================================================================================================
Overview:
Defiance Industries has long been one of the primary driving forces behind advancements in
military technology, and not only within the Lyran State. The corporationÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s
plants on Hesperus II are probably the most famous in the Inner Sphere, but its facilities
on Furillo, though unable to produce the sheer volumes of equipment that the Hesperus plants
do, are no less capable. FurilloÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s general manager, Duke Thelonius Gracchi, felt
nonetheless that even within Defiance his divisions were considered second-rate. In an
effort to boost Defiance-FurilloÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s image and increase morale among his thousands
of employees, he commissioned the Uziel and personally sold the new Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech to
units within both the LAAF and the AFFC.
Capabilities:
The Uziel is not a groundbreaking BattleMech design, especially when compared with some of
the new designs to come out of Hesperus II. It does, however, incorporate several newly
developed weapon systems into an effective combat package. The main production version is
designed for Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech units that specialize in harassment. Its LB 2-X autocannon
gives it the ability to reach out and damage an enemy from extreme ranges. Though the weapon
does relatively little damage, it is ideal for hit-and-fade tactics, arresting the
enemyÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s attention and either driving them into a trap or simply harassing them
from afar. The Uziel, however, is not primarily a ranged-attack Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech. It mounts
a battery of various-class lasers as well as an SRM 6 launcher, giving it a short-range
barrage that is tough to beat in an Inner Sphere Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech of its size.
Though the Furillo plant and its Uziel are still looked down upon by many within both
the LAAF and Defiance, the Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech was in great demand during the Fifteenth Battle
for Hesperus. With Furillo just two jumps away, forces on both sides of the fight clamored
for reinforcements while DefianceÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s board of directors demanded that Gracchi send
as many new Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mechs as possible to aid in the defense of his sister divisions.
More than one newscast from the planet prominently featured the Uziel standing guard in
front of DefianceÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s mountain entrances, so while the company as a whole is still
spending most of their resources on Hesperus II, the Furillo plant has been buried in orders
for their new Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech.
Deployment:
Like just about every other BattleMech debuted during the Civil War, the Uziel has found its
way into dozens of different units, most of whom would never have requested or received any
in the first place. Quite a few have also found their way into the Lyran Regulars regiments,
though that is more by accident than by intention.
Variants
Defiance produces one variant, a configuration based on their original prototype that
bears little resemblance to the primary model. The 2S mounts paired standard PPCs and
machine guns along with a Beagle Active Probe and the Harvester SRM pack. It is only
produced in limited quantities, but does give potential customers the option of buying a
powerful reconnaissance Ã?Â?Ã?Â?Mech.

A very interesting weapon-mix. Sure, the LB2-X is the perfect sniping cannon but if you get close to this mech you'll feel its short-range punch. With its mobility it's hard to pin down and the armor is still not bad. The small lasers seem to be somewhat pointless and so remove them for some more armor.

This mod is waay weaker than the previous. It might have more guns but they barely scratch someone.
The LB-2x and er smalls are just pathetic. Why not just slap on an ERPPC and one more DHS if you wanna do sniper ?

A cooler runing version of the UZL. The LBX may not look like much, but is perfect for sniper duty. The large pulse laser is good for closer in damage, as is the ER medium. The ER smalls can be removed, theyre more for show, I think, than anything else. Yank them and slap another ton of ammo on this mech or make room for another BAP.
