Overview:
    After years of work spent designing a competitor to the popular Warhammer BattleMech, the
    manufacturers at Maltex Corporation finally came up with the answer in 2572 with the first
    prototype of the Thug.
    
    Building on the idea that the best defence is a strong offense, designers kept the
    hefty firepower of the Warhammer, while beefing up the armor protection and modernizing the
    target acquisition system. The design won great praise after initial testing and review.
    
    During the clan invasion Clan Snow Raven recieved some spoils from other clans as part
    of a trade agreement. One of the items recieved was several Thug battlemechs. After
    completely reverse engineering the units the Raven scientists decided to try a new version
    for thier taumans. Though its not completely modular it has many of the modularity features
    built into the chassie, greately reduicing unit downtime and allowing for minor flexibility
    amongst warriors.

Capabilities:
    After reviewing the original specs the scientists realized that the original fram was
    incredibly flexible and could easily be modified to house some very impressive weapons. The
    new Thug IIC keeps the Endo steel chassie but replaces the original engine with a much
    lighter XL. This allows the Thug to mount a much more deadly weapons package. paired ER
    PPC's are mounted in each arm. A pair of ER Medium lasers were added to the arms to back up
    the PPC's. the SRM's were upgraded to a Pair of Streak SRM 6 launchers are torso mounted and
    in a odd move the Ravens aquired some of the new ATM launchers and ammo for use. So backing
    up the SRMs is a pair of ATM 3 launchers with 3 tons of ammo for each (1 ton ER, Standard
    and HE per launcher) With the extra tonnage left over the engineers added 4 jump jets to the
    frame and a ECM and Probe combo.

Deployment:
    Currently the Thug IIC is undergoing tests in several Taumans. Oddly enough several have
    been seen in the Taumans of the Ghost bear and Wolf clan. It is unsure if they are deployed
    in smaller numbers in any of the other clans.
