Overview:
The Ling Zhan, which translates as spiritual warfare, is a medium trooper mech that is a
modern day successor to the mantle of mechs like the Griffin. Its a skirmisher intended to
use its mobility and long range to pressure the enemy's flanks or delay their advance. It
is of course designed by the Capellans, and while it was produced too late to be a Xin Sheng
mech, it certainly fits in.
Capabilities:
As with many modern Capellan Designs, the Ling Zhen focuses on the effective mix of
electronic superiority, mobility, and devastating firepower. While its ground speed is
nothing remarkable, the addition of partial wings extends the mechs airborne mobility
greatly. This maneuverability allows it to dictate engagement ranges which in turn lets the
Stealth systems play an active roll in making this mech a nightmare to pin down. Finally a
Heavy PPC gives the concentrated firepower to threaten larger mechs, and intimately
discourage those few mechs with the capability to close on the Ling Zhan. The PPC is backed
by enhanced targeting systems to stabilize it against the mech's own mobility. Finally a
TAG system completes the load-out, controlling the all too familiar storm of Arrow IV rounds
the Capellans are infamous for.
