Overview:
Originally a late Star League design that never made it to production. Originally called
the Witch, it was meant to be a multi-role quick response, urban combat, and anti-insurgency
platform, and was an iteration by the Maltex corporation on the Wyvern that eventually
became its own design. The disruption from the Amaris Civil War and radical restructuring
caused the designs for the Witch to be lost, until they were recovered and rebranded into
the Lefay by Kong Interstellar.
Although the Amaris Civil War halted its development in favor for more immediate production
of war material, the Lefay's specifications would eventually end up rediscovered in the Free
Worlds League. Strained from the Clan Invasion, and with the quick depletion of war material
to a technologically superior enemy, the Witch went from merely a viable design to a greatly
desirable one for its use of simpler and more cost effective Star League era systems and
lower tech components, allowing it to be manufactured quickly to fill depleted mech bays.
This made it a very lucrative export out of the Free Worlds League. With the simplicity of
construction and affordability of materials, the crippled Connaught plant was able to
produce limited amounts of the Witch, as well as sell the license to the designs to other
plants in order to fund Kong's eventual recovery in 3065.
The 2N model is the configuration of the Witch as it was adapted for manufacturing during
the late Succession wars by Kong Interstellar, having to adapt to the downgrade from an
Endo-Steel to a standard chassis, and using McCorkel large laser from Kong's surplus Black
Knight components rather that the original Nightwind. Although it has been known to be
substituted for a Tronel III branded laser, especially during the difficulties Kong
Interstellar faced throughout the Succession Wars
Capabilities:
The Witch was originally named for the white witch moth, as the shape of the sloped chassis,
armor plates, and the dorsal fin inherited from the Wyvern's chassis somewhat resemble a
pair of moth wings. The shape of the Witch was an intentional design choice, as the Lefay's
modest armor meant that it relied on positioning and cover from its speed for survival, and
so the shape was meant to make the most of the 7 tons of standard armor as possible by
increasing the front-arc's effective armor thickness by 40%.
Because of this, the Witch's main anti-mech armaments were mounted in the high in the side
torsos, so that the Witch could position itself hull-down in cover and still deliver
effective fire. The original missile packs of the WVE-5N was traded for twin Totschlagen SRM
4 launchers in the right arm and torso, with two tons of ammo to feed them. This was an
intentional design choice, as it was expected that the pilot would load inferno missiles to
augment the anti-infantry and vehicle capabilities of the flamer, as well as offer the
opportunity to make escapes by lighting fires to scramble hostile sensors.
