#10 Cicada CDA-3M, named "Tharkad" 2.0 ; Status: mastered

Okay, I bought another new mech very close to the Ravens but it was time for a change. My Ravens serve as LRM-boats so I decided to have another dogfight-mech because I shouldn't neglect my melee skills.

Yes, it's a surprise! I have chosen a medium mech chassis... This mech is fast and should be useful for capturing points and it's able to resist. Maybe it's a light hunter, let's see. I'm sure, Daddy, that you understand my point of view. Please authorize the payment soon, my agent is waiting.

Just stop to clap your hands... this is serious business here. Ronald has a new mech! Yes, a new one. It's more pew-pew than the other. It's called "Mech Rip" because Ronald loves to rip apart other mechs.

#11 Locust LCT-1V, named "Katrina"; Status: mastered

Now I know about all details and edges of being a light pilot. Driving a Cicada even means being a medium mech pilot and I think it's too big for me. So I thought it over and bought the lightest light mech I could get:
the Locust.

What shall I say? It engulfed me in deep crises. No, just kidding but now I know what it means to be pounded into the ground with one single shot. And it became even more usual to be teamkilled. Being a Locust pilot means the supreme discipline in becoming a light pilot. You mean nothing to your enemies and you mean even less to your own team. The only way for a sure survival is to go it alone...

Oh, I forgot... this important experiment occasioned costs of nearly five million C-Bills.
I think it's a nice gift for Christmas. Thanks a lot, Daddy!

This mech holds a high score of mine. I killed five mechs with this Locust! This mech can be match-winning.

Just another Locust... they're soooo cute! I got the new one by using my allowance. Finally I get used to this mech... it's very strange, you can be taken out so quickly. But I became more secure in every match when I killed some other mechs. Now I'm sure that it's possible to master this chassis.

#13 Locust LCT-3S, named "Katherine"; Status: mastered

...and the last one. Needless to say that it's necessary to have this third one to master this chassis. This one is a prototype, maybe the first LRM Locust in history. A fast LRM boat is what everybody wants... so here it is.

It's not just a fun build... the Raven has shown that a light can carry LRMs. But this one will be very "experimental".

#14 Blackjack BJ-1, named "Big Berta" 2.0; Status: mastered

Is it true? Winter sale in a mech factory? Maybe they like to give a discount because of the numerous purchases during the course of recent months.
My choice was easy... I love the trial Blackjack. I just tried it and then I made three kills in my first match. I tried again and again, every time the same result: don't know why but I can drive this mech very successfully.

So I decided to choose this mech as my first real medium experience. It's no different than the champion mech. Certainly it contains my first AC/20. Therefore it should be named "Big Berta".

BOOOOOM!!!

#13 Mech, Shadowhawk SHD-5M "Mandy"

#15 Blackjack BJ-1X, named "Pew Pew"; Status: mastered

The Blackjack... what a nice mech! I didn't know that it fits me like a hand in a glove. My damage output is outstanding for my standards (remember I'm a light mech pilot) and I love it's agility. I want to master this mech and so I decided to get another one, the 1X.



I figured out why this laser boat is named 1X.

#16 Commando COM-1B, named "Freyr"; Status: mastered

I couldn't wait... Finally I got my hands on the Commando. This is the typical training light mech of the Steiner House. And by the way it's the fastest one. The mech has more weight than the Locust (five tons) but two variants can carry an engine with a rating of 240. With speed tweak this mech can reach 171 km/h! I love this "little man".

I built another annoying LRM light mech. Even five rockets are shot in three (!) salvos. I can mark the enemies and empty their AMS with it.

Durgaz-Baal, the Lord's Hammer, was designed by Dorian Markov of Solidus Heavy Industries during the O²-Crisis on Gattaca.

For years it has lain dormant in our hold, damaged beyond recognition. The ancient technologies to animate it were all but lost to us, in these dark days after the StarLeague. It was a symbol of our plight, of our conviction. Of our betrayal on Memmingen. A lifeless husk, broken, like all of Tamar, waiting for its inevitable demise...

So it is with great pride I present to you this veteran of bygone wars, the legacy of our ancestors, refitted for deployment to aid us in our present struggles.



During the Invasion, this 'Mech alone held the Suronova-Airfield against two enemy heavy assault lances,

Afterwards, it was named Parras-Ilim, the God-Cleaver!

#18 Trebuchet TBT-3C, named "Endymion"; Status: mastered

I have had a long talk with a friend, asking him for medium mech with a LRM option. And he recommended to me the Trebuchet. It's the perfect mech for a direct fire support on sight (with ARTEMIS).
