasers and two Machine Guns. Thanks to the removal of the Jump Jets, some little things were added to improve it like a Streak SRM-6, an Active Probe to allow it to detect hidden units (as a counterpart of its lower mobility and thus lesser capacity to react), an ECM Suite to shield it and a Targeting Computer to make every shot count.
Thanks to 15 Double Heat Sinks, it can fire almost all its weapons save for the extra Flamer without having to worry about the heat generated.
In spite of its closeness to the original Executioner Prime, the new Executioner D is a superior ‘Mech and is likely to quickly become a favourite of most Ghost Bear Warriors.

Drawing on experience from Operation Revival, Configuration E is an urban/anti infantry specialist. With the usual package for such specialised tasks (Jump Jets, ECM Suite, Active Probe, Anti-Missile System), the choice was made to have a lesser but more previce firepower in order to avoid unneeded destruction in cities. It still caries enough weapons to deal with most opponents with one Large Pulse Laser and 2 Medium ones (all linked to a Targeting Computer, courtesy of requests made by several Goliath Scorpions) with the extra firepower provided by 2 Streak SRM-6 and the combined might of 2 Machine Guns and 2 Flamers to deal with infantry.

Configuration F is something strange for the Clans as it lacks raw firepower but can be seen as either a specialised duelling ‘Mech or a request made by Clan Cloud Cobra.
With 3 LB 2-X, one LRM-15 and a Large Pulse Laser, it can quickly cripple Aerospace Fighters trying to attack it. 3 tons of ammo for the LB autocannons and 2 for the LRM-15 give it some endurance while 2 ER Medium Lasers are there to provide some secondary firepower and 2 Jump Jets some extra mobility to avoid strafing attacks.

Configuration G is in a way a cousin of the Executioner F but one made by Clan Ghost Bear to deal with their enemies of Clan Hell’s Horses.
With one LB 10-X, a LRM-15, a Large Pulse Laser and 3 Small ones, it can quickly decimate infantry, battle armour or vehicle units, all favourite of Clan Hell’s Horses. 2 Jump Jets give it the extra mobility needed for difficult grounds where they could hide while an Active Probe and an ECM Suite give it the minimal electronical package that can be expected to perform this kind of job.

Configuration H is a kind of Warhammer with two ER Large Lasers and two Streak SRM-6 backed up by 2 ER Medium Lasers. Even if it lacks the raw firepower of a Warhammer IIC, it makes for it thanks to a Targeting Computer and 22 Double Heat-Sinks that allow it to fire most of its weapons without any problem. The extra touch comes from 4 Jump Jets that restore the mobility of this Configuration, improving its capacities.

Configuration I is another historical redesign but of the Marauder. One ER PPC, 2 Large Pulse Lasers and 2 ER Medium Lasers are used in the same arrangement as the classical Heavy ‘Mech but this version is far more deadly thanks to the use of Clan weapons (and once more the added value of a Targeting Computer).
24 Double Heat Sinks keep it cool enough to bring all its firepower and move while an ECM Suite and an Anti-Missile System are there to reinforce its protection.

Configuration J is another duellist but this one being targeted towards other ‘Mechs. Thanks to its 3 Ultra AC/10, it can fire rounds after rounds hoping to destroy its targets before running out of ammo (even if 4 tons should be more than enough for most duels). Because of its lack of secondary weapons (one ER Medium Laser and one ER Small one), it is a kind of all-or-nothing Configuration, well suited for the short fights still favoured by the Clans.

Some might say that Configuration K stands for Kodiak but no one will ever know for sure. What can be said is that apart from the addition of an ECM Suite, the loss of 4 ER Medium Lasers and the downgrade of the Streak SRM-6 to Streak SRM-4 (after all the Kodiak is heavier than the Executioner), this Configuration is a copycat of the trusted and proven Second-Line ‘Mech, symbol of Clan Ghost Bear.


Battle History:
Seeing that Clan Smoke Jaguar seemed weakened after its participation in Operation Revival and eager to reinforce their Aerospace arm, Clan Cloud Cobra launched a Trial of Possession for everything that was left at Aerospace Plant CM-T72673 on Atreus. They had no interest in capturing it as it would mean more Trials to defend it, Trials the Clan was not eager to hold.
Intending to reach its target, in spite of the Aerospace-heavy unit protecting it, Zeta Galaxy officers decided that once combat between Aerofighters had started, the only way in was to make a combat drop with their ‘Mechs to quickly reach the Aerospace Plant.
At the forefront of this attack was a Trinary of the new Executioner with a few Configurations designed to jump and take down Fighters. In spite of some casualties due to piloting mistakes, this plan worked and most of the raiders managed to land, also taking down for some of them a few Aerospace Fighters on their way. Once on the ground, the increased ground speed of the Executioner made it possible for the Cloud Cobras to reach their target (hitting everything on their way) before any Smoke Jaguar could react.
The total confusion created by the bold move of Zeta Galaxy had enabled their DropShips to land without any opposition, giving the extra Pilots onboard the opportunity to seize their prize before reuniting in space with their naval escort and leaving the system.


Deployment:
Clan Cloud Cobra bargained for the right of the first production runs of the new Executioners and for the schematics, making it for now almost the only user of the upgraded ‘Mech. With almost 80% of their ‘Mechs upgraded to the new versions, their Touman has experimented an important increase in raw efficiency, which combined to their overall strategy of saving their forces should allow them to reinforce their position.


Notable ‘MechWarriors:
Warrior Stanley of Clan Ghost Bear has just graduated from his Sibkbo and was assigned one of the new Executioner. He is mostly famous for his likeness to his ancestor Gorman Bekker but it seems that he can’t take the pressure from his legacy. Whether or not he will be able to perform as excepted from him remains to be seen.

Warrior Joanne Khatib was part of the Cloud Cobra forces raiding Atreus. She made herself famous for her combat drop at the commands of her Executioner F when she brought down two Jagatai while getting down into the atmosphere.
