================================================================================================
Overview:
After action reports from Tukayyid illustrated handily the effectiveness of the KCG-001 King
Crab. However, ComStar did not want to convert all of its King Crabs into the -001
configuration, as this would deprive them of the unmatched close-range capability the King
Crab offered. Instead, ComStar commissioned StarCorps to construct a new BattleMech that
would be capable of similar long-range assaults.\
Visually, the Psychopomp appears like an amalgam of a King Crab and the Cougar XR prototype,
with the Mech's arms angled upward to give its Gauss Rifles optimal fields of fire.
Capabilities:
The Psychopomp, in its standard configuration would be armed with an ER PPC, Twin Light
Gauss Rifles, and an MML 9, all linked by a Targeting Computer and C3i system, to make this
machine deadly at extreme range.
All models of the Psychopomp have the following Quirks: Overhead Arms and Narrow/Low Profile
Deployment:
By 3058, development was entering the prototype stage, unfortunately, WoB would launch
Operation ODYSSEUS at that time, halting development as the design team fled Terra with the
only copy of the Psychopomp's specifications.
ComStar would struggle to find a factory to produce the 100 ton behemoth, until they
approached Norse-Storm Technologies, who agreed to produce the Psychopomp in the same
Solaris Factory that biult the venerable Nightstar Battlemech.
Sadly, production would only last 9 years before the Blakists invasion of Solaris saw the
Norse-Storm production lines destroyed. As such, the Psychopomp is a rare sight on the
battlefield, rarer still in the employ of anyone outside of ComStar.
