================================================================================================
Overview:
The Grimm family of Regulus was one of the first mechwarrior families in the Free Worlds
League to begin upgrading the battlemechs with newtech. For several years the Diablo
sported a Poland Main Model A Gauss Rifle, but Ian Grimm was never satisfied with the
weapon's lack of accuracy at close range. He made several attempts to acquire Clan heavy
autocannons, but with no success.
When the Lyran Alliance developed their own version of the Ultra Autocannon 20, Sir Ian
attempted to purchase a copy of the new autocannon, but was rebuffed by the Lyrans. Taking
matters into his own hands, he requested a leave of absence from his unit, hired a small
mercenary band, and launched an unauthorized raid against a Lyran equipment dump on Solaris,
the first raid launched against the Game World from Marik space in over twenty years. After
a brief battle Grimm's forces took their objective; unfortunately no Ultra AC/20s were to be
found; however, close examination of an Atlas which Ian had dispatched with a PPC bolt to
the cockpit revealed that it's AC/20 had been replaced with the new model. This is the
cannon which Diablo carries today.
Capabilities:
The upgraded Diablo uses ferro-fibrous armor; although the increase in protection was only
marginal, enough weight was saved to mount a CASE system. Because it still mounts single
heat sinks the pilot must carefully consider the benefits of using the Ultra Autocannon's
rapid fire mode, especially when jumping. The heat build up from a single rapid fire burst
is not catastrophic, but can still limit the pilot's options somewhat. Still, the Grimm's
have been reluctant to upgrade to double heat sinks, because of the expense involved in
disassembling the engine, which is over 100 years old.
Deployment:
The Diablo remains in the First Regulan Hussars. Sir Ian has risen to the rank of Captain.
Although Thomas Marik was angered by his unauthorized raid on Solaris, Prince Cameron was
pleased to have the opportunity to rouse the Captain-General's ire; in order to show his
approval he personally decorated Sir Ian and increased his land holdings.
