VND-1T Vindicator History: The Vindicator is a recent addition to the BattleMechs of the Inner Sphere. Production began in 2826 during a brief lull between the First and Second Succession Wars. It was commissioned by the Capellan Confederation purely out of necessity in the aftermath of the disastrous First and Second Succession Wars in which House Liao lost almost all of their ‘Mech production facilities. Designed to be able to fulfill numerous roles on the battlefield, the Vindicator excels at none. Equipped with a Jaguar LRM-5 for fire support, a Smasher PPC for front line duty and rounded out by a medium and small laser, the Vindicator is a jack of all trades. The real strength of the machine lies in its manufacturer, Ceres Metal Industries. Ceres Metals was founded on Terra long before the formation of the Star League. By the time the Star League was founded, Ceres Metals had expanded into JumpShip and DropShip production, with factories on hundreds of worlds across the Inner Sphere. While most were clustered in the Terran Hegemony, Ceres Metals also invested heavily in trade, even subsidizing the colonization of planets in the Periphery. This diversification reaped huge profits, making it one of the most profitable and influential companies in the Inner Sphere and eventually allowing them to expand into the mining and water purification sectors as well. Ceres Metals was also involved in the Capellan Confederation’s first foray in BattleMech design. Working with the Confederation Defense Corporation located on Exedor, Ceres Metals helped supply both the Ceres Shield 2.2 armor and the Anderson Propulsion 12 jump jets used by the Second Generation FRB-2E Firebee produced in 2483. The devastation the Amaris Civil War inflicted on the Terran Hegemony, however, destroyed the vast majority of Ceres Metal’s industrial might, including their shipyards and many of the their industrial factories forcing the company to relocated their headquarters to Capella in the Capellan Confederation. Once there, Ceres Metals quickly secured its future by becoming the chief state securities broker for the Confederation. As an interstellar company, Ceres Metals had offices across the Inner Sphere, notably on Coventry, Kimball, Sarna and Ward. The company moved to establish its neutrality by adopting a policy of selling arms and equipment to any organization with the C-bills to meet their prices. When the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces approached Ceres Metals and asked them to design a new ‘Mech to be used to rebuild the shattered CCAF, Ceres Metals was quickly to oblige. Just about every component used in the Vindicator is built on Capella by Ceres Metals making the ‘Mech cheap, easy to mass produce, and with a ready supply of repair parts it is one of the few ‘Mechs easily repairable. Its lackluster speed is only partly offset by the Anderson Propulsion 30 jump jets and there is a well-documented problem with the ejection system. The head mounted CeresArms medium laser intrudes into the cockpit making it not only uncomfortably cramped but also potentially deadly. The propulsion system used by the ejector seat had been known to foul itself on this intrusion and explode, killing the MechWarrior. Capabilities: The VND-1T replaces the CeresArms Jaguar LRM-5 in the left torso with a Holly LRM-10 significantly improving its ability to perform as a fire support unit. Coupled with the CeresArms Smasher PPC in its right arm, the Vindicator can lay down heavy fire at long range although with only 14 heat sinks, a prudent MechWarrior will keep a close eye on the heat levels. The Smasher PPC also incorporates an unusual cooling jacket. Water intake ports are built all around the muzzle of the weapons allowing the pilot to quickly cool the weapon down by dipping it directly into a water source such as a lake or creek. The original Hessen small laser in the left arm has been upgraded to a medium class one, giving the VND-1T two CeresArms medium lasers for close in work. The original nine tons of StarShield armor have been replaced with 7.5 tons of Riese-456 giving in adequate protection for a 45-ton BattleMech. 53 Variants: There are no common variants of the Vindicator in production. The VND-1AA was briefly produced in 2863. Increasing the ‘Mech’s top speed to 86.4 kph and giving it a jump capacity of 150 meters, the -1AA cut the amount of armor in half, leaving it with just barely more protection than the 20-ton Locust. Intended to provide the CCAF with a version that could be used as a scout ‘Mech, it was quickly shown to be a dismal failure on the battlefield and production ceased shortly after it began.
