WVE-5Nx Wyvern History: Maltex Corporation, the manufacturer of the Wyvern, got its start producing BattleMechs in 2572 with its introduction of the 80-ton Thug. Intended to both replace and improve upon the venerable Warhammer, the Thug was quickly accepted by a nascent Star League Defense Force and went on to become one of their most sought after and combat effective assault BattleMechs. The design proved so successful in fact, that Maltex’s assembly lines on Errai were unable to keep up with demand, and they were subsequently forced to license the design to Earthwerks Incorporated who began producing the Thug out of their massive industrial complex on Keystone in what is now the Free Worlds League. Almost a hundred years would pass before the introduction of Maltex Corporation’s next BattleMech. In 2660, they unveiled a tough 45-ton jump-capable urban fighter, the WVE-5N Wyvern. While slower than most other medium ‘Mechs, the Wyvern carries enormous firepower and its 9.5 tons of Kilosh 1000 armor offers best-in-class protection. Both torsos are also equipped with CASE to protect against a catastrophic ammunition explosion. Armed with a Nighwind heavy laser, a Jackson Dart LRM-10, a Totschlagen-6 SRM-6, backed up with a pair of Starflash light lasers, the Wyvern can engage enemies at any range and is capable not only of easily destroying ‘Mechs equal and lighter than itself, but can also engage heavier ‘Mechs with a reasonable chance of success. The Star League generals who witnessed its field tests were so impressed they immediately asked Maltex Corporation to create a special “Royal” variant incorporating the latest BattleMech technology. The same year the -5N was released, Maltex also began delivery of the -5Nb variant to select SLDF Royal Divisions. While both models were built around an Endo-Steel chassis and protected with Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment, the -5Nb featured an Extra-light fusion engine. This allowed the Nightwind heavy laser to be replaced by a state-of-the-art Tronel XIII large pulse laser. One of the Starflash lasers was also upgraded to a medium, and an additional heat sink was also installed. Maltex Corporation would continue developing new BattleMechs for the Star League, their next design taking square aim at a replacement for the aging Stinger and Wasp BattleMechs that had been in use for centuries. 2676 ushered in the 40-ton ASN-21 Assassin. Leveraging their success with both the Thug and Wyvern, Maltex lobbyists had little trouble convincing the Star League quartermasters the Assassin would be the premier reconnaissance and scout hunter BattleMech. Indeed, on paper the Assassin appeared formidable. Weighing 40-tons with a top speed of almost 120 kph and equipped with weapons that allowed it to engage at any range, it could jump over 200 meters, making it second only to the Spider in terms of maneuverability. Unfortunately, in order make the cost more attractive when compared to the inexpensive Wasp and Stinger, Maltex Corporation cut corners in the manufacturing process anywhere and everywhere possible, resulting in numerous components that frequently failed prematurely. When these failures began affecting the life support system, the SLDF launched an investigation of the assembly lines where they discovered that a number of sub-standard components. The assembly lines were temporarily closed and production of the Assassin ground to halt. Maltex Corporation eventually overhauled the life support system, but even then the cockpit remains incredibly cramped and the ‘Mech has a reputation for spending as much time in the repair bay as it does on the field. Nonetheless, due to it’s speed and jump capacity, the Assassin proved a superb reconnaissance ‘Mech whenever it did manage to take the field. Production never reached full capacity and eventually Maltex abandoned the design entirely, selling it to Hellespont Industrials based on Sian in the Capellan Confederation. Maltex Corporation would go on to release a “Royal” variant of the Thug just before the Amaris Civil War, making it one of only a few BattleMechs to carry the vaunted Tiegart Magnum extended range particle cannon. Following the fall of the Star League, Maltex was forced to downgrade the Wyvern, creating the -6N in 2821, and returned to producing the original -11E Thug shortly before their headquarters were destroyed in 2835. 111 Notable ‘Mechs and MechWarriors: Captain Laurent Lafoe When the First St. Ives Lancers were rebuilt for the second time following their hard fought defense of Spica against the Ceti Hussars, among the replacement BattleMechs was a 45-ton Wyvern. Pulling rank, the recently dispossessed Captain Laurent Lafoe immediately claimed it for himself only to discover the ‘Mech was barely operational. Its ancient fusion reactor was leaking dangerous amounts of radiation as well as heat, the Jackson Dart LRM-10 feed mechanism was a tangled mess and the heavy laser’s cooling jacket was all but non-existent. Pulling rank again, Captain Lafoe ordered the Lancer technicians to take whatever they needed from the unit stockpiles in order to get his new Wyvern fully operational. Pulling a salvaged CoreTek 275, along with the Northrup 12000 jump jets from a scrapped Davion Wolverine, they managed to get the Wyvern mobile. Next, turning to an ancient and battered Assassin that had long been a maintenance nightmare, the technicians removed both the Holly LRM-5 and Holly SRM-2, installing them in the torso of the Wyvern. Finally, they repurposed a ChisComp 43 Special heavy laser to replace the damaged and bulky Nightwind in the right arm. Covering it with nine tons of Starshield armor, also taken from a scavenged Davion Enforcer, they completed the refurbishment of Captain Lafore’s Wyvern. While the rebuilt Wyvern has successfully completed its field trials, it remains to be seen how well it will hold together in combat. Where the original Wyvern was known best as a urban street fighter, the rebuilt Wyvern’s profile makes it much more suited for reconnaissance and quick strikes.
