Overview:
Imported from TRO: Shadows of War, written by Javier Antón Novella, Agustín Sieiro, and
Ángel Sala.
The loss of Hesperus and Tarkhad was a devastating blow to the Lyran Alliance. After losing
their main factories, the Lyrans sought any other way to build more mechs. Produciton lines
for one of their most iconic mechs, the Zeus, were lost and Zeuses began to appear in
Blakist ranks. Areplacement was needed. The Maus was that replacement. The result of a joint
effort from Defiance Industries, Coventry Metal Works, Tarhes Industries and Mountain Wolf
Battlemechs, the Maus is a powerful , if hardly innovative, assault ‘Mech.
Capabilities:
A cursory look at the arms of the Maus is enough to highlight its origins. The chassis of
the Sunder was modified and simplified to house more weapons and heat sinks. At the
begining, the engineers aimed to design something like the old Zeus, but they ended up
working towards a more durable ‘Mech. The joint effort was not problem free, with Tarhes
leaving the project. After some arm twisting, they returned to design only electronic
components. The weapons are akin to those found in the Awesome and Flashman, with a huge
array of large lasers. Built to be easy to maintain, the only advanced equipment found in
the mech is the compact gyro and the new light PPCs. Nobody has complained about that design
feature.
Deployment:
he Maus has been built in low numbers after the opening of thje new Vendrell factory. The
first units built there fought against the Word of Blake on Tarkhad, where they proved very
effective. The biggest production issue is dueto the ‘Mech using parts built on seven
different planets; there are several bottlenecks that made faster production impossible. The
Maus, with its low numbers, has failed to replace the Zeus as the preferred mech of the
Lyran Alliance.
Variants:
The original design was simpler and only had large lasers. Mountain Wolf Battlemechs and
Tarhes Industries wanted to build it, but Coventry Metal Works lobbied to build the more
advanced, definitive versión. The argument angered Tarhes and there have been a lot of
problems with the targeting systems.
Notable MechWarriors:
Kommandant Hans Hohmann. A master of combined arms, he is able to control an entire
batallion from his cockpit. He has headcapped seven mech since 3067 and he is very popular
amongst his troops. An old friend of Nondi Steiner, it is unlikely that he will advance more
in his military career.
