BattleMech Technical Readout
CRM-1 Crimson Eagle
Created to fill both the roles of Garrison mech and hunter-killer support unit, the Crimson Egale is a marvel of modern engeneiring. Replaceing the ageing Hollander as the premeir medium support unit the Crimson Eagle is quickly becomeing a common site in the Inner Sphere. Capabilities: The first Crimson Eagle was build by hand in a labratory at the Solaris VII facility. Being such a versitile solidly build mech the questionis raised as to its designs origens. Mounting the lighter but bulkyer Extra light engine this mech can acheive speeds of 86Kph and more. Nine tons of ferro fiberous armor molded to an endo steel chassis weighing only three tons gives this mech considerable armor protection and a vast amount of additonal tonage for weapon payload. Instead of wasteing space with a number of smaller weaponry as its main armorment the Crimson Eagle mounts two heavy hitting weapons, one energy based and one ballistic. The Energy based heavy hitter is a standard DSC Blue Bolt PPC. This weapon mounted in the left arm makes for some serious damage to whatever it hits. Backing up this heavy particle cannon is a Polan main model A Guass rifle, mounted in the right arm, the massive weapon has two tons of ammunition a total of 16 shots keeping it supplyed with ammo for some time. While many may think these are the only weapons the mech mounts they simply didnt get close enough for the pilot to need to bring to bear the mechs secondary weapons. Twin Medium pulse lasers situated in the mechs Center torso along with an Exstended range Medium laser in the head make this mech formidable at any range. Deployment: An unsponsored design by the DSC armory the Crimson Eagle was produced as a pure revenue mech avalable for purchase to any who could aford it. Many of these mechs have found homes in every house army and a number of Mercinarys units. Units like the Eridian light horse and Wolfs dragoons feild this mech regularly. There are also some unsubstantiated reports of an IIc version of the mech feilded by more than one clan.
