Overview:
    The success of its Victor design led HiIdCo Interplanetary to develop a larger
    version of that BattleMech for city assaults and defense, either standing alone or
    as part of a lance. That 'Mech was the Pillager. Built during the Reunification
    War, the Pillager enjoyed great success with the SLDF and helped turn the tide of
    that conflict in the Star League's favor. The Pillager is the largest BattleMech
    ever constructed by HiIdCo. The destruction of the facilities that made its
    advanced systems kept the Pillager out of production from the end of the Second
    Succession War, but the decoding of the Gray Death memory core provided HiIdCo's
    engineers with the knowledge their predecessors had lost. HiIdCo Interplanetary
    recently restarted production of the Pillager at its plant on St. Ives.

Capabilities:
    Built on one of the largest chassis ever designed in the Inner Sphere, the
    Pillager presents an intimidating sight. The new Vlar 300 XL engine gives the
    Pillager the same top speed as the Atlas but at half the weight, allowing for the
    installation of heavier weapons and armor. The Pillager's main weapons are its two
    Gauss rifles, a large laser and four medium lasers. The Pillager's nineteen tons
    of armor give it excellent protection. Fourteen double heat sinks keep the
    modern-day Pillager cool--indeed, it is one of the coolest running 'Mechs on the
    battlefield. The Pillager is also equipped with jump jets that allow it to leap up
    to ninety meters.
    
    The Pillager has a long and colorful combat history, including action in the
    Reunification War, the Amaris Civil War, and the Succession Wars. According to
    records of those conflicts, enemy forces tended to flee from the mere sight of
    approaching Pillagers.

Deployment:
    HiIdCo has already completed four production runs of the Pillager and has begun a
    fifth. The biggest customer so far has been the St. Ives Compact Military. The St.
    Ives government has announced plans to sell the Pillager to mercenary units in the
    near future.
