MAD-4U Marauder History: The Marauder was produced by General Motors in 2612 and was intended to be the first of an entirely new generation of BattleMechs. Commissioned by the Star League Defense Force for use by their Royal units, the initial design, the MAD-1R, carried the familiar overunder arm mounted Magna Hellstar PPCs and Magna Mk. II medium lasers. It also carried a class 5 GM Whirlwind autocannon atop its uniquely shaped chassis. The autocannon rounds were protected with Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment to mitigate the effects of an ammunition explosion, and it was protected by eleven tons of advanced Ferro-Fibrous armor. In 2760, two years before a young Richard Cameron would assume the mantle of First Lord, General Motors updated the Marauder with the latest technological advances. The PPCs were replaced with the Magna Firestar extended-range version and the sixteen original heat sinks were upgraded to double-strength versions. Just five years later, in 2765, shortly after Christmas, Richard Cameron along with every other member of House Cameron, lie dead on the floor of the Palace Throne Room on Terra at the hands of the Usurper, Stefan Amaris. What followed was a bloody 14-year civil war that heralded the end of the Star League. On the heels of the Amaris Civil War came the Succession Wars and by 2819 General Motors was forced to downgrade the -2R version due to the loss of many of the advanced production facilities they relied up for advanced weapons, armor and heat dissipation and the familiar MAD-3R was released. Returning to the original Magna Hellstar PPCs and sixteen standard heat sinks, the -3R is quite similar to the original -1R. CASE was no longer available and neither was the advanced Ferro-Fibrous armor. Consequently, the -3R is protected with 11.5 tons of Valiant Lamellor, giving it slightly less protection even with the increased weight of the armor. The rest of the next generation of BattleMechs the Marauder was supposed to usher in never made it out of the General Motor’s engineers workstations, although it was rumored they had made significant progress on two more designs. With the Succession Wars raging almost without pause, it was all General Motors could do to keep their operations on Kathil functioning, even at reduced capacity. McKenna Shipyards, located at the Zenith point of the Kathil system, was once the most advanced manufacturer of JumpShips, DropShips, and even majestic WarShips for the Federated Suns before repeated attacks from the Capellan Confederation reduced it to a shell of its former glory. Located near the border with House Laio, Kathil is under constant threat of invasion and is the frequent target of raids. By now the Marauder had established itself as one of the most effective BattleMechs on the field. With annual production numbers for the popular ‘Mech dropping steadily due to near constant attacks, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns asked General Motors to license the design to Independence Weaponry, located in the famous Steel Valley on Quentin. Independence Weaponry is the Federated Suns premier producer of heavy and assault class BattleMechs. However, its location puts it within striking distance of the Draconis Combine as well as the Capellan Confederation and it has found itself in much the same situation as Kathil, constantly under the threat of attack and production capacity slowly dwindling. General Motors, now faced with the real possibility that it may not be able to continue operations, also licensed the Marauder to one other company, this one outside of the Federated Suns. It was a bitter pill to swallow for the company that invented the fusion engine on Terra in 2020 and at one point had been the largest producer of civilian and military vehicles in the entire Inner Sphere as well the largest single contractor for the AFFS. Ronin Incorporated, in the Free Worlds League, also carries a license to produce the Marauder. Their facility on Wallis, however, is more of an assembly point rather than a true production factory and it is constantly plagued with supply chain and labor problems. It is however located safely with the boundaries of the FWL and provides a measure of diversification General Motors has lacked since the fall of the Star League. 83 Capabilities: The MAD-4U takes its inspiration from the legendary 100-ton KGC-000 King Crab. Mounting a pair of the most massive autocannons ever produced, the Deathgiver AC/20, and fed by two tons of ammunition in each torso, the MAD-4U is capable of destroying or disabling any other ‘Mech in existence with a single salvo. Keeping the 11.5 tons of Valiant Lamellor, the -4U features 13 heat sinks and a top speed of 51.2 kph. The two backup Magna Mk. II medium lasers have been moved to the torsos due to the incredible space required to mount the Deathgivers. In fact, the Deathgiver is such a colossal weapon, parts of it also had to located in the torsos, as the arm assembly simply didn’t have enough space. It also mounts three HildCo Model 12 jump jets. Variants: When Independence Weaponry received the production drawings for the MAD-3R Marauder, they made a few minor changes of their own, giving it the MAD-3D designation. With CASE no longer built into the chassis, battlefield records revealed numerous -3R Marauders have been lost to catastrophic ammunition explosions. Engineers at Independence chose to remove the GM Whirlwind autocannon and ammunition, in favor of a Magna Mk. III heavy laser and four additional heat sinks.
