ARC-2Rx Archer History: The ARC-2R is of the oldest BattleMechs still in production. Introduced in 2474 by Earthwerks Incorporated, it has come to define what a fire support ‘Mech should be. It is also the first BattleMech to be designed and built from the ground up based on the Second Generation of BattleMech technology. Carrying a pair of Doombud LRM-20s, each fed with two full tons of ammunition, the Archer can sustain a devastating barrage of missile fire for two full minutes. Often used to bombard enemy fortifications or heavily entrenched units, the Archer also carries a pair of Diverse Optics Type 18 medium lasers for close combat, and another pair mounted in the rear center torso. When it was first released, the Archer was considered an assault class BattleMech and it’s 13 tons of Maximillan 100 armor makes it among the most heavily protected ‘Mechs of all time. If the Archer has a shortcoming, it is in the number of heat sinks it carries. Equipped with only the standard 10 heat sinks built in its Vox 280 fusion engine, the Archer will steadily build up heat during a sustained barrage, although with only two forward facing medium lasers, this is rarely a problem during close combat. To make it a more formidable and versatile ‘Mech at close range, the Earthwerk engineers equipped the Archer with a full set of arm actuators including two heavily armored battle fists. This enables the 70-ton ‘Mech to deliver punishing physical attacks with little worry of damaging the ‘Mech. The designers also placed the cockpit beneath the center torso, with the main armor belt running above it to protect the delicate gyro assembly and expensive fusion engine. It is interesting to note that over time the Archer has become one of the ‘Mechs favored by field commanders. This is due in large part to its ability to provide massive indirect fire support to friendly units while staying well back from the front lines thus allowing commanders to relatively safe as they watch the battle unfold. For being such an old design, surprisingly few variants of the Archer were ever produced, a testament to the effectiveness of the original design. Predictably, however, the Star League Defense Force did commission a “Royal” variant of the vaunted fire support ‘Mech, although for some reason they would wait until 2752 before doing so. Carrying the ARC-2Rb designation and built using an Endo-Steel chassis, the - 2Rb retains the two original LRM-20s but enhances them both with the Artemis IV Fire Control System, increasing the number of missiles that strike the target by 35%. An additional ton of LRM ammunition was added at the expense of one of the rear mounted medium lasers and the chassis is fully protected by CASE. Finally, the heat sinks were upgraded to double strength versions, taking an already daunting ‘Mech and making it even more effective. Fairly recently, however, the Draconis Combine began retrofitting their existing stock of Archers beginning in 2856. The ARC-2K downgrades both LRM-20s to LRM- 15s while upgrading the two medium lasers to heavy lasers. Both rear mounted medium lasers are removed, as well as two tons of armor, but two additional heat sinks have been added. This gives the -2K substantially more staying power on the field allowing it to provide medium range direct fire support with its heavy lasers. Notable ‘Mech and MechWarriors Mechwarrior Yuan Li Blandford's Grenadiers trace their roots back to the Tikonov Union that existed before the formation of the Capellan Confederation. In 2368 the unit was absorbed into the Capellan Hussars, the most prestigious brigade in the CCAF and based on the strategically important world of Sarna, the home of Tengo Aerospace. The Grenadiers are noted for their successful defense of Lee against the Fifth Davion Guards in 2802-03. Just seven years later the Grenadiers would go on to destroy Edom’s Bandits, a mercenary unit employed by the Free Worlds League, during the Bandit’s attempted conquest of Sirius. Most recently, In 2854 the Grenadiers would go on a deep penetration raid, striking deep into the heart of Davion space and destroying yet another mercenary outfit, this time Tamara's Black Sword in the employ of House Davion on Carver V. 123 As befitting such a successful regiment, the Grenadiers get priority access to the best equipment the Capellan Confederation can produce. Mechwarrior Yuan Li, a member of the Grenadiers, piloted an ARC-2R Archer until it suffered a devastating ammunition explosion fighting against elements of the Second Free World Guards on Tsinghai. The explosion destroyed the entire left side of his BattleMech including both legs. While Li ejected successfully, the neural feedback from the detonation of the ammunition left him in a coma for almost a month. The explosion was not caused by enemy fire. Rather Li stared down an approaching Guard striker lance, unleashing a non-stop barrage of LRMs, bringing down both a Wolverine and Trebuchet before being forced to switch over to short range missiles where he accounted for the destruction of a Hermes II before his Crusader critically overheated, detonating its ammunition. His heroic stand bought enough time for reinforcements to arrive, and ultimately the Guard thrust was pushed back. A thankful Grenadier commander ordered the reconstruction of what was left of his Archer. What the technicians had however, was a surplus of Crusader parts and a serious lack of Archer parts. Consequently, the techs were forced to rebuild Li’s Archer by fusing it with a number of Crusader limbs, including both legs and the entire left side. The resulting ‘Mech is as much, if not more Crusader than Archer. When Li awoke from his coma, the first thing he asked about was his beloved ‘Mech. Upon seeing the rebuilt machine, he immediately named it “Arcinstein.” “Arcinstein” still carries the original LRM-20 and medium laser from the Archer, but now also has a LRM-15, SRM- 6, and a machine gun from a Crusader. Since then, it has seen a number of minor engagement and performed well. How long it will hold together still remains to be seen.
