The [color="#b27204"]Yen-Lo-Wang[/color], named after the Chinese god of death, is a custom [color="#b27204"]Centurion[/color] that was originally used by Justin Xiang-Allard in [color="#b27204"]3027[/color] during his "exile" on Solaris VII and his Solaris Championship run. He modified the 'Mech originally with an [color="#0f72da"]Assault Autocannon[/color] and placed Titanium "nails" on the 'Mech's hand actuator. He used the 'Mech later during his career with [color="#b27204"]House Liao[/color]'s [color="#b27204"]Maskirovka[/color] during the [color="#b27204"]Fourth Succession War[/color].

He gifted it to his son, [color="#b27204"]Kai Allard-Liao[/color] when he first joined the Federated Sun's arms forces, where he served with distinction using the 'Mech during the [color="#b27204"]Clan Invasion[/color]. [color="#b27204"]Hanse Davion[/color] personally had the 'Mech modified with Star League technology when Kai refused to accept Wolf's Dragoon's produced [color="#b27204"]Daishi[/color] Assault [color="#b27204"]OmniMech[/color], offcially passing it to Kai on 21 September 3050. The weapons had been replaced with a Von Ryan [color="#b27204"]Gauss Rifle[/color] in place of Autocannon and Spitfire [color="#b27204"]Medium Pulse Lasers[/color], two on arm, one on torso and one on back. Additionally Mech was refitted with new generation of [color="#b27204"]Triple Strength Myomer[/color] which did not burn when exposed to gas, the Miata 200 [color="#b27204"]extralight engine[/color], and three additional, switchable [color="#b27204"]Heat Sinks[/color]. The 'Mech was briefly lost on [color="#b27204"]Alyina[/color], behind Clan Jade Falcon's Occupation Zone, but Kai later recovered it. Later, he used the mech as he followed in his father's footsteps as [color="#b27204"]Solaris VII[/color] Champion.

Yen-Lo-Wang saw service again with Kai in the final assault of New Avalon island in [color="#b27204"]3067[/color], protecting [color="#b27204"]Victor Steiner-Davion[/color] from harm.

Sometime in the 32nd Century Kai gifted the 'Mech to his niece [color="#b27204"]Danai Liao-Centrella[/color]. It had fallen in disrepair, and needed restoration. When Danai was old enough, she journeyed in early 3120s to gather parts to restore the 'Mech. She then used the 'Mech on [color="#b27204"]Solaris VII[/color], where she competed in the games and won the Solaris Open with it. She and Yen-Lo-Wang went into service of House Liao's [color="#b27204"]Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry[/color] as part of 3120s incursion into [color="#b27204"]Republic of the Sphere[/color].

The Autocannon is a direct-fire ballistic weapon, firing HEAP (High-Explosive Armor-Piercing) rounds at targets either singly or in bursts.

PGI PLEASE!!! PLEASE !!! PLEASE!!! Burst Mode for this VERY expensive peice of equiptment. -_- :lol:

I noticed in the BOOK he had to compensate for the rise of the barrel from the burstings. Walking the rounds in.


Looks like they just Put the weapon in the AC20 class because it was so devastating. Fired several rounds to devastating high explosive effect. Each round probably did like 7 damage but there were 4 to 9 of them each burst Must have had a horrible recycle time. BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BRAP!!
