LNC 25-02B Lancelot History: Shortly after the Ian Cameron and the five Great House Lords signed the Star League Accords in 2571, a nascent Star League Defense Force put out a request for proposals for a new medium class BattleMech. The document put forth three requirements for the new design. First, that it should require minimal logistical support. Second, that it be maneuverable enough to take part in mobile operations. Third, that it have sufficient firepower to pose a credible threat to other units of equal size of greater on the battlefield. Krupp Stellar Technologies Incorporated, based on Terra and with production facilities on Mars, was already well known for their advanced battle computers, communications gear, and targeting and tracking systems. However, they had yet to try and enter the highly profitable BattleMech market. That changed in 2581 when Krupp debuted their 60-ton LNC25-01 Lancelot in response to the SLDF RFP. At the heart of their design lay a powerful, and incredibly expensive, Hermes 360 Extralight fusion engine. The cost of the engine alone was well over 5.5 million C-bills, with the total per unit cost upwards of 13 million, making the LNC 25-01 by far the most expensive 60-ton BattleMech ever made. With a top speed of close to 100 kph, the LNC 25-01 was armed with a Kinslaughter PPC, two Krupp Model 32 large lasers, often referred to as “Fur Burners,” and a single Model 2 medium laser. Protected by 9.5 tons of PanzerSlab Type 5 armor, the Lancelot is as well protected as most any 55-ton BattleMech, but by heavy standards its protection is considered light. In truth, the design was intended to come in at 55-tons, but the engineers at Krupp were forced to slightly increase the overall weight to accommodate its heavy weaponry. Equipped with 13 dual heat sinks and Krupp’s trademark KBC battle computer, the ‘Mechs trial runs on Soul were so impressive the SLDF immediately signed a contract for an initial run of 250 of the fast, powerful BattleMech. The Krupp KBC Starlight Model 3 deserves special note. Capable of simultaneously tracking 50 different targets, over twice the capacity of most other systems, the battle computer identifies those enemy units that are targeting the Lancelot and brings them to the pilot’s immediate attention. This includes conventional as well as aerospace units, and the KBC is known to be an excellent anti-aircraft system, able to track extremely fast moving targets with ease. In fact, indications were the SLDF intended to use the Lancelot as their primary antianti-aircraft ‘Mech, replacing the aging Rifleman, but ultimately the high unit cost prevented whole sale replacement from occurring. The Lancelot also features an unusually slim profile making it a deceptively difficult target. The swept back torso, narrow legs and subtle curves all combine to present a significantly smaller target than more traditional designs. Considered all together, the Lancelot is a highly mobile, dangerous BattleMech, and even with its relatively light armor and bulky engine, a surpringly difficult BattleMech to bring down. It is believed Krupp Stellar Technologies’ facilities on both Terra and Mars were destroyed during the Amaris Civil War effectively ending production of the LNC 25-01. Capabilites: The LNC-02 Lancelot may have set a record for earning the worst reputation in the shortest amount of time. Released just two years ago, it earned the nickname “The Coffin” in less than twelve months of being deployed among units of the DCMS. Already much maligned, the engineers at Luthien Armor Works quickly returned to drawing room rushing the -02B into production in an attempt to salvage the design before even more damage was done. Looking to their successful and iconic DRG-1N Dragon for guidance, they improved the speed of the -02B by using the same Vlar 300 engine that powered the Dragon. They also improved the armor, once again matching the Dragon exactly by using 10 tons of Starshield armor. Next, they removed the Lord’s Light PPC from the right torso replacing it with a second Victory 23R medium laser while retaining both of the arm mounted heavy lasers. The changes returned most of the speed to the Lancelot while also making it possible for MechWarriors to effectively manage their heat. Now carrying the same 71 protection as the Dragon, pilots who criticized the new design risked criticizing the Dragon as well. Only now are the first -02Bs being delivered to the DCMS. If it proves successful, it is likely LAW will switch their production entirely over the -02B, perhaps even issuing field refits kits for the existing “Coffins.” Variants: There is much speculation as to how a full set of design blueprints for Krupp’s LNC 25-01 Lancelot ended up in the hands of Luthien Armor Works. In 2864, LAW resurrected the Lancelot with the LNC 25-02 version. Without access to the facilities required to manufacture Extralight fusion engines, and dual heat sinks now lostech, the 25-02 is a sad, pale, reflection of the original. Built around a Pitban 240, ironically the same engine used by the Rifleman which it was intended to replace, the 25-02 has a top speed of just 64.8 kph, an almost 40% reduction from the original. An additional six heat sinks were added, bringing it up to total of 19, and the armor was changed to the common Starshield A although the amount remained the same. It retains the original weapons load, though the PPC is now a Lord’s Light, and the lasers are provided by Victory Industries. The electronics have also been downgraded to systems produced on Hachiman by Tanadi Computers. The result is a slow, lightly armored BattleMech prone to frequent overheating. However, the DCMS is so strapped for BattleMechs its virtually guaranteed that LAW will continue production for the foreseeable future.
