The Whitworth was a popular Battlemech with the Rim World Republic because it was cheap to make and used abundant LRM Missile Systems. it was only ever made unpopular in the succession wars because of a belief that a Battlemechs mass determined it's role type rather then it's actual capabilities. the daughter empire of the RWR, the Elysium Republic in the Aquilian Rift, sought to leverage modern technologies to make the Whitworth a better battle platform while still retaining it's low cost.
