Overview:
When the Word of Blake decided to convert a section of the newly reopened Mitchell Vehicles
factory specifically to produce quad BattleMechs, they had two designs already in the works.
Neither of the designs (which would eventually become the Blue Flame and the White Flame),
however, were complete. In both cases, the engine was the problem. A standard fusion engine
weighed too much to allow the 'Mechs to carry the desired weaponry. An extra-light engine
left enough free weight, but took up too much space in the confined interiors of a quad to
fit the weapons.
The answer to this problem came with the development of the light engine by the Lyran
Alliance. With the onset of the civil war distracting Lyran intelligence, ROM agents were
able to steal the new technology. It proved to be the perfect compromise of weight and size
for the planned 'Mechs. Current plans call for the light engine to be used by the Word of
Blake for quad 'Mechs only, though it is possible that a bipedal design may require it in
the future.
Capabilities:
The White Flame is fast and mobile for a heavy 'Mech, but it carries less weaponry than most
comparably-sized BattleMechs. It is at its most useful as a guerrilla-type unit, striking
quickly then fading back and striking again from another direction. Stand-up slugfests will
leave the heavy quad rapidly defeated, despite its heavy armor and anti-missile defenses.
This is not to say that the White Flame's large and medium pulse lasers aren't dangerous
when combined with its pair of ER medium lasers, just that they are simply best used on the
move.
The jump jets that give the White Flame its great mobility are a sight to behold in
use. Installed in each of the quad's four legs and protruding downward from its center
torso, the entire underside of the 'Mech appears to ignite when it jumps, leaving a trail of
fire like a falling star behind it in the air. Upon landing, the four legs flex and absorb
the impact, while the center torso jet helps by propelling a few seconds longer than the
others to help cushion the landing. The overall effect is quite striking.
Deployment:
Like the Blue Flame, White Flames have been distributed throughout the militia in numbers
smaller than the production total. Whether some are simply being modified after production
and thus have yet to see service or a secret division exists, as some believe, is unknown.
