Overview:
       A new assault mech design coming out from the Draconis March no 
   less by Independence Weaponary which constitudes half of the DCMS 
   Atlas production, this Atlas spin off nicknamed the Bedlam is an 
   attempt to integrate artillery support into a mech thus allowing the 
   mech to have its own fire support.

Capabilities:
       The massive Annihilator Sniper Artillery piece on the mech's 
   torso provide bulk of the Bedlam's firepower at range.
   Capable of engaging enemies at great distances while still doing 
   splash damage, the Annihilator Sniper Artillery is simply devastating 
   even moreso against infantry and battle armor units. All this often 
   out of the enemies engagment ranges.
      Thus a single lance of Bedlams can fire off a rolling barrage as the 
   monstrous mechs strides slowly and surely toward their targets or whats 
   left of their targets. 
   20 ample reloads supply the massive cannon and are all stored in CASE 
   equipment. 

       Backing up the massive main gun is an impressive battery of 
   lasers, a pair of Victory Nickel Alloy extended range large bore 
   lasers serve as the mech's direct fire main weapons while 5 Victory 
   23R medium lasers provide a good potent punch up close. 2 of the 
   medium lasers however have being mounted rearwards to discourage back 
   biters. Interesting enough, the Bedlam mounts a flamer at its left 
   leg which allows the mech to burn up the ground in front of him with 
   ease, a technique which is certainly useful against infantry and 
   vehicles. 

       Armor wise, the mech is as tough as the AS7-K but since it uses a 
   standard engine instead, the mech is much more reliable and much 
   cheaper to produce. It also uses no new advanced armors as well 
   making it easy to manufacture. The mech's defensive attributes are 
   further augumented with Matabushi Sentinel ECM system, which help 
   foils smart weapons. 
       
       
       

Deployment:
       Only produced in very limited quantities due to the limited 
   availability of the Annihilator Sniper Artillery piece and the rare 
   FireScan artillery target computer, but nevertheless the mech did saw 
   limited action in assault groups where its integral firesupport 
   design makes it devastating against fixed positions and battle armor 
   units and infantry.
