- Overview:
- The disappearance of the SLS Clifton Sprague, a Riga class frigate, during the
- Hegemony Civil War was a mourned, but not unexpected event, with the SLDF's
- losses at a staggering high during the conflict. It's discovery in the Deep
- Periphery in 3147 on a water world 1800 light years away from Terra, however,
- was. The revelation of the ship's location sparked a mad dash to IE478,
- prompting a number of minor conflicts as salvage teams fought over claims both
- in orbit and on the planet's surface. The most successful group however, was
- Clan Sea Fox, and it's Kitefin OmniMech.
- Capabilities:
- Broadly similar in both movement profile and construction to the earlier
- Tiburon, the Kitefin is purpose built to take advantage of both land and sea,
- with the head cocooning an ejection pod in a series of HarJel II dispensers,
- and mounting an active probe to the base chassis. A series of fins,
- reminiscient of the Ha Otoko from the 3060s, are mounted on the body giving the
- chassis better grip underwater, while it's small and compact body gives it an
- advantage at protecting the fragile interals. The Primary variant mounts a
- sextet of UMUs, giving it high mobility beneath the waves, and is armed with a
- pair of LRT-5s and ER Medium lasers, allowing the machine some bite at all
- types of targets. Additionally, the side torsos have been fitted with HarJel
- II. The A mimics the Prime, instead using a pair of LRT-10s. Configuration B
- returns the mech to the land, mounting jump jets, a pair of LRM-10s, and a pair
- of ER Medium Lasers. Finally, configuration C is armed again with a set of ER
- Medium Lasers, but mounts a pair of SRM-6s and an Angel ECM system.
- Deployment:
- The first confirmed sighting of the Kitefin was in 3147, during the Battle for
- Ship's Aft, a deadly fight where two pirate bands, an independent mercenary
- team, and Clan Sea Fox fought over, through and around the engine section of
- the downed SLS Charles Sprague, resulting in the deaths all but the Sea Fox
- warriors, though evidence suggests that it was developed earlier, though due
- to it's focus on undersea operations, Spheroid observers had no clue of it's
- existence. Since the recovery of the Charles Sprague in 3147, the Kitefin has
- occasionally been spotted in the hands of all the Khanates, and can be
- sometimes found for sale to Spheroid buyers, though at a 50% markup of it's
- nominal value.
- Notable 'Mechs & MechWarriors:
- Star Captain Eric Clarke: Commanding a trinary in Gamma Aimag of the IlKhanate,
- Clarke mobilized his unit, along with submersible assets, and made his way to
- IE478 to stake a claim to as much of the SLS Charles Sprague as he could,
- though his forethought in bringing along a trio of Kitefins proved deadly to
- the other claimants, as was shown during the Battle of Ship's Aft. Clarke
- personally destroyed four submersibles and a pair of pirate BattleMechs in the
- ensuing battle.
- Additional:
- Quirks: Narrow/Low Profile, Compact BattleMech, Improved Life Support.
- Difficult to Maintain.
