Overview

The Exterminator had a rather terrible reputation amongst the Clans after Andery Kerensky died in his during Operation KLONDIKE. Adding to this that it was meant to be a “stealthy assassin” worked against it as well in the more honorbound Clan infrastructure. Those that had not been destroyed during KLONDIKE were stashed in Brian Caches and never heard of again. That is, until the Clan Reforms brought forward by ilKhan Lynn McKenna.

With most of them languishing the stockpiles, Khan Joseph Siddiq of Clan Burrock began trading and trialing for them. Most Clans were not even that interested in keeping them and were happy to trade them for raw materials and “Inner Sphere curiosities” TOTALLY ACQUIRED THROUGH PROPER CHANNELS. Clan Jade Falcon fully expected the Burrocks to just slap a new coat of paint on the design and sell it to their LEGITIMATE BUSINESS PARTNERS IN THE PERIPHERY, but Khan Siddiq had other ideas. Interested in the development of the Heavy Lasers, he acquired the technology through a series of trials and had his engineers optimize the Exterminator into a raider and duelist machine.

Capabilities

Eight tons of weapons is really not a lot on a 65 ton BattleMech, but it was considered enough on this version of the Exterminator. The main weapons are a pair of torso-mounted Heavy Medium Lasers, allowing the Exterminator C to sheer off four and half ton of armor in a single volley. At longer range, the right arm mounts an ER Large Laser, allowing the pilot to weaken his target before getting into brawling range. Each arm features reinforced forearm assemblies for more powerful and accurate punching, which while dezgra, is fully expected when getting into fights with the Inner Sphere AND NOT USED AT ALL BY THE DARK CASTE WHY DO YOU ASK?

The Exterminator C was also built to be incredibly mobile for a ‘Mech its size, explaining the limited weapon loadout. The engine is a massive Super Light 390 XL, allowing the ‘Mech to go up to 96kmph, comparable to most Medium ‘Mechs. Added to this is a MASC being tied in the structure and musculature, allowing the Exterminator C to get bursts of speed of up to 128kmph, comparable to many Inner Sphere Light ‘Mechs. Added to this, a full suite of Jump Jets allows it to jump 180 meters, perfect for it to get behind a ‘Mech to exploit the weaker rear armor.

VARIANTS

The Exterminator C 2 reverses the laser setup, putting a Heavy Large Laser in the arm, with massive damage potential. The side torso lasers are replaced with ER Medium Lasers, with a similar range profile, allowing for accurate mid-range engagements.

The Exterminator C3 is a more radical variant, reverting to putting a pair of Heavy Medium Lasers in the arms like the original Exterminator. Against infantry and unarmored targets, each side torso now mounts a pair of Small Pulse Lasers.
