"Named for the war fan used by ancient Japanese samurai, the Tessen was first conceptualized as a heavy scout Mech designed jointly by the DCMS and Com Guard. However, numerous philosophical and technological differences lead to the abandonment of the project in 3055."
"The original Tessen was fast and heavily armored for its size, capable of either evading or destroying any threats it encountered while on a mission. The modified version remains swift, capable of 97 kph, but the reduction in speed allowed the designers to retain the nine tons of ferro-fibrous armor which provided amble protection against weapon fire. However, the addition of the C3I, TAG, and iNARC systems reduced the payload considerably. Its weapon load-now only a single Diverse Optics pulse laser and a Lord’s Light Extended Range PPC - is also inferior to many lighter Mechs."
[Editor's Notes: The fluff indicates the running speed was greater than 9, and that it kept the original's 9 tons of FFA. THe original apparently lacked C3i, TAG, and iNARC. An option I didn't take replaces the SRM6 and ML with standard C3 Slave, Guardian, or normal NARC.]
