Overview:
    With the loss of there Sudeten production plant, the DSC Armory saw that past mistakes could
    have been avoided. First was the complete lack of an adequate defensive force stationed at
    the plant. With barely a company in strength plus minimal defensive structures, the plant
    could not have been expected to repel much more than a pirate attack, let alone the Clan
    invasion.
    With this in mind, the new production facility was determined to have a considerably larger
    defense force. First on the list was a mech capable of holding a defensive line like no
    other. Going back to a previously scrapped prototype design the engineers reworked a design
    originally commissioned by ComStar that was new produced. Some concessions had to be made
    due to lack of advanced tech components only available at a high cost from other
    corporations. The original mech design was one of offensive intent, what the developers
    turned the new design into was one of the most fierce defensive mechs in production.

Capabilities:
    The Hector was developed around the concept of holding as many opponents at bay as possible
    at the cheapest cost possible. Its wide variety of weapon systems allows it to operate in
    most any type of situation.
    The two DSC Bluebolt PPC's located in the mechs Right arm and torso respectively, give it
    considerable punch at range. While also carrying a Shigunga LRM-15 rack in the Right torso,
    the mech can do considerable long range damage before bringing its Armstrong Class-B LB10-X
    Autocannon into play.
    This impressive array of ranged weaponry is accompanied by a Guided Technologies Streak
    SRM-6 launcher. Backing up the short ranged missiles are a trio of lasers, one Divers Optics
    Extended Range Medium laser and two Tronel XII Medium pulse lasers.
    Together with the seventeen tons of DSC standard armor this gives the mech outstanding
    lasting power in any situation. All this built is on an Endo Steele chassis and coming in at
    under 10 million C-bills has made the development team at DSC Armory's Proud to call the
    Hector one of there best designs to ever roll off the assembly lines.

Deployment:
    Currently two productions runs have been made of the Hector so far. Three of the impressive
    mechs are currently stationed on garrison duty at the Keystone plant for the DSC Armory. A
    total of six Hectors serve in Lyran heavy lances, and two of the mechs have been purchased
    by Comstar for the 379th ComGuard Division to garrison the HPG station on Carver V.
