the Star League having taken the Hegemony’s lessons of Operation Prometheus to heart. Ironically, it was once again the Lyrans who managed to pry secrets out of the Star League’s iron grip, this time the zero-gravity production process required for the manufacture of Endo-Steel. Archon Tracial Steiner awarded this valuable information to Coventry Defense Conglomerate, now calling itself Coventry Metal Works, with the understanding they would develop a mobile third generation BattleMech exclusively for the LCAF. As part of their own research and development for this next generation ‘Mech, Coventry Metal Works made their own new metallurgic discovery, Ferro-Fibrous armor, an improved armor composite made from a weave of steel, titanium, and diamond fibers. Thicker than traditional armor, it offers 12% more protection than a comparable amount of traditional armor, allowing a ‘Mech to either enjoy greater protection for the same weight, or reduce the amount of armor carried in favor of additional weapons or heat sinks without sacrificing protection. Coventry Metal Works would incorporate both Endo- Steel and Ferro-Fibrous in the construction of the 55-ton AL-A1 Alfar. Kong Interstellar’s BL-6-KNT Black Knight. The first BattleMech designed from the ground up to serve as a command ‘Mech, it wasn’t the Endo-Steel chassis that made it remarkable, but the suite of advanced electronics it carried. Together, the powerful TransComm Alpha communication system and the TransComm Beta targeting and tracking system could coordinate BattleMech activity at the company and even battalion level. It could also serve as a limited mobile headquarters, linking together the various command frequencies used across an entire regiment while also providing the ability to communicate with orbiting satellites, space stations, DropShips, and aerospace units. Black Knight was designed to provide a commander with all the information necessary to make the best tactical decisions and allow those decisions to be quickly and efficiently communicated to the larger formation, making it one of most highly sought after ‘Mechs of its time. Krupp Interstellar, based on Terra with production facilities on Mars, unveiled the next major advance in BattleMech construction in 2581 with the 60-ton LNC25- 01 Lancelot. With a top speed of almost 100 kph, it was the first heavy ‘Mech capable of reaching such high speeds. The secret was the lightweight Hermes 360XL fusion engine. Constructed using a newly developed crystalline polymer, similar to that found in double heat sinks, instead of the traditional heavy tungsten carbide, the Hermes 360XL weighed only half that of a standard fusion engine. While significantly more bulky than a traditional power plant, the massive weight savings allowed engineers considerably more flexibility in BattleMech design. Not only was the Lancelot shockingly fast, it carried a formidable array of weapons including two Krupp Model 32 “Fur Burner” large lasers, and a powerful Kinslaughter PPC. The installation of 13 double strength heat sinks ensured the Lancelot could effectively utilize its devastating firepower making it one of the most dangerous BattleMechs on the field. AL-A1 Alfar Even the original Mackie would be updated with CASE in 2576 in order to increase its survivability, but the next major change came in 2578 with the announcement of BL-6-KNT Black Knight The Black Knight was also the first BattleMech to carry the sophisticated Beagle Active Probe. Seamlessly integrated with the TransComm Beta, the two systems work hand-in-hand to detect and identify enemy units even when they are camouflaged or shut down. At the same time, the Active Probe also significantly boosts the range at which targets can be acquired and tracked. Just as important, however, is its ability to burn through electronic jamming systems, which were becoming increasingly prevalent at this time, although the sophisticated Guardian ECM Suite would have to wait until 2599 to be incorporated by Orguss Industries in the upgraded PXH-2 Phoenix Hawk. All considered, the 10 LNC25-01 Lancelot
