================================================================================================
Overview:
The Hellwasp was designed by Clan Star Adder to provide a fast, jump-capable, light
BattleMech capable of scouting for the remainder of its star. Basing the design upon an
amalgamation of the SLDF Stinger and Wasp BattleMechs, the Adders incorporated elements of
both designs, giving this Mech a balanced combination of speed, armor, and firepower (both
anti-Mech and anti-personnel). In use today by every Clan, the Hellwasp is produced at four
factories; one still possessed by the Adders, the second claimed by the Cloud Cobras, the
third by the Goliath Scorpions, and the final one by the Nova Cats.
Capabilities:
The Hellwasp masses 25-tons in overall weight, having gained five tons over its ancient
predecessors. It uses that additional mass to carry a combination of engine, jump jets,
armor, and weapons that would send most Inner Sphere military officers in a state of shock,
however. The Hellwasp uses endo-steel internal structure to reduce the mass of the internal
skeleton, and is armored with four tons of ferro-fibrous armor plating. This gives the
Hellwasp a respectable 85.39% of the theoretical maximum protection for a 25-ton BattleMech.
The engine used by this beast is a 200-rate extra-light fusion that gives the Hellwasp a
walking speed of 86.4 kilometers per hour and a running speed of 129.6 kph. In addition, the
design has been fitted with eight jump jets for a maximum jump distance of 240 meters. Much
like the ancient Spider, the Adders incorporated vectored thrust nozzles on the jets,
allowing the Warrior piloting a Hellwasp to radically alter his flight trajectory in
mid-jump, playing havoc with an opponent attempting to target this BattleMech.
The main medium-range weapons are two ER Medium Lasers mounted in the right arm and the left
arm. Backing up the lasers is a Streak SRM-6 launcher set in the center torso, along with a
one-ton missile bin in the right torso that holds 15 missile salvoes.
Just the base ten double-heat sinks are mounted, but in the Hellwasp these are sufficient to
handle most of the heat load generated by a full jumping alpha strike.
Deployment:
Encountered in the toumen of every Clan, the Hellwasp is what many Clansmen consider the
base-line standard of what a Light BattleMech should be. It may lack sophisticated
electronics and long-ranged weapon systems, but it is fast, extremely maneuverable,
reasonable well-armored, and capable of engaging a variety of targets. More Trials of
Possession and Grievance are fought out between Warriors piloting a Hellwasp than not.
Variants:
Clan Nova Cat and Cloud Cobra reduce the Streak SRM-6 pack to a Streak-4 module and remove
the left arm ER Medium Laser to add two AP Gauss Rifles and a ton of ammunition.
For their Mod GS variant, the Goliath Scorpions have modified the chassis in order to fit a
one-ton targeting computer module into the 'Mechs head. To accommodate the additional
tonnage, the Hellwasp Mk XXV Mod GS removes the Streak SRM-4 launcher and instead mounts an
older, lighter standard SRM-4 system.
