Yes it's new, it's a light, it's "controversial", it's not the panther. Some speculation is two pages behind, due to the "controversial" it could be the Urbie, others here point @ the Hussar.
actually, just thought it was a good way to promote my Hussar II 1000-X design.
During Fortress Republic, the RotS looked for every advantage, every force multiplier possible. One design used to great effect was the brainchild of Ghost Knight Bishop Steiner. Long before the Jihad, Steiner had started his career as the first Lyran born Rabid Fox in Davion's MIIO, so he understood the advantages stealth provides better than most Mech pilots. After old age took him from active duty, he embraced learning the ins and outs of Mech Engineering. Still active, though wheel chair bound at the age of 132, he designed the Hussar II, for the Fidelis and Ghost Knights to use. Based off of the venerable Hussar, and sparing no expense, it is built almost entirely of Clan Tech components. Endo Steel w/ Triple Strength Myomer. 5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous Armor. A 360XXL engine and Small Cockpit. A Clan-tech Extended range Large Laser, limited jump capability and an Angel ECM suite all allow it to massively outperform it's predecessor. But the final component is what makes it the deadliest fast raider and head hunter in the Republic's arsenal: the resurrected Chameleon Light Polarization Shield and Null Signature System. The Void system was considered, but rejected due to it's lack of usefulness at high speed.
