Type/Model: Maus III
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3060
Config: Tracked Vehicle
Rules: Level 3, Standard design

Mass: 170 tons
Power Plant: 340 VOX Fusion
Cruise Speed: 21.6 km/h
Maximum Speed: 32.4 km/h
Armor Type: Valiant Lamellor Reactive
Armament:
1 Defiance 5000 Heavy Gauss Rifle
1 Vulcan MDS Model 5B Anti-Missile System
1 Rhinemetal 1000 Gauss Rifle
2 KmC-8000 ER Medium Lasers
Manufacturer: Adon Industries
Location: Alarion
Communications System: CommuTech XL
Targeting & Tracking System: BlazeFire Tracker with RangeCheck

==Overview:==
Wishing to impress the Archon-Princess with a powerful home grown super tank, the engineers at Adon Industries rushed to prefect the pet project of their head of R&D, Dr. Proschmits.

The Maus III is a dream come true for Dr. Proschmits. After years of trial and error he could never get a chassis to hold the weight needed to allow it do mount an effective array of weaponary and still have enough armor to take on anything on the battlefield.

No one is sure why this vehicle was an obecession with the good doctor, but he almost broke the company trying to get it made.

==Capabilities:==
The Maus has the fire power to leave a small hilltop. It carries the Defience 5000 Heavy Gauss Rifle. This weapon is one the most powerful gauss rifles in use by any military. The mounting of it in the front hull area limits it's overall usage, but that is made up for by the Rhinemetal 1000 Gauss Rifle in the turret along with the dual KmC-8000 Extended Range Medium Class Lasers. To round off this impressive arsenal is the Vulcan MDS Model 5B anti-missile system.

Over all the machine is able to do a lot and the cost compares nicely to some of the assualt mechs in use by the LAAF.

==Deployment==
Three have been sent to Tharkard to protect the royal palace and the other 4 are being sent to the Defience plant on Hespereus to help defend it from attack.

To damn slow. I can get 4 tanks liek Behmoths for the same money. I do like the turret gauss rifle idea. Other than a fight in a long closet it would be easy to counter. Yes it can defend a static must pentrate site but is it worth the R&D and tooling when the Banshee or Behmoth is so near?

Wait a minute, isn't "Maus" German for "mouse?"
