================================================================================================
Overview:
Faced with the superior range and firepower of the Clan invaders, the Steiner military
wanted a light, fast 'Mech with superior long-range firepower. Many design firms offered
plans featuring LRM racks and PPC's, but the contract went to Coventry Metal Works.
Their design, tagged the BZK-F3 Hollander, eliminated the heat buildup from PPC's
and the danger of ammo explosion inherent in LRMs by mounting the massive Poland Main Model
A Gauss cannon in the 'Mechs's right torso. This unorthodox design would provide
unprecedented firepower in a light 'Mech, enough to take down other light 'Mechs in one
shot.
Capabilities:
Intended to engage light and medium 'Mechs at extreme range and eliminate them quickly, the
Hollander mounts a single Gauss cannon around which the entire 'Mech is built. The Gauss
cannon provides devastating firepower and range but also poses some inherent design
limitations.
The Gauss cannon is so heavy that the design proved outmatched and quickly
destroyed in the field. The Lyran high command in a desperate attempt to recoup its finical
looses began selling dozens of BZK-F3s on the open market. Several found there way into the
hands of Mercenaries working for the FWL. These units quickly upgraded there Hollanders by
removing the Poland Gauss cannon and replaced with the lighter Corean Light Gauss cannon
which allowed for an additional two tons of armor and the addition of two medium lasers. In
one swift motion these Mercs turned a weak design into a notable front line fighter on par
with the Steiner Wolfhound and Kurita Panther.
