VL-3W Vulcan History: The Vulcan was conceived as an anti-infantry BattleMech. Designed by MatherTechno Incorporated on Northwind, it reached the front lines just as General Kerensky was making his final assault on Terra. There it earned its reputation as a tough urban fighter in the bitter street by street city fighting that marked the end of the bloody Amaris Civil War. As General Kerensky’s forces fought their way through the Terran Hegemony, the need for such a specialized anti-infantry ‘Mech became painfully obvious. Heavily armed infantry were well entrenched in the cities of the Hegemony, and a surprising number of BattleMechs met their fate in the face of their concentrated and concerted firepower, especially in the narrow streets and alleys of the cities. Armed with a Firestorm flamer in the right arm, and a SperryBrowning machine gun in the left, the Vulcan can lay down a withering field of anti-infantry fire in a full 300 degree arc as it advances. Its five tons of StarGuard I armor give it adequate protection against soft targets but any MechWarrior who chooses to engage another BattleMech or even a main battle tank will quickly find themselves in danger of critical damage. The Armstrong light autocannon, backed up by a single Randell medium laser, were originally intended to give the Vulcan some anti-‘Mech capability. In reality, however, they lack the power to make the Vulcan a serious threat, even to units lighter than itself. This is especially true given the lack of articulated hands, leaving the Vulcan at a severe disadvantage in physical combat as well. MatherTechno Industries assembly line on Northwind was destroyed in the opening salvos of the First Succession War. However, the blueprints eventually found their way into the hands of both the Lyran Commonwealth and the Free Worlds League. As the War dragged on and more and more factories and BattleMech designs disappeared, ground into radioactive dust or turned into burning ruins to feed the never-ending hunger of the Successor Lords. Desperate for ‘Mechs of any kind to bolster their quickly diminishing armies, House Steiner gave the blueprints to Coventry Metal Works in hopes of restarting production. House Marik did the same, awarding their recovered copy of the blueprints to Nimakachi Fusion Products. Capabilities: The VL-3W Vulcan is designed to provide direct fire support to other lighter, faster BattleMechs while still retaining some of its trademark anti-infantry capability. Replacing the original Pitban 240 with a lighter Nissan 200 fusion engine allows the -3W to carry the heavier and more potent Oriente medium autocannon instead of the much-maligned Armstrong light model. A second Randell medium laser takes the place of the SperryBrowning machine gun while the Firestorm flamer is retained for use against soft targets. The armor has been increased from five tons of StarGuard I to a full eight tons of Durallex Light giving the -3W best-in-class protection and making it suitable for service on the front lines. The Vulcan also benefits from an unusually thin profile, making it a difficult target to hit, especially when jumping and has earned it the nickname “Scarecrow.” Another unique design feature are the jump jets mounted across its back. Specially built to shunt heat away from the rear of the ‘Mech, they generate noticeably less heat than other models and also allow unarmored units to more closely follow the Vulcan into combat than would otherwise be possible. Variants: The VL-5T was introduced just one year after the Vulcan debuted in 2777. Converting the ‘Mech into a potent short range fighter, the -5T dispenses with the autocannon entirely in favor of an additional three medium lasers. Two more heat sinks are installed to deal with the increased heat and it carries two more tons of armor as well. 51 Current Manufacturers: Coventry Metal Works Coventry - Lyran Commonwealth Nimakachi Fusion Products Tematagi – Free Worlds League Cost VL-2T 3,460,100 642 19 VL-5T 3,556,700 942 24 VL-3W 2,928,567 935 ???
