PNT-9Y Panther History: The PNT-8Z Panther was commissioned by the Star League in 2739 to provide mobile fire support for light BattleMech lances. It would have to wait twenty years, however, before it would see get to see its first action along the Periphery border in 2759. On St. John, the Panther was involved in heavy fighting against bandits coming from the Draconian Rift region. The battle revealed both the greatest weakness as well as the greatest strength of the design. Its main weapon, a Tronel heavy laser slung underneath its right arm, proved to generate disproportionate amounts of heat when fired repeatedly. While the Tronel had been used successfully on other ‘Mechs, most notably the 75 ton Black Knight, when engineers at Alshain Weaponry modified its housing to make it compact enough to be carried by a light ‘Mech they seriously compromised the cooling jacket causing chronic overheating problems. The problem was so severe Alshain Weaponry immediately revised the design, replacing the Tronel III with a Lord’s Light particle cannon and changing the designation to the PNT-9R. The decision to switch to using a PPC was vindicated almost immediately. Many Star League officials were convinced that the use of such a heavy and heat intensive weapon system on a light ‘Mech would lead to even more problems. However, once the revised PNT- 9R returned to the frontlines, its performance was astonishing. Always intended to serve as a light, direct fire support unit, the PPC gave the Panther both greater range and increased damage and all for less heat than the faulty Tronel III heavy laser had produced. The fighting on St. John had also revealed the Panther’s greatest strength. The original -8Z carried 7.5 tons of Starshield armor, the absolute maximum the Alshain 56- Carrier chassis could support. It would prove to be the ‘Mech’s saving grace on St. John, allowing the 35-ton machine to absorb tremendous amounts of damage while still remaining operational. While its top speed is considerably less than that of other light ‘Mechs, its mobility is helped significantly by the four Lexington Lifter jump jets carried in its legs. For the most part, when Alshain engineers revised the design, they kept the heavy protection. The -9R uses 6.5 tons of Maximillian 42, which still places it among the most heavily armored light ‘Mechs in production. After the fall of the Star League, the Draconis Combine found itself in possession of both of Alshain Weaponry’s ‘Mech production facilities, consisting of their headquarters on Alshain and a smaller secondary facility on New Oslo. As the sole producer of the Panther, over time it has come to be regarded as almost an exclusively Combine design, and is rarely seen outside of the DCMS. Often paired with the swift and agile 35-ton Jenner, another common Kurita design, the combination of speed and firepower between the two ‘Mechs has earned the respect of MechWarriors throughout the Inner Sphere and have provided Lord Kurita many with victories. The Lyrans in particular have learned to treat the 35-ton ‘Mech with respect. Known for lurking in the streets and alleys of cities, the Lyrans have taken to calling the Panther the “Alley Cat” for its ability to suddenly ambush its opponents and then quickly jump away, disappearing back into the urban jungle. Capabilities: The loss of the Combine’s last Jenner factory in 2848 combined with the destruction of the massive Diplan ‘Mechyards of Ozawa just over 10 years earlier, left the Panther as the sole light BattleMech produced within the borders of the Draconis Combine. While hundreds, if not thousands, of Jenners still serve in the DMCS, due to simple attrition, their numbers are steadily dwindling leaving them to be replaced with PNT- 9R Panthers. Due to its speed, which tracks much more closely with that of heavy class BattleMechs, the Panther makes a poor choice for reconnaissance work, traditionally one of the strengths of light BattleMechs. In fact, it is not unusual within the DCMS to see a Jenner replaced with an 80-ton Charger, an assault ‘Mech with a greater top 45 speed than the 35-ton Panther. The 60-ton Quickdraw, produced by Luthien Armor Works, is not only faster, but can also out jump the Panther by a good 30 meters. Concerned by the loss of their fastest BattleMech model, the DCMS tasked Alshain Weaponry with developing a version of the Panther suitable for use as a scout or fast raider. Alshain Weaponry exceeded these expectations with the introduction of the PNT-9Y. Built around a much more powerful engine, the GM 210, the -9Y has a top speed of close to 100 kph. Two additional Lexington Lifter jump jet exhaust ports have also been installed, giving the -9Y a full 180 meter jump capacity. While not quite the equal of the agile Jenner, this brings the Panther’s mobility inline with most other reconnaissance units. However, the increase in speed comes at the expense of its armament. The popular and compact Lord’s Light PPC has been exchanged for a Harmon heavy laser, a weapon that’s been carried with great success by the Phoenix Hawk for hundreds of years. The original Telos Four-Shot SRM-4 has been downgraded to the Bical SRM Twin-Rack used on the commonplace Wasp. After the debacle with the Tronel heavy laser on the original -8Z, Alshain engineers were careful to use only the most tried and tested weapon systems on their new design. Variants: None.
