KTO-18x Kintaro History: General Mechanics is best known for the design and manufacture of the iconic 20-ton Wasp, which remains one of the most common BattleMechs in the Inner Sphere today. Introduced in 2464, it was the first jump capable BattleMech ever created, although it would take until 2471 before the technology was truly reliable. Another 123 years would pass before General Mechanics designed and produced another BattleMech at their facility on Mars and by then they had licensed the Wasp to numerous other defense contractors throughout the Successor Houses and even in the Periphery. In 2587 General Mechanics not only unveiled the 55-ton KTO-19 Kintaro but also introduced a way to dramatically increase the accuracy of long-range and short-range missiles. The Narc Missile Beacon consists of a threeton launcher that fires special “pods” with magnetic heads. These pods are actually powerful homing beacons that work in tandem with Narc-equipped missiles. Once a “pod” is attached to a target, it emits a widerange electromagnetic beacon that can be tracked by a modified guidance package installed in standard long and short-range missiles. While these guidance packages roughly double the costs of the munitions, it results in much higher percentage of missiles striking the target. In addition, since the homing beacon is attached to the target, there is almost no way for the target to stop the beacon from broadcasting, making it, literally, a magnet for missiles. The KTO-19 Kintaro was designed around the Narc Missile Beacon, the launcher being installed in its heavily armored chest. It has one mission, and one mission only, to successfully attach homing beacons to enemy ‘Mechs. While the KTO-19 carries a complement of two HoverTec-6 SRM launchers and single Holly 5 LRM system, it’s invariably found the company of other larger missile carrying ‘Mechs such as the Trebuchet, Crusader, Archer, or even the 80-ton Longbow, which are expected to actually deal the killing blow. To help with its mission, the designers gave it a top speed of 86.4 kph and covered it with 11 tons of top-ofthe-line Leopard V Ferro-Fibrous armor, giving it almost the maximum amount of armor the Technicron-1 chassis can carry. In practice, however, Kintaro pilots often found it difficult to disengage an enemy ‘Mech after “tagging” it. Lacking jump jets and with only average speed for a 55-ton ‘Mech, many Kintaros were destroyed after delivering their specialized payload. The KTO-19 is also heavily dependent on logistical support. While it carries a pair of medium lasers on its right arm, all of it major weapon systems are ammunition dependent, giving it limited range. To make matters worse, the Kintaro only carries six of the advanced homing beacons for its Narc launcher. Once these six pods are gone, so is the Kintaro. In 2731, General Dynamics delivered the KTO-19b to the SLDF Royal Brigades. Using a CoreTek 275XL engine and dual strength heat sinks, the -19b upgrades the original Holly LRM-5 to a full 15-rack with two tons of ammunition. It also adds CASE to both torsos and increases the armor by a half-ton. The fall of the Star League less than 50 years later was not kind to the Kintaro. When the last Narc munitions factory was destroyed during the First Succession War, the Kintaro became just another missile boat, and its importance, as well as its numbers, steadily declined. Combined with the fact General Dynamics’ sole production facility was located on Mars, the Kintaro became virtually extinct. Eventually, however, General Dynamics managed to rebuild a production line on Ozawa, in the Federated Suns, from which they produce the downgraded KTO-18 Kintaro. Lacking the sophisticated Narc Missile Beacon and Ferro-Fibrous armor of the original, the -18 replaces the Missile Beacon with a third HoverTec-6 SRM launcher, allow it to launch an astounding 18 short-range missiles at a time. The armor is also replaced with standard resulting in a loss of protection as well. Notable ‘Mech and MechWarriors Lord George Subraj Lord Subraj traces his family’s roots back to the commanding officer of the SLDF 42nd Striker Regiment, which along with the 10th Heavy Assault Regiment, declined General Aleksandr Kerensky’s invitation to join him on his famous Exodus. The two regiments combined to form the 12 th Star Guards and took up immediate employment with the Capellan Confederation guarding a dozen different worlds. Subraj’s Kintaro also traces its origin back to the SLDF, having been built in 2653 at the now defunct General Mechanics plant on Mars. Over the intervening centuries, his ‘Mech has been modified time and time again as the supply of parts dwindled, others became almost impossible to find, and still others, such as the Narc launcher and pods, became extinct. The current incarnation of his Kintaro still retains the ‘Mechs original design concept, carrying an almost exclusively missile based loadout of weapons. Four Holly LRM-5s provide better long range fire support than the original model, while a pair of Holly SRM-4s provide close range firepower. The only original weapons left are the two Magna medium lasers carried on the right arm. The speed and number of heat sinks remain unchanged while the armor is now the commonly available Starshield. The key to his ‘Mechs longevity is the Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment built into both torsos of the 55-ton ‘Mech. CASE has prevented his Kintaro from being reduced to scrap countless times over its long life, but it remains to be seen how much longer Subraj can maintain the lostech protection system.
