------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Designed as an inexpensive barrage vehicle, the Besieger has serious
popularity. This version was designed in Kuritan space and sees use mainly in
House Liaos militias as an oppressive tool.
However, many a government has one or two in its militia units for less
manipulative purposes. The newest variant has had an Endo Steel chassis
upgrade, and the heat sinks in number have been reduced even as they were
upgraded to doubles.
==Capabilities:==
With ample ammunition loads for the relatively low caliber autocannon. It can
rain down a continuous wall of rounds using them to sweep infantry positions
and hardened buildings at a range most opponents can not retaliate at. With
the new cluster rounds especially this has become true as it can destroy
vehicles with a lucky shot.
In a slightly closer range the paired Extend Range mediums give it a slightly
longer close range bite, before the pair of standard medium lasers can kick
in. The paired SRM 2 racks let you go critical hunts, or infantry executing if
you need them for it.
For those enemies that get within 90 meters there is a much lighter hail of
bullets as half of the machine guns have been stripped out. Now only four
machine guns exist.
==Deployment==
This variant of the Besieger has become a favourite among fire support units
that work with infantry and vehicles companies. Also, it has seen some
impressive use in the Solaris VII areanas with a mercenary company.
Decreasing its capabilities with its machine guns was met with unhappiness
with the Solaris crowd, but at the same time it now has a lot more fire power
and can match most heavy mechs even in this year of new technology advances.

slow for its ERA but its tough as hell for a medium due to the trusty standard engine and generous armor. Good for Houses that need something to pad backwater garrisons.

That's the whole idea behind the Besieger. The Great Houses use them to supplement lower-end units, and mercs/independents/periphery powers use them as main-line forces.
