Overview:
Note: Designed this for a design challenge on the other board to make as the challenger,
Cannonshop said: "a 'mech designed to kill civilians in large numbers and only be mediocre
to poor against proper military forces."
What do you think? Is it mission accomplished?
Per earlier suggestion, I replaced the micro-pulse lasers and a ton of armor with 4 machine
guns, and 2 half-ton MG ammo bins. The endo-composite internals were also replaced with
standard internals.
Actual Fluff:
After beginning her Mongol doctrine, Khan Malvina Hazen found that there were a few cases of
towns, cities, continents, even whole planets that refused to follow her directives after
she conquered them. Although any 'Mech could be used to cow these people, Malvina decided
that something more extreme was needed. Thus was born a 'Mech that was originally named the
Firehawk, but would soon become known everywhere else as the Atrocity. Although not the
largest 'Mech around, and certainly not battleworthy against most military machines, the
Atrocity excelled at its designed purpose: Slaughtering innocent civilians.
Capabilities:
Mounting over a dozen anti-infantry weapons, the Atrocity can reduce neighborhoods, towns,
cities to flaming rubble in minutes, decimating communities and rending Malvina's justice to
those she deems deserving. Although the loudout can create a heatbox for its pilot, coolant
pods help alleviate this issue, and an active probe help find hidden targets.
Some have argued that what is lacking is speed. Clocking in at a maximum of 54 kph on a 50
ton 'Mech, the Atrocity is not going to win any footraces. However, its ground speed is
perfectly adequate for its intended environment. Namely, the middle of cities and towns,
where it can inflict the maximum carnage possible. This 'Mech has only one goal in mind: to
create the maximum death toll possible on civilian targets. It doesn't need great ground
speed to fulfill that purpose.
Deployment:
Malvina has insisted that each unit have at least a star of this 'Mech per cluster, usually
manned by her most ardent supporters...or the worst insane sadists in her clan.
It's much the same thing.
Notable MechWarriors:
Star Captain Erinyes Hazen: Erinyes Hazen is a disturbed individual. During her sibko
training, she and her sibmates came under attack by a partisan unit of Spheroid supporters,
and she suffered horrible burns over half of her body, including losing an arm. Despite
these horrendous injuries, she trained herself to overcome her enemies, and came out of her
Trial of Position as a Star Commander. She took to Malvina's Mongol policy with extreme
glee, and won a Trial of Possession for a new Atrocity BattleMech when it became available.
Now, she glories in inflicting injuries to other Spheroids similar to those to which she was
subjected, laughing all the while. Rumors have it that she has even been found bathing in
the blood of those she has slaughtered.
MechWarrior Ryan: Ryan has not been a Jade Falcon warrior for long, and due to his freebirth
Inner Sphere heritage, he is not well liked by his (true) Falcon starmates. However, his
cold, dispassionate views on the slaughter of innocents...innocents that were once his
neighbors...has come a long way in convincing his starmates of his worth. No one is quite
sure why he is the way he is today. A review of his past history show that he was raised in
a loving family, was not bullied at school, and was a very hard worker at his job. There are
no signs of a developing psychopath or sociopath. But given the way he has taken to burning
down his fellow Spheroids and staring at their ashen remains, there is no doubt that he is
one of these.
Sometimes, people just snap.
