1st Somerset Strikers

Pilot: Adam Steiner

A vintage assault 'Mech with a sterling battlefield record, the Awesome combines the three best qualities of such a machine--speed, armor, and firepower--in a single, well-integrated package. The model fielded by the Federated Comonwealth owes much to the variants originally manufactured in 2665, during the Star League-era. The reintroduction of Star League-era technology to the latest model of the Awesome has corrected many of the deficiencies that crept into the 'Mech's design during the tumulous centuries that followed its original manufacture and deployment. The particular units referred to in this intelligence summary are typical of the new generation of Awesome. Combat intelligence reports received thus far indicate that logistical support requirements and fighting tactics for this 'Mech remain largely unchanged. As with all special-pupose units, the welfare of the Awesome in the field still depends greatly on the ability of the 'Mechs and vehicles screening it to prevent the enemy from mounting flanking attacks. The Awesome's main weapons include three Fusigon particle projector cannons, a Diverse Optics Small Laser 10, and a heavy battlefist for close quarter engagement. The Awesome is well armored with Duraflex Heavy Special plating, which has no gaps or weak spots. Overall, the Awesome is superbly designed for its job of punching through enemy forces. Its principal disadvantage is common to all well-designed 'Mechs: its opeational performance drops steeply in conditions not suited to its capabilities.
