I'm leaning toward Free Worlds League or Steiner. I'm not sure about the year.

Steiner. I was going to suggest that it be an experimental augmentation of the Zeus, but the distribution is wrong. No ideas on the year, as the Zeus is an old 'Mech.

And I've got a question, Warhammer. How are you figuring the heat on this? It looks over-sinked to me, and I'm wondering what you see that I don't.

I got what weapons I wanted and filled the rest of the tonnage with Heat Sinks. I see nothing but me being lazy.

I see. Well, that explains why I didn't understand your heat sinkage, doesn't it?

If that's the case, then perhaps it should be Marik after all.

Then again, Steiner can do that just as well.

Writer's block went away.

Type/Model:    Klaw KLW-1G
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3025

Rules:         Level 1, Custom design

Mass:          95 tons

Power Plant:   285 VOX Fusion
Walking Speed: 32.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 54.0 km/h

Armor Type:    Durallex Heavy Standard
Armament:

  5 Hellion-V Medium Lasers
  2 Delta Dart LRM 15s
  2 Diverse Optics Type 10 Small Lasers
  1 Irian Weapons Works Class 4 SRM 4
Manufacturer:  Irian BattleMechs Unlimited, Kali Yama Weapons Industries Inc.
  Location:    Irian, Shiro III
Communications System:  Corean TransBand-J9
Targeting & Tracking System:  Alexis Photon Targeting Acquisition System

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Klaw came from the Star League's need for a new support 'mech, one with
powerful long-range capabilities backed up with extended close-in firepower.

The 'mech also had to be cheap and operate with a minimum of maintenance,
although ammunition-dependancy was considered to be acceptable. To this end,
the 'mech was designed with oversized ammunition bays, and with no lower arms
or hands.

==Capabilities:==
The twin Delta Dart missile systems form most of the Klaw's power at range,
supported by the Tiegart PPC mounted in the 'mechs arm. This trio of weapons
can lay down truly devastating firepower at range.

Once the LRMs run dry, the Klaw will begin to close, keeping up the pressure
with the PPC on the way. Close in, the Klaw brings to bear a stunning array of
weaponry. A full battery of five Hellion-V lasers, combined with an Irian
Weapon Works Class 4 missile launcher make the Klaw a 'mech not to be taken
lightly. Twin rear-firing Diverse Optics Type 10 lasers, combined with the
'mechs ability to fire rearward with its' arm-mounted weapons, protect the
Klaw from the light and medium 'mechs that invariably try to flank around for
a backshot.
