Overview:
Although the Lyran Commonwealth only employed the Wolf Dragoons for a
relatively brief span, it was sufficient time for them to notice the
flexibility of the Bandit and Badger vehicles used by the mercenaries. With the
influx of technical information from the Federated Suns, LCAF solicited
submissions for a light vehicle that could be quickly reconfigured into the
dozens of utility roles that currently employed scores of different chassis.
Drago Ltd, a small manufacturer on Skye who'd survived the Succession Wars as
minor contractor after first building weapons for the SLDF during their march
on Terra, offered the Bellri for consideration in 3025.
The Bellri saw action in the Fourth Succession War, the War of 3039 and the
Clan Invasion. Hysterical fears that Drago Ltd had obtained the omni-technology
from Clan sources saw a sharp cancellation of AFFC contracts in 3050 and the
company went into a financial spiral. Salvaged from disaster by Ryan Steiner,
Drago Ltd became a supplier to Free Skye and suffered significant damage
through the 3050s as LIC battled the movement.
Capabilities:
Unusually fast for a tracked vehicle, the Bellri can negotiate most terrain and
carries enough armour to survive several hits from heavy weaponry. Several
configurations carry one or two infantry platoons and others mount weapons up
to a large laser, although most are limited to a pair of turreted machineguns.
The fusion reactor makes the Bellri largely unrestricted in terms of logistics
and it's the vehicle of choice to support raiding units, capable of carrying
fuel and ammuntion for less capable vehicles.
Battle History:
Bellri-equipped infantry distinguised themselves on Skondia in 3029 facing the
14th Legion of Vega. Equipped with cavalry and light tank loads, the Bellri
added firepower to the defense. Although heavily outmatched, the Lyrans won the
respect of the DCMS for their refusal to surrender and several 'Mechs were
destroyed by the Bellri and their passengers.
Deployment:
Deployed in the LCAF and later AFFC, predominantly with conventional regiments
from the Skye and Tamar Marches, the Bellri also saw limited sales to the
mercenary market during Drago's hardship period in the early 3050s.
Surprisingly, a number of captured Bellri have been put into service by Clan
Jade Falcon which may have contributed to the hardship.
Although it's now rare for enough Bellri to be concentrated to equip them as
standard APCs, it's not uncommon for a lance to operate as a command unit -
mixing Command Van, MASH, Air Defense and Combat Support configurations to
cover the primary needs of a field headquarters unit.
