Overview:
Imported from fan-made TRO:3063, organized and directed by Steve Satak. Which of the writing
team created this mech is unknown.
The design team working on House Marik?s Project Retread selected the Guillotine as their
first assignment. The GLT-4L dates to the earliest Succession Wars while the GLT-5M was
first manufactured in the late 3040s. Neither was suitable for front-line assignment in
3060, and both existed in fair numbers (about 250 units total, the bulk of these being 5M
variants). The design team finally settled on the GLT-5M, as replacing the 4L?s standard
chassis with endo steel was beyond the project?s scope.
Capabilities:
Upgrading the GLT-5M to the proposed 7M standard involved replacing all four medium lasers
with Diverse Optics extended range models. In addition, the twenty-five single heat sinks
were dropped in favor of twelve double- strength ?freezers?, freeing up several tons and
quite a bit of internal space.
This was put to good use with the installation of a Corean light Gauss rifle supplied with
sixteen ferro-nickel slugs. Finally, the original six-tube standard SRM launcher was
replaced by a Harpoon Streak SRM-4 with twenty-five reloads, intended to give the GLT-7M
greater independence from supply lines.
Armor remains a respectable twelve tons of ferro- fibrous plate, and the ?Mech still boasts
the same four jump jets. The Martell extended range heavy laser also remains in place.
Coupled with the light Gauss rifle, it gives the Guillotine decent long-range punch with
manageable amounts of heat, though at closer ranges the MechWarrior will need to watch that
heat more carefully. The ER medium lasers and missile rack provide enough firepower to keep
smaller opponents at bay, as well as present a serious threat to infantry of all kinds.
Deployment:
A number of test models accompanied the Second Oriente Hussars on their deployment as Star
League Peacekeepers. ?The Crazy Second? used these ?Mechs extensively during their time on
Indicass, most notably in the joint Hussar and Capellan assault on Ceres Metals.
While the main Hussar force assaulted the St. Ives Cheveau Legers outside the factory gates,
a smaller secondary force infiltrated the complex. Their goal was to quietly seize the
facility from its entrenched defenders. BattleROMs show Guillotines lofting up over the
buildings of the industrial park, hammering away at Compact forces with their laser
batteries. The Guillotine lance, working with a lance of the new Vulcan, cleared nearly all
of the St. Ives infantry from the vicinity. This concerted, highly mobile attack forced the
defenders to withdraw in confusion, winning the factory for the peacekeepers.
The design did not fare as well at Xin Singapore, the capital. There, Lieutenant Boyle and
her lance of Guillotine GLT-7Ms stayed back and hammered the Second St. Ives Lancers with
long range fire until a freak shot from a Lancer PPC struck her cockpit and nearly killed
her. Boyle?s lancemates reported hearing a scream of fury as the enraged Boyle broke ranks
and charged the offender, a St. Ives Cestus.
The ensuing melee proved disastrous for the wounded Mechwarrior; the Guillotine?s superior
mobility and range might have carried a standoff fight, but at close range Boyle could not
compensate for her opponent?s cool-headed aim. Only the timely arrival of her lancemates
saved her from certain destruction. Regular refits began late the following year, 3062, and
the design has proven popular with elite units of the FWLM.
Notable MechWarriors:
Lieutenant Petra ?Rolling? Boyle
A member of the Second Oriente Hussars, Boyle is a MechWarrior noted for occasional bursts
of anger on the battlefield. This temper nearly proved her undoing during the fighting for
Indicass. While Boyle has been decorated for bravery, her lancemates say that, far from
being a hero, Boyle should count herself lucky to be alive.
