Overview

The Gnome has become the premier scout mech of the Company. While it is light on weaponry, it carries the most advanced electronics suite seen on any scout mech. Quick and agile, it can outpace most other mechs on the battlefield.

Capabilities

The Gnome works its magic in several different ways. Its Active Probe searches out hidden enemies, while its ECM blocks the advanced targetting systems of many mechs. To help other members of its star and binary, the Gnome also mounts advanced targetiting systems in the form of a TAG system, and the NARC missile beacon. The Gnome is well suited for its mission profile.

Deployment

The Gnome is deployed to many Clan scout stars.

Battle History

None. The Gnome usually runs from combat, rather than risk its electronics being destroyed.

Variants

None.
