CGR-2B5 Charger History: Wells Technologies delivered the CGR-1A1 Charger to the Star League in 2665. Promising to deliver an ultraheavy reconnaissance BattleMech capable of surviving sustained contact with the enemy, the -1A1 was designed solely to gather information, never to engage in actual combat. Built around the massive LTV 400 power plant, the largest fusion engine ever built, and carrying ten tons of Durallex Heavy armor, the -1A1 tips the scales at 80 tons, technically making it an assault class ‘Mech. With a top sustained speed of 86.4 kph, the Charger can in fact keep up with units weighing just half its size, and it is an awe inspiring sight to see such a massive BattleMech moving so quickly. However, the LTV 400 engine alone weighs as much as a medium BattleMech at an astounding 52.5 tons. With so much space and weight dedicated to just the engine, the Charger is left with little room for weapons. Carrying an array of five Magna Mk. I light lasers, it is outgunned by even the lowly 20-ton Stinger. The engineer at Wells Technologies did not see this as a problem. Given the Charger’s primary role was that of a scout, there was little need for heavy weapons, in fact, they reasoned keeping the armament so minimal would encourage the pilot to stay focused on gathering intelligence rather than engaging enemy forces. To their credit, the engineers at Wells Technologies spared no expense on the electronics suite. The Charger uses the multi-channel Tek BattleCom communications system. The Tek BattleCom is heavily shielded against interference and can be outfitted with jamming and ECM gear. It is also capable of establishing an uplink to orbiting satellites, making it invaluable to forward operation commanders and an ideal system for a scout ‘Mech. Interestingly enough, it also carries the Dalban Hirez targeting and tracking system. Designed by Apple Computers Interstellar, it remains one of the most advanced T&T systems available today. With built in target identification, a 180 degree scanning arc, and a full suite of sensors, it was likely chosen for its ability to quickly identify, with 90% accuracy, enemy units rather than to actually target them with its paltry weapons. The Dalban Hirez also features a lock-on indicator, which warns the pilot when an enemy ‘Mech has targeted them giving the pilot time to initiate evasive maneuvers. Ultimately the massive price tag and poor weapons load out doomed the Charger and barely had the SLDF taken the first shipments of the ultra-heavy scout ‘Mech than it was pulled from the frontlines and assigned to garrison duty and other non-critical areas. Technicians soon discovered, however, that the Charger, for its many flaws, was a well built and utterly reliable machine requiring significantly less maintenance the most BattleMechs. Ironically, it was the fall of the Star League and the complete devastation of the First Succession War that saved the ill regarded BattleMech. Desperate for BattleMechs of any kind, the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery was all too happy to buy as many Chargers as Wells Technologies could produce, including their many surplus units. Capabilities: The CGR-2B5 addresses the main flaw of the Charger, its armament, while maintaining its best asset, its mobility. The colossal LTV 400 is replaced with a much lighter Pitban 320, reducing its top speed to 64.8 kph. To offset this loss of speed, four massive HildCo Model 12 jump jets have been added to the legs and center torso giving the -2B5 a jump capacity of 120 meters. The five light lasers are discarded in favor of three Magna Mk. III heavy lasers. An additional twelve heat sinks are installed to deal with the heat, giving it a total of 22 heat sinks. The armor has been increased as well, with the -2B5 carrying 11.5 tons of Valiant Lamellor. With excellent mobility for its weight class, the Charger is also well known for its devastating physical attacks. Its kick is capable of destroying the entire leg of any light scout ‘Mech on the field with a single blow and a punch from its armored battle fist rivals the power of a particle cannon. The Charger is capable of literally ripping apart light ‘Mechs and quickly pounding heavier ones into scrap. 87 Variants: There are no commonly produced variants of the Charger.
