================================================================================================
Overview:
A new design in the ranks of the Scorpion Empire, the Nova Scorpion was actually built from
the frame of the old Star League’s Crab medium BattleMech., and like that old design, has
become a general work horse machine for their army.
Capabilities:
Building from the basis of the Crab, the Nova Scorpion looks very much akin to that design,
but with an “over-the-back” mounted improved heavy laser to simulate the scorpion’s
tail and stinger. The large and medium lasers of the original BattleMech have been replaced
with extended-range models, and the small laser has been upgraded to a pulse model for
anti-infantry ability. To further improve its short-range firepower, two four-pack missile
launchers have been added to each side torso. Although fed by just a single ton of
ammunition, the launchers’ streak technology ensure not a single missile is wasted.
Although 14 double heat sinks can keep the design cool when the pilot uses only either the
long-range firepower, or the short-range barrage, firing everything at once will quickly
overwhelm the machine in crippling heat.
The Scorpions also fitted a Watchdog electronics system to this BattleMech, and a
supercharger to allow for bursts of speed. Armored protection has been nearly maxed out and
safety was improved by wrapping missile storage and the improved heavy laser in advanced
CASE protective systems.
Deployment:
The Nova Scorpion has been deployed in all second line galaxies, and has quickly become a
mainstay unit in the Scopeion BattleMech forces.
