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.
