CDA-2Ax Cicada History: HartfordCo Industries got its start producing communications and targeting and tracking systems for the Terran Hegemony, followed by the Star League, and then the Capellan Confederation before the destruction of its headquarters on Bryant in 2840. Its earliest products, the HartfordCo COM 2500 and 3000 series were found in the quadruped Xanthos and the 60-ton Galahad. Those BattleMechs also utilized their early targeting and tracking systems, the XKK 2 and XHW 7. In 2612, HartfordCo Industries, entered the military hardware market with the introduction of the 100-ton Von Luckner assault tank. The Von Luckner was one of the few combat vehicles designed from the ground up to be powered by a fusion engine. Considered to be a “BattleMech without legs,” the Von Luckner carries a formidable array of weaponry and is well protected by eleven tons of 4/Star Slab armor, the same armor used by the 55-ton Scorpion BattleMech. Carrying a turret mounted Armstrong Class 20 autocannon, two Holly SRM-6s, a Dannel SRM-4, and a Holly LRM-10, the Von Luckner is one of the few tanks capable of destroying an enemy ‘Mech in a one-on-one engagement. It also carries a Ramsey machine gun and a Firestorm flamer for point defense and use against infantry and other soft targets. Having gained a measure legitimacy from the success of the Von Luckner and with a proven track record for producing quality BattleMech electronics, Hollis Industries partnered with them beginning in 2633 to provide the cockpit electronics for their new BattleMech, the 85-ton BLR-1G Battlemaster. The BattleMaster was an instant success, cementing Hollis Industries place in the top tier of defense contractors, and giving HartfordCo precious publicity among the generals and quartermaster of the SLDF. After the debut of the BattleMaster, the SLDF quartermasters adopted the Von Luckner for use among its frontline armor divisions beginning in 2683 thereby solidifying HarrfordCo Industries financial future. Their next big break would come in 2733 when Mitchell Vehicles, one of the oldest, largest, and most successful defense contractors of all-time, requested a license to manufacture the HartfordCo COM 4000 and XKZ 1 targeting and tracking system, the same set used on the BattleMaster, for use in their new 85-ton Shogun BattleMech. Having now worked successfully with two different BattleMech manufacturers, HartfordCo Industries decided it was finally time to enter that market as well. In 2740, they unveiled their 40-ton CDA-2A Cicada, a BattleMech aimed directly at replacing Bergan Industries antiquated 20-ton LCT-1V Locust. Equally fast and weighing twice as much, the Cicada carries two medium lasers and a small laser, giving it slightly better firepower while carrying the same amount of armor as the 20-ton Locust. The SLDF accepted the design just as HartfordCo had hoped, using them to replace destroying Locusts. However, the per unit cost was over twice that of the 20-ton Locust and once they had been deployed along the periphery border, it was quickly discovered the HartfordCo heat sinks were defective, operating at only 60% efficiency, necessitating an expensive and embarrassing recall. Consequently, the HartfordCo never achieved its goal of replacing the Locust, and the Cicada remained a rare and somewhat marginalized design. Having failed to achieve any significant penetration in the BattleMech market, HartfordCo took a step back, designing and delivering an advanced “Royal” Von Luckner tank to the SLDF Royal Divisions in 2761, and then contracted with MatherTechno Incorporated in 2777 to provide electronics for their 40-ton Vulcan anti-infantry BattleMech. They would go on this way until 2840 when the storm inhibitors on their home planet of Bryant were destroyed during the Succession Wars, making the planet uninhabitable. Notable ‘Mechs and MechWarriors: Second Lieutenant Wilfred Wildes A member of the Second Ceti Hussars, a House Davion unit formed from the remnants of the SLDF's Eighth Striker and 1894th Light Horse regiments, Lieutenant Wildes originally piloted a LCT-1M, a variant of the 107 common 20-ton Locust. During one of the many frequent attempts to wrestle the industrial stronghold of Tikonov away from the Capellan Confedertion, his Locust was destroyed during bitter fighting against the Frist Chesterton Voltigeurs. During the course of the unsuccessful campaign, the Ceti Hussars salvaged a 40-ton Cicada, among other BattleMechs, before they were forced to withdraw from the planet. The LCT-1M, with its dual arm mounted LRM-5s, was envisioned as a fast mobile fire support platform, however the increased weight of the missile launchers left the 20-ton ‘Mech with only a single ton of armor to protect it. Consequently, as Wildes found out, it is easily destroyed. Working with the Hussar technical team, Wildes directed them to refurbish the Cicada along the same lines as his former Locust. Replacing the destroyed Pitban 320 fusion engine with a Vox 280 salvaged from a Capellan Assassin freed up a considerable amount of space in the chassis allowing the technicians to install a Holly LRM-5 in each of the Cicada’s stubby arms while retaining the two medium lasers. Determined not to become dispossessed again and blaming the destruction of his former LCT-1M on its ridiculously light armor, Wildes went to instruct the technical team to “slap as much armor on that ugly bird as humanly possible and then add one more ton.” Ultimately, the Ceti Hussar’s technicians were able to cover Wildes’ Cicada with six tons of Riese-470 armor, giving it vastly better protection than his original Locust, and 50% more protection than even the original Cicada.
