Overview:
The Bronze was built to supplament the need for a cheap,
reliable and easily maintained combat command vehicle.
The engeneirs designed it so that it was both tough to
take down and easy to repair. Much of the mech is done
with easily obtained components. All the mechs weapons
can eaisly be replaced with battle feild salvage, the armor
and internals was also done so that it could easily be
replaced.

Capabilities:
Built on the same premis of the Battlemaster the Bronze
was designed to be a command mech for heavy lances.
The mech has a variety of weapons to operate at any
range.
The mechs DSC BlueBolt ppc mounted in the left arm is
much like that of the Battlemasters. The gun may be
ejected if it is destroyed so that the pilot can make full use
of the hand assembly. The mechs other arm mounts its
most advance weapon. The Blankenburg Large pulse
laser aptly complements the PPC and can easily justify its
cost with destructive power. The FarFire Lrm 10 pack
mounted on the mechs right shoulder give it some
softening up power. This weapon is usualy used while
closing with a target. Many times two full salvos can be
fired before the mech closes to bring its large energy
weapons to bear. For close in deffense the mech mounts
two Kreiger standard Medium lasers. These help keep the
heat generated by the mech down and alows the pilot to
worry more about, what to shoot next, than which
weapons he needs to not shoot to keep from shutting
down.
The mechs twelve tons of DSC standard armor give it
enough stayng ability to see most fights end.

Deployment:
A number of Bronze have gone to mercinary companies,
while more promenant houses have also made there
interest in the unit know. Many will likely be going into the
ranks of the SLDF as feild command vehicles.

Battle History:
The Bronze has seen little action, the design has yet to
truly prove its worth in heated combat. To date to worst
battle its been in was passifying a rebell force of decrepid
vehicles. The mech sustained minor damage and a total of
twelve light vehicles were destroyed.
