Overview:
The Atlas is probably the best-known BattleMech to ever set foot on the modern battlefield.
Designed with specifications from Aleksandr Kerensky himself in 2755 in the midst of the
Cameron Edicts, the Atlas was originally intended to ensure SLDF superiority over the Star
League member states. Though the inexorable arming of the Great Houses continued, the Atlas
proved itself to be everything General Kerensky requested. With the largest amount of armor
of nearly any 'Mech, crippling firepower, and the foreboding skull-shaped "Death's Head"
cockpit/head assembly, the Atlas lived up to its reputation. The mere sight of an Atlas had
been known to make even a veteran MechWarrior break out in a cold sweat, and theoretically a
single Atlas can take on and wipe out an entire battalion of Stingers in exchange for minor
armor loss.
The Atlas' first combat trials came during the Amaris Civil War, where it served an
instrumental role as a powerful command vehicle. Though General Kerensky is well-known for
being the one who kicked down the palace doors of the Usurper in his Orion, it was his close
friend Aaron DeChavilier who, in his Atlas, weathered the storm of enemy fire and breached
the protective wall surrounding the complex. After this conflict it was therefore with
little surprise that the General wished for all of these 'Mechs to accompany him on
Operation Exodus, but ironically of those MechWarriors who refused his summons fully
two-thirds were Atlas drivers. These units were spread among the Successor States and Atlas
factories on Al Na'ir, Hesperus II and Quentin would continue production of the 'Mech
through the Succession Wars.
Most commanders were loath to tamper too much with such a successful 'Mech, but the recovery
of the Helm Memory Core resulted in a number of ancient designs being updated with lostech,
and the Atlas was no exception. The new AS7-K model was released in 3049, just in time to
fight off the Clan Invasion. The Federated Commonwealth also briefly began production of
their own model, the AS7-S, although following the civil war that line was discontinued and
further variants have been introduced by the Lyran Alliance and Draconis Combine. Despite
its age, well into the end of the thirty-first century there were no plans to replace the
Atlas, and even the most cutting-edge designs will stop and pause when faced with the
prospect of an Atlas bearing down on them.
Capabilities:
Along with the refitted Mackie the Death Standing Atlas has all new Clan grade weaponry and
equipment. Starting with the 19.5 tons of Starshield plating enhanced by 2 Shield 3A AMS one
in each shoulder. To lessen the chance of a jam, each one is feed by its separate supply
bin. The 4 medium lasers have all been up graded to ER ExoStar Pinnacle models. 1 in each
arm and 2 in the CT. Long range firepower is provided by the Remer Series Alpha Deuce 12
tube ATM launcher replacing the heavy and out dated LRM 20 in the left torso. 1 ton of each
type of munition allows the mechwarrior a choice best suited for the targets range. The 6
tube SRM launcher has also been upgraded to a Streak Mk. 22 Type III launcher with 1 ton of
reloads.
But you didn't read this for those did you? No. You wanted to know about the killing blow.
Well... That honor comes from the Devastator 20 Ultra series Autocannon replacing the right
torso. 3 massive bins of reloads allow this beast to sing its deaths song to the poor
bastard foolish enough to get in range. That kind of munitions allow it's song to be heard
across the battlefield.
Notable MechWarriors:
Only the most noble of warriors are offered the chance to pilot the Mech Aleksandr Kerensky
himself saw fit to bring to the battlefield. Often left in the hanger by to be cared for
religiously by techs the Death Standing gins at the chance to bring destruction once again.
