The classic Star League Urbanmech was a success in the manner of providing a respectable amount of firepower in a compact and inexpensive package. the old argument of "Volume of Fire" against "intensity of fire" often sprang up when discussing the Urbanmech. The Federated suns, as part of their crash rearmament and mobilization program, developed the Urbanmech II as study in the "Volume of Fire" approach in defending its cities.
a quartet of Medium Pulse Lasers provide the bulk of the Urbanmech IIs firepower, limited range being offset by expected environment. for long range engagements a pair of Light PPCs permit some modicum of defense. a 20mm machine gun and SRM pack are added to provide anti infantry and anti battle armor capabilities.
Urbanmech IIs are being built as quickly as possible from the same Corean line that saw the revival of the Battleaxe. Despite the urgency on the Combine Border, Urbanmech IIs have been moved to the Cappelan Border for the sake of propaganda. Given that the Urbanmech has been subsumed by the Gun, this "giving the Cappies a taste of their own medicine." might be of questionable effect.
