Overview:The Marauder has often been touted as the most effective BattleMech in existence. In truth, the performance of the original 'Mech fell far short of its supporters' claims, largely because the Inner Sphere industries could not produce the specialized armor it was designed to carry. With the rediscovery of lost technology in the Inner Sphere, the Marauder has re-emerged with the potential to dominate the battlefield of the future. When the first Marauder came off the GM production line, the Houses welcomed it as the precursor of a new generation of BattleMechs offering unheard-of battlefield performance. This design foreshadowed the introduction of many unique elements, but the fall of the Star League left other 'Mechs in this new series on the drawing board. The Clans fulfilled the potential of this new series, and the Marauder IIC is a deadly tribute to Clan engineering capabilities. Capabilities:The Clan Marauder IIC carries the weaponry layout typical of the standard Marauder. The forearms each contain extended range PPCs paired with medium pulse lasers. This set-up is familiar as the configuration of the Warhammer, which drops hand actuators to ease maintenance and create a more compact design. The top torso mounted weapon on this version is another extended range PPC, thus avoiding a vulnerable ammunition-feed linkage needed for a projectile weapon. Deployment:This Marauder is on all garrisoned Clan worlds but has seen only limited action. Though on paper the weapon and armor configuration appear to offer little advantage over the refitted Inner Sphere Marauder, on the battlefield this 'Mech pounds its opponents to pieces.
