Overview:
In the late 3140s succeeding the conquest of the Hanseatic League by the forces of the newly
minted "Scorpion Empire" the various Galaxies and Clusters of the Scorpion Touman were left
in precarious shape. Having to rely more on second-line security forces, Khan Magon Scott
made the decision to convert production lines for the Cattlemaster IndustrialMech into
something more immediately useful for the Empire.
The Scientist Caste of the Empire quickly got to work building a revamped mech from the
bones of the venerable herder, increasing its the quality of materials the mech was built
with to present a more aggressive and combat-capable front.
After a little less than a years development, the rechristened "Vacquiero" sometimes
jokingly referred to as the "Cattlemaster IIC" was ready to be put into full production.
Carrying only a few remnants of its original design, the right arm mounted retractable blade
and ease of piloting to name a few, the Vacquiero was designed to fill the role of a largely
inexpensive second-line scout. A single clan ER PPC was installed in the left arm, which,
when paired with the bizarrely out of date single heat sinks, meant the mech often ran quite
hot. This however, would be to the pilot's benefit, as the excess heat would allow for the
TSM installed in the mech to activate, improving both speed, and the damage it could deal
with the retractable blade stored in its right arm.
Members of the Garrison caste were quickly issued their new Vacquieros as the Khan ramped up
Battlemech production across the Empire in a bid to reinforce the Scorpion Touman before any
new threat sensed blood in the water. Reports began trickling back that the Vacquiero was
reliable in its designated role of security scout, able to hunt down and eliminate domestic
threats with ease, and even capable of running head to head with Pirate forces when the need
arose.
