Overview:
Originally, the Riveter was designed as a fast-response 'Mech
for garrison units. It can rapidly bring a fair amount of firepower
to bear on any part of the battle. Strangely enough, pilots have
been using the Riveter for other things such as a heavy scout,
a hunter-killer, and sometimes as a help in peacetime construction.
Also, this 'Mech is only constructed within the Draconis Combine,
the only condition given for the use of the Shigunga MRM-20 system.
Capabilities:
The two main focuses of the Riveter are firepower and speed. A
280 rated extralight fusion engine provides enough power to push
the speed up to 114 kph. It is faster than many medium 'Mechs in
existence and can keep up with many fast 'Mechs. The main weapons
of the Riveter are the large laser and MRM-20, backed up by three
medium lasers. The lasers and MRM launcher were used because it
was felt they could deliver the most firepower to the target then
other systems could. Armor protection is average at best and
mediocre at worst, forcing Riveter pilots to depend on speed and
firepower to survive on the modern battlefield.
Deployment:
About 150 Riveters are stationed with garrisons and planetary
militias throughout the Combine, many along the borders. A handful
of Riveters have made it out into some mercenary units that raid or
have contracts with the Combine.
