Overview:
Vining Engineering and Salvage Team (VEST) designed and developed the Titan (or
Grand Titan in the Federated Commonwealth). Building on the success of their
Jackal design, VEST sought to diversify by creating the Titan as their entry to
the assault-weight 'Mech class.

 Their specifications described an assault 'Mech that could take on the best of
both the Inner Sphere and the Clans. During the initial trial runs of the
prototype, the Titan challenged an Atlas as a test of firepower and endurance .
The battle lasted ten minutes, and the Atlas was left a charred hulk. The
memorable scene of the Titan stomping on the skull-like head of its felled
opponent is still used as a sales promotion tool for the Titan.


Capabilities:
Assault 'Mechs are not known for speed, but the Titan moves fast enough to get
into and out of trouble spots and still carries sufficient fire power to damage
and/or eliminate the opposition. The key to this remarkable speed is the
modified LTV 400 XL fusion reactor. This power plant suffered design problems
in the early stages of development, but with those problems now resolved, the
LTV 400 XL series has proven very reliable.

 The Titan's defensive capabilities begin at the core, The 'Mech's skeleton is
Corean endo steel. More than 18 tons of Durallex Heavy armor protect the
internal mechanisms, enough in most areas to withstand even the deadly
firepower of the Clan OmniMechs. The VEST engineers incorporated the McArthur
anti-missile system, giving the Titan additional defense against long-range
missile attacks and double heat sinks permit the Titan to stay in action longer
than its predecessors.

 The Titan's offensive capabilities strike fear into the heart of even the most
experienced MechWarrior. Each side of the 'Mech's right arm mounts a Diverse
Optics Type 20 large pulse laser, supported by a standard Holly long range
missile battery of 15 launch tubes equipped with an Artemis IV fire-control
system.

 The Titan is equally menacing at short ranges. Using the Artemis IV FCS, the
Titan carries a Holly short-range missile six-pack in both the right and left
torsos. Two Diverse Optics medium pulse lasers increase the medium and
short-range fighting capability.

 As a last-resort weapon, the Titan also mounts two Holly Streak SRM packs,
one-shot firing tubes mounted on the upper shoulders of the Titan near the
"neck." Pilots often use these tubes for point blank firing.

 The lead VEST engineer on the Titan project, David Courtney Vining, also
mounted rear-fire capabilities in response to the new threat of Elementals on
the battlefield. Two aft-firing Diverse Optics pulse lasers on the rear left
and right torsos discourage close assaults.


Deployment:
The market was ripe for the Titan, and all the major Houses purchased the new
'Mech from Earthwerks. House Marik's Free Worlds League bought the majority of
the supply.
