CLN-1C Chameleon History: In 2510, the Terran Hegemony commissioned Defiance Industries of Hesperus II to construct a BattleMech specifically designed to train new MechWarriors. This commission resulted in the production of the 50-ton TRC-4B Chameleon, also known as the CHM-3 Chameleon Training Scout. Never intended for combat, the Chameleon is built to help teach students the arts of piloting, jumping, heat management, and volley fire. Incorporating a Vlar 300 fusion engine, the Chameleon has a cruising speed of 64.8 kph and a top speed of almost 100 kph, making it, interestingly enough, the fastest ‘Mech in its weight class. Equipped with six McCloud Special jump jets, the same model used on the Enforcer, it has a jump capacity of 180 meters, again the best in its class. For armament, it carries a Cyclops Eye large laser, two Intek medium lasers, four Defiance B3S small lasers, and two ScatterGun machine guns. Carrying only the standard ten heat sinks, this configuration of weapons makes the Chameleon incredibly easy to overheat. If it were to fire all of its weapons and jump a full 180 meters, there is good chance the ‘Mech will simply shutdown from the excess heat, a common mistake made by many rookie pilots and an excellent “teaching moment.” Instead, the weapons were chosen to demonstrate the importance of heat management and volley fire. Configured into three groupings, there is an optimal set of weapons to use based on the distance from the target. Firing only the heavy laser at long range, the two mediums at medium range, and the full complement of four light lasers and two machine guns at short range, the heat can be managed effectively. Given this ‘Mech was never designed to engage in combat, it carries only six tons of SimplePlate Type M armor. Enough to protect the machine from falls and simulated combat, the armor is quite inexpensive but it does not have the same barrier armor rating as standard BattleMech armor. In addition, the Chameleon features special software that constantly monitors the ‘Mech’s heat level, automatically shutting off weapons that might raise the temperature above a critical level. This was done largely in response to a number of incidents early in the ‘Mech’s career where cadets inadvertently cause the machine gun ammunition to explode from excessive amounts of heat. Capabilities: Inevitably, the TRC-4B has been forced into true combat situations, often to defend the very MechWarrior Academies where it serves. In addition, as fully functional BattleMechs become more and more scarce and the demand for them continues to rise, the value of the Chameleon has grown considerably, leading many Academy’s to replace or augment their Chameleons with the lighter and considerably less expensive STG-3R Stinger. In response to this, Defiance Industries developed a combat ready version of the venerable training ‘Mech made available as a refit kit. Officially carrying the CLN- 1C designation, the refit exchanges six tons of SimplePlate armor in favor of eight tons of Durallex Light. To accommodate the additional armor, two light lasers, one of the machine guns and a half-ton of ammunition have been removed. The machine gun and ammunition have also been moved to the left arm, while the medium lasers are shifted to the torso. The electronics are fully upgraded as well, bringing them into line with standard military specifications. The communications are handled by a Neil 6000 system, while targeting and tracking duties are now handled by an Octagon Tartrac. The result is a surprisingly effective scout ‘Mech, one that is on par with the well regarded Phoenix Hawk. Highly mobile, respectably armed and armored, the CLN- 1C is likely to catch an opponent off guard by expecting the machine to be piloted by a rookie and carry paper thin armor. Variants: There is only extremely rare variant of the Chameleon seen occasionally and only as the most prestigious MechWarrior academies. The TRC-4B-DC varies from the standard model by removing two small lasers in favor of installing a dual cockpit. This arrangement allows an instructor to accompany a student inside the ‘Mech during training runs. It also gives them the ability subsume control over the BattleMech if needed. As a training tool, the TRC-4B-DC is unparalleled allowing for direct in-cockpit observation of the student. Unfortunately, installing a second cockpit in a BattleMech is an extremely complicated process, requiring extensive modifications to the control system. While dual cockpits, and even command consoles, were well within the ability of the Star League to manufacture, they are no longer within the reach of the Successor States. As such, the only ones that exist are highly prized and almost never seen on the battlefield.
