Overview:
    The Alpha is a mystery. In 3034 parts of the Metal Ants mercenary regiment hunted down
    pirates in Kurita space near the core-wart periphery border. Among the captured mechs was a
    model unknown to all recognition data. The pilot, who was captured with his machine, was
    interrogated about the origin of the mech (among other things) but could only tell, that it
    was found abandoned on an uncharted planet 3 years ago without any trace of how it got
    there. He himself dubbed it the A-1 Alpha.
    After a detailed examination the mystery wasn't`t solved: no chassis-number, model-number or
    company-emblem much less a military one was found. Individual components like heat sinks or
    weapons resembled types used by Earthwerks some 500 years ago but seemed to be just out of
    the factory a few years ago.
    At last it was integrated into the Metal Ants' 2nd Auxiliary Battalion.

Capabilities:
    A large laser is it's main weapon supported by an LRM-10 launcher at longer ranges and a
    pair of medium laser at shorter ranges. The heat sink system can handle the heat of the
    lasers but simultaneously firing the jumpjets can overtax it easyly. Instead of carrying
    ammunition in a well protected torso location the Alpha carries it's LRM's in the arm next
    to the launcher.
    Speed, weapons and armor are well balanced.

Deployment:
    The only mech of this type is currently deployed by the Metal Ants mercenary regiment.
