WSP-2B Wasp History: The Wasp is the oldest continuously produced BattleMech in the Inner Sphere. It is also the most common. First built by General Mechanics on Mars in 2464 only a scant 25 years after the introduction of the MSK-5S Mackie, it was the first ‘Mech to mount jump jets although the technology was fraught with problems at the time. By 2471, General Mechanics had largely resolved the problems with the Rawlings jump jets, and rolled out the now familiar Second Generation WSP-1A Wasp. Often found in the role of scout or raider, the pilot must rely on their jump capability to get them out of harm’s way given the mediocre ground speed and light armor of the unit. With the debut of their 55-ton KTO-19 Kintaro in 2587, General Mechanics would go on to be the first company to introduce another new revolutionary BattleMech technology, the Narc Missile Beacon. The Kintaro was built from the ground up with a single purpose: to tag enemy units with a missile homing Narc Pod. Once tagged, the Pod serves as a virtual missile magnet drawing missiles to itself and significantly increasing the number of both short range and long range missiles that strike the target. The KTO-19 itself could fire a volley of 12 SRMs and 5 LRMs, but it was almost always accompanied by heavier fire support units, such as Archers or even tracked LRM carriers. General Mechanics’ facilities on Mars were believed to have been destroyed in 2767 during the fighting for the Terra system, and in any case, the last munitions plant capable of producing the highly specialized Narc Missile Pods was gone by 2792. The company’s legacy lives on, though. Given the age of the Wasp and the sheer number that have been produced over the centuries, anyone who was interested has been able to reverse engineer its construction. Archernar BatteMechs, Irian BattleMechs, Kali Yama Weapons and numerous Periphery based manufacturers all currently produce the Wasp. In addition, General Dynamics recently resurrected the Kintaro, building a new facility from equipment decontaminated and salvaged and the ruins of the famous Diplan ‘MechYards on Ozawa. Unfortunately this version, the KTO-18, is a significant downgrade from the original due to the loss of the Narc Missile Beacon. Capabilities: Weighing 20-tons and protected with only three tons of Durallex Light armor, the Wasp is easy prey for just about any other BattleMech it may encounter. Every reconnaissance pilot knows the value of speed both for covering vast tracts of territory as well as extracting oneself from dangerous situations. In 2632, Irian BattleMechs commissioned the HER-1S Hermes for the Star League Defense Force. Weighing 30-tons with a top speed of over 150 kph, the Hermes was the fastest ‘Mech ever made. Built on an advanced lightweight chassis, the secrets of its manufacture fell along with the Star League and Irian BattleMechs was forced to end production, replacing it with its heavier and much slower cousin, the HER-2S Hermes II beginning in 2798. The WSP-2B Wasp brings back the legendary speed of the HER-1S. Replacing the original GM 120 fusion engine with the more powerful 180 found in the Vindicator, the WSP-2B has a top sustained ground speed of a blistering 151.2 kph. Its cruising speed approaches 100 kph, equaling the top speed of the original -1A. The troublesome Rawlings 52 jump jets have been removed to make the space necessary for the larger power plant. Armed with two Diverse Optics Type 2 Medium Lasers and backed up by an arm mounted Olympian Flamer, it carries twice the firepower of its brother. The medium lasers serve as a deterrent against other light ‘Mechs, while the flamer is a strong defensive weapon, especially effective against unarmored targets such as infantry. Variants: Engineers working for House Liao introduced the -1L variant in 2799. It replaces both original weapons with a single SRM-4 with one ton of ammunition. The version used by the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery, carrying the -1K designation, replaces the Bical 33 Twin-Rack with a machine gun and a half ton of ammunition. This allows the armor to be upgraded to the thicker 1/Star Slab commonly found on the Locust, giving it a full 25% more protection than the original and providing it with potent anti-infantry capabilities. It was first seen in 2818. The Federated Suns variant, introduced in 2823, also replaces the Bical Twin-Rack. Twin small lasers and a flamer are mounted in the left torso giving this version significantly more firepower, albeit at a shorter range.
