Okay, I am not to much of a mech/vehicle fanatic nowadays like i used to be back in the 80's, but I going to get My AU started one way or the other, my problem is am more or less a stickler for getting equipment and units made up in a general outline before I start doing fluff for them, so here I go on this,
By 2820, the older equipment of the Beast Clan dating from the old and now gone forever Star League. Was beginning to become obsolete in the face of newer technologies the Three Families Research Fleet had been researching and now was into the prototype production development phase.
While the technology already fielded by the Beast Clan's primary battle force, the 12th TSSOG was still far in advance of anything the Realms fielded, that balance was slowly changing, much line it's predecessor the Beast Clan relies on Superior Tech and Equipment to offset the Realms greater numbers, but by direct intervention of the Founder, it was ordered that the new generations of equipment to be fielded be advanced enough to keep that edge, but also be practical enough to be viable war machine, and not the paper tigers fielded in the old days.
Faced with limited resources even with the settling of the small stellar cluster named the Ghost Cluster, the Beast Clan at this time does not have the personal or needed infrastructure to build single type specialty units, one of the breakthrough tech of the Three Families Research Fleet was the continued research of the Mercury class battlemech Modular Placement system(What the Beast Clan calls Inner Sphere Omni Technology), the Three Families managed to crack the final hurdles that would allow the system to be fitted to other combat type vehicles..
with this the need for 5 designs for the future standard of production and deployment of the Clan's military is now being solicited by the Military Procurement Division.
Design 1. 25-35 tons, most be agile, decently armored and armed and be able to deploy in the traditional scout/harasser role.
Design 2. 40-55 tons, must be able to fulfill the traditional role of the workhorse of the military.
Design 3. 60-70 tons, will be the most common deployed striker type vehicle.
Design 4. 75-85 Tons, Will be the primary battlefield combatant.
Design 5. 90-100 tons, as traditional, the most heavily armored and armed vehicles possible, designed to assault hard points and break thru the enemy lines in order to allow for light and faster units the chance to maneuver and outflank the enemy.
1.Basically Omni Inner Sphere tech will be the centerpiece requirement.
2. Armor types is limited to either Standard or ferro, this is to keep repair and replacement simplified(bonus points for using Standard armor for the designs).
3. Even with XL tech, the requirements for the engines are either regular or Light Fusion(another developed tech).
4. Tech available for the designs is Jihaid era Inner Sphere, minus tech developed by Word Of Blake.
5. Thanks for the help and have fun !!.

Drakensis Enterprises wins the contracts by default. Wont be as large as a SLDF contract, but the Beast Clan as of 2820 fields 4 Divisions and is growing witheir expansion into the uninhabited Ghost Cluster.
-
Woot! I'll take the victories I get! Just a shame there's no one to gloat I defeated.
-
I feel the same way, i guess it might be due to the lack of info i still have avialable for the Beast Clan ABTU considering it is defintly not even near Canon BTU or near similiar off shots, still i am gratefull even one person responded, if it wasnt for Tiger Dragon, Idont feel there would have been even fighter entrys, kinda lets me know what people want to support and not support, but thats okay i will move forward with my project.
-
And the Beast Clan don't even get an assault design out of this.

Guess I will need to outsource to a retired marine buddie again lol
