================================================================================================
Overview:
Immediately after Word of Blake conquered Terra, technicians began reopening and repairing
mothballed factories. The Initiate, the first 'Mech to walk out of one of these refurbished
factories, comes from the Martinson Armaments production center that once produced the
Spartan. Though the Martinson factory was destroyed when Stefan Amaris took Terra some three
centuries ago, it was repaired in a surprisingly short time, and now produces Initiates as
well as Spartans.
The Initiate design was based in part on the Albatross, sharing many of that assault
'Mech's weapons systems and imitating its eclectic weapons mix.
Capabilities:
Loaded with weapons and armor, the Initiate's only drawback is a decided lack of speed and
maneuverability. At long range, the LRM provides quite a bit of punch for a 'Mech this size,
and the Initiate's firepower is stronger as it closes in. The combined punch of the ER small
lasers, the medium lasers and the SRM can disable smaller 'Mechs quickly and efficiently,
and the antimissile system defends the 'Mech from incoming missile barrages.
Deployment:
Production of the Initiate contiues at record speed, and each one quickly gets a pilot.
Initiates are being spread equally among all Word of Blake divisions.
