Overview:
       Paid for by the Federated Suns the PML-2S IS-Loki is yet another 
   attempt by the Fed-Suns to imitate a mech design of the clans. Faced 
   with the earlyer dissapointment of the Raksasha the company did not 
   want to lose that much PR influence on another failed design.  
       
       Hiring the DSCA to run a preliminary trial run of the mech a 4    
   year contract begining in 3061 and ending in 3065 was drawn up and     
   the DSCA spent most of 3061 Retooling an unused portion of the plant 
   to produce the high tech Omni. When the first Units roll off the 
   line they will be shipped directly to the Fed suns for feild testing 
   after that the design, Under contract to the DSCA, will become 
   avalable on the open market.

Capabilities:
       The PML-1 IS-Loki was designed primarly along the lines of the 
   Clan version. Incorporating a staggering amount of precision parts 
   and high level technology the engineers were able to build a 
   prototype Omni mech. Weighing in at 65 tons the  same as the Clan 
   Loki. This mech is much the same in apearance. Incorporating the 
   XL engine in all variants. Almost all variants were found to be 
   heat sensitive and weapons fire must be toggled to avoid heat 
   problems.

       In the Primary configuration the IS-Loki incorporates ER, LBX 
   and streak technology making it a deadly versatile machine. Mounting 
   a DSC Azure ER PPC in the left arm and a Defiance Disintegrator 
   LB 10-X autocannon in the right this mech is versatile and well 
   armed. Four Diverse Optics ER medium lasers serve as secondary 
   weapons along with a guided system Streak SRM-4 missle pack. 
  
       The Alpha config mounts twin Holly LRM-20 racks augmented with 
   the Artemis IV FCS, one on each arm, with paired of ER and pulse 
   medium lasers also mounted one on each arm. This mech Carries four 
   tons of LRM ammunition and can deliver destruction to its enemies 
   from considerable distance.

       The Beta config, also a fire support variant carries its 
   armament of twin Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER large lasers, and a pair 
   of LB 5-X autocannons one mounted directly under each ER large laser 
   in the arms. Linked Diverse Optics medium pulse lasers nestled in 
   the left and right torso's are the mechs only secondary weapons.

       The Charlie config, relying primarily on energy weapons is 
   likely to see much action on extended sortes. In each arm this mech 
   carries a Diverse Optics Series 20 large pulse laser, and a Diverse 
   Optics medium pulse laser.  Along with these it also mounts directly 
   below them in the arms a Diverse Optics small pulse laser. Along 
   with the impressive laser aray the mech also sports a Holly LRM 20 
   mounted in the Right torso. This Lrm Launcher carries onyl 2 tons of 
   ammo and is more suited to be used during a closeing action rather 
   than a long range slug match...though when paird with the Alpha 
   connfiguration it does create an excelent pair for a well deffended 
   support unit.
 
      The Delta configuration, is the ballistic Brawler variant. While 
   it's main weapons are two LB 10-X Autocannons aranged in the arms. 4 
   linked Diverse Optics ER medium lasers set in the left torso provide 
   secondary wepons for this design. The LBX cannos carry one ton of 
   ammunition each. For short range coverage a Streak SRM 4 pack is 
   mounted in the right torso. This design is highly ammo intensive and 
   is rarely seen far from supplylines.

       All designs carry ammunition in the right torso and all variants 
   with exsposive ammo carry case. No Variants mount lower arm or hand 
   acuators except the charlie config witch has only lower arm acuators.


Deployment:
       Full Scale deployment has yet to begin. The first of the 
   productions lines is slated to run sometime Between 3062 and 3065.
