PXH-1x Phoenix Hawk History: The Phoenix Hawk owes its existence to its much lighter cousin, the 20-ton Stinger. Orguss Industries, based on Marcus and a long time military sub-contractor for Earthwerks Incorporated, discovered that the Earthwerks STG chassis could be strengthened enough that it could support over twice the weight of the original. Engineers at Orguss then proceeded to re-engineer the chassis, giving it the Orguss Stinger designation, and began work on a new BattleMech. After extensive testing, they discovered the reinforced skeleton could effectively support up to 45 tons. Given the long term success of the Stinger, it was quickly decided the new 45-ton ‘Mech should emulate both the speed and jump capacity of its little brother. Having been an integral part of the extensive supply chain that fed the massive Earthwerks Incorporated interstellar empire, Orguss had little trouble sourcing the components needed to build a new ‘Mech. They first turned to General Motors, commissioning a 270 rated fusion engine for use in their BattleMech. The GM 270 would go on to become a successful engine for General Motors, ultimately serving in the Highlander, Hussar, and Hermes. Next, they turned to Lang Industries for assistance in the design and manufacture of the jump jets. The Pitban LFT-50 jump jets found on their Shadow Hawk had proven themselves reliable, if unremarkable, for over 100 years at this point, making them one of the oldest models on the market. This partnership resulted in the development of the 9000 series, which would go on to continue Pitban’s unbroken chain of successful jump jet development, eventually culminating in 2650 with the directional LFT-10 series used on the SDR-5V Spider. For electronics, Orguss turned to Apple Computers Interstellar, headquartered on Macintosh in the Federated Suns. Originally a manufacturer of high quality personal electronics on Terra, the company had grown so fabulously wealthy they simply bought an entire planet to serve as their new home base. Producing the widely used and respected Dalban line of communications and targeting and tracking systems, Apple Computers was surprised when Orguss asked them to design new systems for their exclusive use. The engineers at Apple Computers quickly rose to the challenge, however, providing Orguss with the Tek BattleCom communications suite and Tru-Trak targeting and tracking system. For weapons, Orguss Industries looked inward, developing a full line of Harmon lasers. It is believed these borrow heavily from the Omicron line produced by Fusigon Heavy Weaponry on Campbelton. Much like the Stinger’s Omicron 3000 medium laser, the Harmon heavy laser is one of the few handheld models produced. Energy hookups are located in both arms so the ‘Mech may carry the heavy laser in which ever arm the MechWarrior prefers. The M100 machine guns are provided by Brigadier Corporation on Oliver, which uses them to build the 65-ton Crusader. Seeing an entirely new BattleMech rise from the ashes of an old one, the engineers at Orguss Industries dubbed the new 45-ton design the “Phoenix Hawk.” Production began in earnest in 2568, just three years before the official creation of the Star League. The Star League would adopt it immediately, and the Phoenix Hawk would quickly become the SLDF reconnaissance ‘Mech of choice due to its heavy armor, substantial firepower, and ability to keep up with other much lighter scout ‘Mechs. However, once it became widely deployed, its true value as a command ‘Mech became quickly apparent. The sophisticated multi-channel Tek BattleCom was easily capable of coordinating company and even battalion level communications but just as importantly it was heavily shielded against interference and incorporated advanced encryption algorithms to ensure secure battlefield transmission. The BattleCom was so successful, in fact, that less than 10 years later, Kallon Industries would contract with Apple Interstellar for use with its 55-ton Wolverine, which would itself go onto become a highly sought after command ‘Mech for medium class units. Apple Interstellar would go to develop a number of specialized expansion modules for the Tek BattleCom, 109 including a highly prized lostech Electronic Counter Measures module as well as a ground-to-space uplink/downlink module for communication with orbiting satellites and naval vessels. Orguss Industries’ headquarters on Marucs would fall victim to the border fights between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Free Worlds League during the Second Succession War, their facility being destroyed in 2837 when the planet was successfully taken by House Steiner. By this point, however, the Phoenix Hawk had become such a popular design that Earthwerks Incorporated, upon whose chassis the Phoenix Hawk was originally based, was already producing the ‘Mech out of their Keystone facility. Both Coventry Metal Works, who ironically also produced the Stinger, and Achernar BattleMechs also obtained licenses from Orguss during the time of the Star League. Notable ‘Mechs and MechWarriors: First Lieutenant Angel “Redemption” Salazaar Much like its namesake, Salazaar’s Phoenix Hawk, “Bennu,” died in fire only to reborn again. Heavily damaged, Northwind Highlander technicians replaced the GM 270 with a much lighter GM 180 from a Vindicator. This freed up sufficient space to install a pair of Arrowlite SRM-6s from a salvaged Javelin in the chest of “Bennu,” fed by the modified center torso ammunition bin formerly used by the machine guns. Also added was another half-ton of armor to provide additional protection for the head, arms, and legs. What makes it particularly remarkable is that “Bennu” retains the full 180 meter jump capacity, although due to the less powerful engine, two additional exhaust ports were added, giving it a total of eight exhaust ports. It also retains the three-ton free gyro of the original. The additional weapons have resulted in many a surprised, and subsequently defeated MechWarrior.
