WVR-6Rx Wolverine History: Released in 2575 by Kallon Industries, few ‘Mechs have as long and successful a track record as the 55-ton Wolverine. Originally designed as a fast strike or heavy reconnaissance BattleMech, the Wolverine’s blend of speed, jump capacity, and firepower make the ‘Mech a success in just about every role on the battlefield. Equally at home with a 20-ton Stinger as with a 75-ton Marauder, the Wolverine has been put to the test in every major conflict from the Star League Reunification Wars to the current Succession Wars. One of its many keys to success is its use of the Tek BattleCom communications suite and Tek Tru-Trak targeting and tracking system. Found originally on Orguss’ Industries 45-ton Phoenix Hawk, the Tek electronics are ideal for reconnaissance work and with the BattleCom’s ability to coordinate communications at the company level, many commanders also select this BattleMech for their own personal use. Armed with a detachable GM Whirlwind Class 5 autocannon carried in the ‘Mechs right arm, the Wolverine can begin engaging opponents almost 550 meters away, giving it longer range than most other scout ‘Mechs while allowing it provide direct fire support to advancing friendly ‘Mechs. In addition, the weapon can be dropped if damaged or to free up the hand for physical attacks and it may even be carried in the left hand for MechWarriors who prefer it. The ammunition is carried in a “clip” attached directly to the weapon and it is even possible for a MechWarrior to reload this weapon himself provided another “clip” is available. At closer ranges, the Wolverine can bring its Harpoon SRM-6 and Magna Mk II medium laser into play as well. The design is not without a few flaws, notably the Northrup 12000 jump jets. While capable of leaping up to 150 meters, a full jump places a serious strain on the exhaust ports. Operating the jump jets at full thrust for extended periods is known to cause premature failure of the ports, often caused by the partial melting of the vents themselves. In addition, the ball-turret mounting of the medium laser can occasionally cause damage to the ‘Mech itself if the MechWarrior is not careful. While it originally provided a full 360 degree firing arc, when the Harpoon-6 and electronics blister were later added, the ability to fire in the rear arc was interrupted. The Wolverine has been around long enough that a number of variants have been developed over the years. The first, the -6K introduced by House Kurita in 2598, eliminates the high maintenance jump jets, as well as the autocannon, in favor of a heavy laser, a second medium laser, and a small laser. Two more heats sinks are added as well, giving it a total of 14, and the armor is changed to the much heavier Valiant Lamellor often seen on the Marauder. In 2770, during the thick of the Amaris Civil War, the SLDF turned to Kallon Industries for a “Royal” version of their trusty Wolverine. The WVR-7H, often called the “Wolverine II,” was a quick but effective upgrade of the original. Built on an Endo-Steel chassis and utilizing Ferro-Fibrous armor, the original Whirlwind was replaced by a Kawabata Weapons Ultra Class 5 autocannon. With fully twice the rate of fire as the old autocannon, the ammunition capacity was doubled as well. The Harpoon-6 was enhanced with the Artemis IV Fire Control System, and the medium laser replaced by a medium pulse model. It carries 10 double strength heat sinks, nine tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor and is protected with CASE. The last variant to be developed was the -6M by House Marik in 2816. With the “Royal” variant nothing but a ghost as this point, Kallon engineers on Thermopolis also chose to replace the autocannon of the -6R, this time with a Magna Mk III heavy laser. Switching to a significantly lighter weapon system and eliminating the associated ammunition allowed the engineers to also install a second medium laser, two more heat sinks, and upgrade the protection by a full ton. Notable ‘Mechs and MechWarriors: Captain Jochen “E3” Vettel A captain with the Eleventh Arcturan Guards, Captain Vettel originally piloted a TDR-5S Thunderbolt, which he’d taken to calling “Alison.” In fact, Vettel was so deeply in love with the traditionally Capellan ‘Mech, that he had the unit chaplain conduct a marriage ceremony, following his Lutheran upbringing, where he pledged, “I will respect, trust, help, and care for you; I will share my 119 life with you; through the best and worst of what is to come, and as long as we live." Unfortunately, nine months later the First Oriente Hussars attacked Dixie in hopes of wrestling the planet, and it’s long since looted Castle Brian, away from the Lyran Commonwealth. Leading a valiant counterattack that blunted the advance of the Hussars and allowed the Guards enough time to reform their shattered lines, “Alison” was destroyed. But not before scoring a lance worth of kills against the Hussars, claiming a Wolverine, Trebuchet, Hermes II, and a Vulcan before finally succumbing. Seeing the heartbroken Captain Vettel grieving the loss of his “wife,” but having saved the Eleventh Arcturan Guard from a humiliating defeat, Colonel Tobias Henreich ordered the Arcturan technicians to do anything and everything possible to bring “Alison” back to life. Upon examining the remains, it was discovered the structure of the T-Bolt was so thoroughly destroyed no amount of work, short of an entirely new chassis, was going to be able to bring it back. If fact, more than one technician observed just how amazing it was that the Captain had even survived. Turning their sights on the salvaged Marik Wolverine, one particularly gifted technician remarked she thought it might be possible to transform the 55-ton ‘Mech into a miniature Thunderbolt. Pulling off “Alison’s” remaining weapons, the Arcturan engineers began bolting, shoving, stuffing, and cramming them into the Crucis-A chassis, stripping out the troublesome Northrup 12000 jump jets in the process. Scavenging an old DAV 220 fusion engine from an ancient Star League era Demon fighting vehicle, they replaced the original CoreTek 275, adding three more heat sinks and a half ton of armor in the process. A grateful Captain Vettel kissed each tech, then greeted his “wife.” He has slept in the cockpit ever since refusing to be parted ever again.
