Bastion Rising
« on: October 12, 2012, 12:06:36 AM »

Exarch Nevversan;

As you know the traitors of the Homeworlds stuck out to the Inner Sphere once again in 3190.  Sadly even with Clan Star Adder at the Helm of a full ten Clans (Star Adder, Coyote, Stone Lion, Cloud Cobra, Ice Scorpion, Diamond Dragon, Black Wings, the Revived Fire Mandrills and the False Widowmakers, False Mongoose, and most insulting of all the False Smoke Jaguars) they could not withstand the combined might of the Council of Nine, Lyran Commonwealth, and Draconis Combine. while representative galaxies from each of the nine Inner Sphere Clans are being selected for Operation: Retribution I have taken it upon myself to compile an analysis of the new Battlemechs that have appeared across the traitors invasion forces.

while the renewed invasion lasted a mere 24 months before being completely repelled, I have no doubt that the Homeworld Clans are licking their wounds and wondering what wen't wrong.  with our own forces beginning to deploy 3rd Generation Mech Technology, I have no doubt quick and decisive action will bring justice to the tratiors that not only refused to change in light of the failure of clan culture, but perverted it beyond any recognition.

The Warden

Overview
Captured Stone Lion Mechwarriors identified this battlemech as the Warden, an honorific to the old warden philosophy among the clans.  the fact that it was also the smallest of the battlemechs is a subtle dig at what the traitors thought of the philosophy.

Capabilities
it is clear that at some point before the Wars of Reaving the homewolrds got thier hands on the Hachiman Taro Brief about Word of Blake Clestial Omnimechs.  whether anyone would admit it or not the Warden takes significant cues from the Malak (now called Trialli).  this Omnimech utilizes a 210 Extra Light engine and nearly 95% coverage of advanced Ferro Lammeror armor.  the Warden carries ten and one half tons of armament, with the primary configuration geared towards multipurpose flanking and drawing out combat.  while the Primary configuration had a genius idea of placing twin medium pulse lasers in the center torso, the use of an XL engine meant that the mech was not a threat once side torsos were destroyed.

Deployment
The Warden was deployed most liberally among the "False" Clans, again it seems more to remind the new clans of thier proper place as being destroyed in a previous life.

The Pariah/Septicemia was the one known quantity, and massivly produced.  it's cheaper manufactuer and massive pod capacity for the class allowed it to cheaply and effectively replace every "classic" Clan built heavy  Omnimech.  the one new configuration is roughly analogous to the Timber Wolf B, consolidating the Timber Wolf's SRM and LRM rack into a single improved ATM.  while an effective duelist, it shows the failure to adapt to the Inner Sphere method of warfare.  while the Q Configuration could out range most Inner Sphere mechs, this mech never stood a chance against Fidelis 3rd Generation Companies

Deployment
The Pariah/Scepticemia was deployed by every single clan, and made up the vast majority of the invasion forces mechs.  the Twin ERPPC and six ER medium lasers (Sans Nova CEWS) became the default prime configuration of this mech.

The Hasshasin

Overview
The Hasshasin was clearly an attempt to create a pure duelist Omnimech.  it maximized speed, armor protection and oriented the bulk of it's non weapon equipment to the torso so bulky arm mounted weapons maximized Fields of Fire.  that it was named after the father of the Assassination is another indication of the mechs origins, being based on the hyper maneuverable Exterminator Heavy Mech.

Capabilites
with a Mere 20 and one half tons of pod space the Hasshasinis less capable then the Pariah, but more maneuverable.  the Prime configuration mimics the EXT-4D rather well, and other configurations are built around Rapid hyper accurate response.  despite the inclination towards dueling, it seems that with mobile Missile and PPC Carrying configurations indiate a nugget of understanding team play.
