================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Lingchi BattleMech was prototyped and produced by Clan Burrock just before their
    dealings with the Dark Caste were discovered by the Star Adders. It was designed under the
    ancient principle of “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” and as such utilized small scale
    weaponry, albeit a lot of it.

Capabilities:
    Weighing 100 tons, the Lingchi was built around a 19 ton 300 Fusion engine. This gave it a
    top speed of 54 kph, although it was also able to leap up to 90 meters at a time thanks to
    its three massive jump jets. 16.5 tons of standard armor plating protected the ‘Mech while
    14 double heat sinks struggled to keep it cool in more intense situations.
    
    Every single available space on the ‘Mech was utilized for weapons and equipment. Each arm
    carried both an Ultra AC/2 and an LB-2X Autocannon, with the latter being fed by cluster
    ammunition, an ER Medium Laser and ER Small Laser as well as three newly developed ER Micro
    Lasers. Each side torso equipped with eight SRM 2 launchers.
    
    Though individually none of these weapons seemed like much a threat to other assault
    ‘Mechs, when combined the Lingchi was able to dish out startling amounts of damage. The
    inclusion of the 6 ER Micro Lasers also meant that it posed a serious threat to smaller,
    close range threats like infantry and battle armor. The LB-X autocannons and short range
    missile launchers in particular were good at seeking out weak spots in enemy armor,
    disabling or destroying ‘Mechs and tanks before they were totally torn apart by other
    means.
    
    Though the Lingchi included CASE protection in each side torso like all clan ‘Mechs, the
    amount of ammunition carried still posed an overall risk to any pilot - two tons of Ultra
    AC/2, two tons of LB-2X cluster, and two tons of SRM 2 missiles.

Deployment:
    Appearing on the battlefield just before Khan Cassius N’Buta issued a trial of absorption,
    the Lingchi first saw combat against Clan Star Adder during their Trial. It was also
    utilized against Clan Blood Spirit when they interfered, attempting to turn the Trial of
    Absorption into a Trial of Annihilation. Even though the majority of the surviving members
    of the Burrocks were indeed absorbed into the ranks of the Star Adders, the Lingchi would
    survive and see use by the homeworld clans mostly, until Clan Diamond Shark brought the
    design to the Inner Sphere in 3071 following the outbreak of the Wars of Reaving.
