==Overview:==
    Designed by Shrike Heavy Industries as a cheap pocket assault mech, the 75
ton Wanderer is slow for its weight. The ability to mount a standard engine
and an impressive weapons array more than makes up for its somewhats slow
speed however.

    Design concept is credited to Sir Arthur Wanderer of the mercenary command
Wanderer's Hussars. Unable to afford most modern heavies, or even older
assault class machines, Sir Arthur wanted a mech that would have a heavy throw
weight in weaponry, impressive armor protection, survivability, and most
importantly, a small price tag.

    Cheaper and more powerful than many smaller mechs, such as the Uziel or
modern Variants of the Wolverine, the Wanderer is an effective choice for
mercenary commands on a budget. It also has a significantly larger throw
weight than many older asssault mech designs such as the Atlas AS7-D

==Capabilities:==
    With jump jets to enhance mobility, a Gauss Rifle as the primary weapon,
and an array of lasers and short range missiles for backup weapons, the
Wanderer is a potent battlefield force.

     Despite being slower than many of its contemporary competitors, it
performs very well in the field. Damage that would cripple or kill other mechs
in its class is only a minor hindrance to the Wanderer. This survivability
means that the Wanderer can take incredible damage, retreat, repair and
reload, and be back on the field faster than mechs which mount an extral light
engine.

     The short range of most of the weapons may put the Wanderer at a
disadvantage versus smaller, faster mechs, but against its intended opponents
of heavy and assault weight, this is not an issue.This weakness is also
overcome by pairing the Wanderer with a fast medium that can cover it against
faster opponents.

==Variants:==
     Currently there are no known variants of the Wanderer, however SHI has
expressed plans to create a support version of the Wanderer that would be
comparable to such venerable designs as the Archer and Longbow.

==Deployment==
    Currently the Wanderer is deployed with Wanderer's Hussars, Shrike's
Talons, and is on trial with many other small units.
