Designation:  Wolverine (MNX-23)
Mission Profile: Close Anti-Mech Assault

Profile-
The Wolverine is a close in mech that shreds armor and what is underneith.
As long as it does not get close is is relitivly harmless.  Relative is
the operative word. Sightings of wolverines have been used as distractions
as much as actually being the cause of the conflict.  A Wolverine's armor
can keep out most damage from even a 200mm smoothbore.

This is the Etgaian's Frontline Mecha.  There has been more wolverines
produced then the rest of the Etgaian's full scale mech force.  This meens
in any conflict, an Etterran mech pilot is most likely to come up againsed
this mech then any other.

Additional notes-
Though the Etgaians are perfectly capable of using standard fusion as the
power plant of the Wolverine they still use dangerous fission ones.  It
has been speculated that this is both because of the initial inexpense of
the power plant, as well as the fact that can be more dangerous to destroy
it once it achieves it's optimum combat range then to let it dissasemble
what ever mech it is facing.  The blast of a wolverine going critical has
been known to level everything within a 150 meter radius leaving it a radio-
active waist.
