GLT-3Nx Guillotine History: The GLT-3N Guillotine was the first Third Generation BattleMech produced. Introduced in 2499 by Newhart Industries, it was built on a Crucis-I Endo Steel chassis, marking the first ever use of the advanced steel, titanium, and aluminum composite. The highly complex manufacturing process for Endo Steel requires Zero-G conditions in order to attain a uniform mix of the different metals. The resulting material weighs only half as much as the traditional foamed aluminum core sheathed in titanium-steel internal structure. Although the resulting skeleton is physically larger and bulkier than standard structure, the 50% weight savings is more than worth the loss of space. While it would seem plausible that Endo-Steel would eventually have become the “standard” for internal structure, the orbital facilities required for its manufacture made a whole sale switchover cost prohibitive. Even at the height of the Star League, the necessary orbital manufacturing facilities were relatively rare. Furthermore, the Terran Hegemony who pioneered Endo-Steel, jealously guarded its advanced military technology, much as did its successor the Star League. Consequently, the secrets of manufacturing Endo Steel would remain tightly controlled until 2573, when the Lyran Commonwealth unveiled the 55-ton AL-A1 Alfar, a product of Coventry Metal Works. Unfortunately, the Alfar relied heavily on non-standard components and proved to be a logistical nightmare to support. Few were made, and none survived the First Succession War. On the other hand, the Guillotine went to become the standard heavy ‘Mech of the SLDF, serving with distinction for literally hundreds of years and seeing extensive combat in every major SLDF campaign. The key to its extraordinary success lies in its mobility and heavy armor. While capable of a top speed of clost o 65 kph, the Anderson 398 jump jets give it a jump capacity of 120 meters, a rare thing to find on a 70-ton BattleMech. As the SLDF brought faster units online, the Guillotine saw its role change from that of the front-lines to that of a heavy raider. The jump capability made the Guillotine ideal for operations in heavily wooded and steep terrain. With twelve tons of thick Ultston Prime armor, the Guillotine could absorb tremendous amounts of damage and still remain functional. Armed with a Sunglow Type 2 heavy laser, four ExoStar II medium lasers, and a top-of-the-line Coventry-6 SRM launcher, the Guillotine carried enough firepower to demand the respect of its opponents although its range is somewhat limited and it performed best when partnered with long range fire support units such as the Bombardier, Crusader, or Archer. Over the years, however, a number of problems cropped up with its weapons systems. The Sunglow’s power cables run uncomfortably close to the shoulder and when lifting the right arm above its head, the power cables have been known to snap. Experienced pilots rarely experience this problem, knowing to simply lower the arm and try again, but those unaware of this problem can render the laser inoperable. The Conventry-6 also had an intermittent glitch in the arming regulator. Occasionally missiles five and six will fail to arm in the launcher. Though countless attempts have been made to locate the cause of the seemingly random failure, nothing short of replacing the entire launcher has seemed to resolve it. Regardless, the design proved so popular that Newhart Industries was unable to keep up with demand from the massive SLDF and was forced to license the design to both Irian Technologies and Lycomb-Davion IntroTech which began producing the ‘Mech out of Irian and Demeter respectively. After serving for nearly 300 years, the Amaris Civil War and the subsequent fighting caused by the fall of the Star League left both Newhart Industries and Lycomb- Davion’s Demeter facility in smoking ruins. In 2825, Irian Technologies would finally be forced to abandon the -3N due to the technological decline of the Succession Wars, and begin producing the downgraded GLT-4L variant which lacked the Endo Steel chassis and CASE. 125 Notable ‘Mechs and MechWarriors: Major Alex Martinez A member of the Third Fusiliers of Oriente, Martinez’s Guillotine, aptly named “Anne Boleyn,” has been passed down through his family for generations. One of the original GLT-3N models, Boleyn retains the rare Crucis I Endo-Steel chassis although it had been patched numerous times. The Martinez family keep a constant watch for salvaged Endo-Steel parts in order to maintain the integrity of the lostech chassis. The chassis, along with the jump jets and cockpit electronics are about all the remain true to the original equipment. Captain Martinez’s Guilotine was badly damaged by the superior range of a Capellan JagerMech, which he later claimed as salvage, during fighting on Ipswich against the Liao Guard. Forced to rebuild the entire torso and with a new found respect for long range autocannons, Martinez ordered the Fusilier’s technicians to incorporate the JagerMechs autocannons into his Guillotine. With much banging and cussing, the technicians eventually succeded in relocating the Jager’s Mydron Model C and Model D autocannons into the chest cavity. However, in order to make space for the heavy ballistic weapons, the VOX 280 was removed and replaced with a GM 210 taken from a Firestarter, resulting in a significantly slower top speed. The troublesome Sunglow Type 2 heavy laser, in fact much of the entire left arm assembly, was repalced by a Magna Mk III large laser taken from a Rifleman, while the two medium lasers in the other arm where replaced with a pair of Magna Mk I light lights from a scrapped Capellan Warhammer.
