Solaris: The Reaches

Overview:
O’Neil’s, a major ‘Mech factory located in Solaris’ Reaches, has produced several leading ‘Mech models in the past two years. Among medium ‘Mechs, the popular Werewolf has proved an especially effective design. Its excellent movement and jump capabilities make it ideally suited for arena combat, though its reliance on short-range firepower limits its value outside of the Solaris games.

Capabilities:
Outfitted with 16 double heat sinks, a Werewolf with a properly configured target interlock circuit system can vent off almost all of the heat generated by its weapons, with the exception of the Martell medium pulse laser. Because many arena MechWarriors regard heat spikes as the toughest problem they face in battle, the heat sinks alone have made the Werewolf a favorite among pilots. Though the ‘Mech’s exclusive reliance on short-range weapons and its small ammunition stores make the Werewolf unpopular outside of the arenas, its weapons are more than adequate for the fast-moving, close-in fighting common to the Solarian arenas. Most Werewolf pilots favor the Scrapyard or Ishiyama arenas, whose particularly tight quarters dramatically reduce firing ranges.

Deployment:
So far the Werewolf has found no military buyers. However, several Solarian stables have purchased and begun testing Werewolfs during the past few months. Independent MechWarrior Itsura Mikasai, rumored to be a former member of the renowned Kell Hounds mercenary unit, has racked up an impressive string of victories piloting his Werewolf, "Blood Hound." And according to fans of the Banshees, that stable has recently purchased a Werewolf and modified its weapons configuration, dropping the small pulse lasers in favor of heavier armor. The new Werewolf will make its dueling debut at the Hartford Gardens.

[Editor's Notes: This one is awful! The crits, armor, ferro-fibrous, and heat sinks only fit on a 55-ton mech, but all the writeups insist it's a 40-tonner. If it's 40, the armor is several tons overweight (as is the mech), armor is over the max allowed, the heat sinks don't all fit in... But when calculated at 55 tons (the BV and C-Bill numbers reflect 55 tons), the mech is 9 tons underweight! Note the head armor. Go figure.]
