Gigantor III (Dreadnought)
Overview:
The origin of the Super Heavy BattleMech dates back to the final years of the original Star League with Stefan Amaris and the original Matar or Behemoth design. Although the Behemoth design failed, the Word of Blake successfully deployed the Super Heavy Omega design to defend Terra in 3078. In 3090, the Lyran Commonwealth, under the direction of Archon Adam Steiner, started the design of Super Heavy ‘Mechs with the first one being manufactured in 3097 called the Gigantor. The second one, called the Gigantor II, was manufactured in 3099 and uses the same basic chassis of the original design. A third model, the Gigantor III, emerged soon after the second and many believe it will become the primary model for manufacture. Some have speculated that these designs were a perfect fit for his defensive strategies against Clans Jade Falcon and Wolf.
The Gigantor III is a 200 ton Battlemech that has a Dreadnought classification for being over 100 tons. Most assume since the ‘Mech is so gigantic or enormous that it was named Gigantor although some farfetched rumors say it was named after an ancient Terran cartoon involving a flying robot. Offensively, the design is equipped with 9 Large Pulse Lasers and the withering accuracy of the Pulse Lasers is further enhanced with a sophisticated Targeting Computer. Defensively, the ‘Mech carries a staggering 42.5 tons of Ferro-Lamellor Armor, Angel ECM Suite and 3 Laser Anti-missile systems to help sustain it on the battlefield. The Gigantor III is a blend of the first two models, adding some defensive measures while sacrificing very little in the way of firepower. Like other slow units, the Gigantor III is meant primarily for defensive roles and needs supporting units to maximize its effectiveness.
