Overview:
The Grand Titan was designed by Vining Engineering and Salvage Team to take on the best
'Mechs that the Inner Sphere or the Clans had to offer.
Though little publicized, the Grand Titan's origins stems from the Titan, an abandoned Star
League Defense Force prototype that had been uncovered by the Armed Forces of the Federated
Suns in 3023. VEST's engineers received access to the recovered specs and not content with
merely producing a modernized version, chose to effectively use it as the basis for a
entirely new design that could defeat even Clan OmniMechs. Unfortunately with VEST's
engineers running wild with constantly shifting project requirements and capability changes,
the resulting divergent design was overloaded with the latest equipment and weaponry to the
tune of ten tons.
Having already sold the design of the Grand Titan to Earthwerks Incorporated thanks to the
success of their earlier Jackal, the 'Mech VEST finally delivered after stripping off
missile ammunition and one-shot Holly Streak SRM-2 launchers, along with resolving further
teething problems with its massive XL Engine, was arguably a better focused design. With the
Free Worlds League followed by the Word of Blake purchasing most of each production run from
Earthwerks, the Grand Titan is considered a prestige 'Mech following the prototype's
memorable defeat of an Atlas, with the Free Worlds League Military's Knights of the Inner
Sphere and the Word of Blake Militia's First Division among the most notable users of the
design prior to the Jihad, with variants of the design remaining in use after the Blakist's
fall.
Capabilities:
This variant of the Grand Titan is built on the same Corean Model 101BLP Endo Steel chassis
and is clad in the same Durallex Heavy armor but increased to eighteen and a half tons. The
original LTV 400 XL engine with a supercharged Vlar 300 standard engine, which can continue
to propel the Grand Titan to a speed of 64.8 km/h in bursts; Myomer Acceleration Signature
Circuitry was also installed allowing an absolute maximum top speed of 86.4 km/h. The 'Mech
continues to carry a large arsenal of weapons that allow it to work best at short to medium
range. The longest-range weapon remains a Holly LRM-15 launcher linked to an Artemis IV fire
control system. This variant now carries two Diverse Optics Type 35PX Large Pulse Lasers
instead of the Diverse Optics Type 20 Large Pulse Lasers to increase the maximum range;
however, the increased heat of the 35PX will force pilots to better monitor their heat or be
forced to use the pair of installed coolant pods to flush the excess heat. Once at close
range, the 'Mech carries two Diverse Optics Sunfire Extended-Range Medium Lasers, two
Diverse Optics Small Pulse Lasers, and a pair of Holly SRM-6 launchers with Artemis IV fire
control systems; the standard launchers were retained to allow the use of more specialized
munitions should the mission require. For protection from missile attacks, the 'Mech has a
McArthur anti-missile system. Finally, all of the ammo was moved to the left torso and a
CASE II system was installed reducing the risk of a tactical kill into a mild inconvenience.
