Ordered by House Marik in 3061, the WLV-6M Wolverine
is a capable omni-mech. The design went into production
in late 3062 and has already been intergrated into House
Marik regiments. The Wolverine serves a true line mech,
being optimized for the mission is is to undertake.
Capabilities:
The basic design of the Wolverine is very adaptable with
36.5 tons of pod space. Due to the thoughtful
arrangement of structural equipment, the Wolverine is able
to carry weapons such as the devastating gauss rifle. The
Wolverine utilizes Endo Steel Internal Structure, has a
Magna 260 XL fusion reactor. While critics sight the
reactor as too small and underpowered, it does give the
Wolverine an impressive weapons and armor load, that
being 12 tons of A.C.E. Type 4A Heavy.
The Primary configuration is a jack of all trades. Intended
to be a medium range fighter its true firepower comes from
its Mydron Excel Ultra Type 10 Ultra Autocannon 10 and
its pair of Chicomp 43 Special Large Lasers. Backing up
these main weapons are a pair of RAMTech 800P
Medium Pulse Lasers and a Generation Streak SRM4.
Alternate configuration A is a true long range direct fire
support variant. Its main weapon for this role is the
Norse-Stromm Model 7D Gauss Rifle. A pair of Blazefire
Sweetshot ER Large Lasers add misery to pain at long
range. For those units that do manage to close within
short range of the Wolverine, there is a Generation Streak
SRM4 to deal with them. In this configuration, the
Wolverine also carries a Garret/Guardian Interface
Guardian ECM to make targeting difficult for enemy units.
Alternate configuration B is a short range brawler. Carrying
a Mydron Excel LB 10-X Autocannon as the main
weapon. A pair of Thunderbolt 12 Large Pulse Lasers and
a pair of RAMTech 800P Medium Pulse Lasers are the
main back-up to the autocannon. This variant also
carries the Generation Streak SRM4.
Alternate configuration C is nothing short of a missle boat.
Mounting 2 Valiant Ballista LRM20s with 2 tons of ammo
for each, it is more than capable in this role. For short
range work, this variant carries 4 RAMTech 800P Medium
Pulse Lasers, a Chiscomp 39 Medium Laser and a
Chiscomp 2000 ER Small Laser.
Deployment:
House Marik deploys the Wolverine to line regiments in
fairly impressive numbers. Capitalizing on the mechs omni
capabilities, all 4 different configurations may be seen in a
regiment at any given time.
A small number of Wolverines have also been spotted in
service with the forces of Word of Blake. Exactly how
many Wolverines are being supplied to Word of Blake by
House Marik remains a mystery.
