A contemporary of the ''[[Mackie]]'' and ''[[Emperor]]'', the ''Banshee'' is undeniably fast for one of the heaviest 'Mechs ever produced, and with fifteen tons of armor it is better protected than most other assault 'Mechs. However the use of a massive GM 380 [[fusion engine]] left little room for weaponry, and even at the time of its introduction the ''Banshee'' was considered undergunned compared to its privately-built competition. As critics noted, what use was impressive armor and mobility if a better-armed enemy could overwhelm and destroy it? The result was a mediocre 'Mech which even the lowly ''[[Rifleman]]'' could beat as long as it prevented the ''Banshee's'' mass from coming into play.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 116</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 166</ref> The Hegemony soldiered on though, producing five thousand ''Banshees'' in a decade before its poor combat performance finally forced them to stop production in [[2485]] and the 'Mech was relegated to training and militia units for the next few centuries. Even during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] the 'Mech's poor reputation meant many commanders saw it as a liability rather than an asset; unless they were fighting on a backwater [[Periphery]] world or as part of a poorly-equipped outfit, most ''Banshee''s were placed in second-line reserves to provide fire support or fulfill the role of brawlers so that better-armed 'Mechs need not engage in hand-to-hand combat. In this way fully a third of the original ''Banshee'' production run remained operational by the dawn of the [[thirty-first century]] and could be found throughout the [[Inner Sphere]] and Periphery, with the lion's share residing within the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 104</ref><ref name=TRSWp176f /> Though a few attempts had been made over the years to improve the ''Banshee'', Defiance Industries was the first to produce a variant which markedly improved on the original and was suggested by many of its original critics. With help from the [[Federated Suns]] and access to blueprints from the original [[Hesperus II]] factories, the BNC-3S proved to be such a success the Lyrans began fielding them in front line units, surprising their enemies who ignored them to focus on "real" threats with thoroughly unexpected firepower. Under the [[Federated Commonwealth]] improvements would continue to be made, though not at the same priority level as other projects, and the much-improved BNC-5S was active in time to meet the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/><ref name=TRSWp176f /> ==Weapons and Equipment== The two primary weapons on the ''Banshee'', a [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]] matched up with an [[Imperator-A]] [[Autocannon/5]] with one ton of ammo, are mounted in the right and left sides of its torso. The two systems complement each other with similar range profiles and would provide good firepower for a 'Mech weighing at half the tonnage of the ''Banshee''. Perversely for a close-combat 'Mech their minimum ranges means both weapons present targeting difficulties as the ''Banshee'' closes in on its enemy, and a [[Magna Mk I]] [[Small Laser]] mounted in its head appears to have been installed as an afterthought. Sixteen heat sinks help keep the 'Mech cool though, and thanks to its prodigious size the ''Banshee'' can turn lighter 'Mechs to scrap in hand-to-hand fighting.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=IRS>''Classic BattleTech Introductory Record Sheets'', p. 24</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 188</ref> ==Variants== *; BNC-1E : The original design first produced in [[2445]], this ''Banshee'' variant carries the PPC, Autocannon/5, and Small Laser of the later 3E, as well as a pair of [[medium laser]]s. As one of the largest 'Mechs produced with [[Primitive Technology|primitive technology]], the engine was restricted to a top speed of 54 km/h. More than twenty-two tons of [[Primitive Armor]] provided protection to the MechWarrior. The poor top speed of the ''Banshee''-1E was the core design obstacle later engineers would try to overcome in the 3E series. They succeeded, but at the cost of firepower.<ref name=XTRO:PV3p8>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', p. 8</ref> *; BNC-3EA : Exclusive to [[Noisiel]] and serving as one of the "Queens" in the [[Noisiel Summer Games]]' famed "BattleChess" matches, the low technology BNC-3EA trades the standard BNC-3E's PPC for a [[Large Laser]], saving weight to add a single rear-facing Small Laser to each side torso and forward facing [[medium laser]] in the center torso.<ref name=TTSN-15>''Touring the Sphere: Noisiel'', p. 15: "Noisiel Game Rules - Noisiel BattleChess - Noisiel BattleChess Pieces"</ref> *; BNC-3M : The 3M was the first attempt to truly alter the original ''Banshee'' and increase its raw firepower. Produced in [[2579]] by the [[Free Worlds League]] the 3M replaced the Autocannon/5 with a second PPC and installed two medium lasers. While this does increase the firepower of the 'Mech, it puts an incredible heat burden on the machine as well.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 1,267, BV (2.0) = 1,595<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 189</ref> *; BNC-3MC : The 3MC was developed by the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] around the time of the [[War of 3039]]. It removes five heat sinks and the AC/5 to make room for an [[Autocannon/10]] with two tons of ammunition. Armor protection, speed, and other weaponry remains the same as the -3E model ''Banshee''.<ref name=TRSWp176f /><ref name=TRSWp176f /><ref name=TRO3039/> BV (2.0) = 1,487<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 265</ref> *; BNC-3Mr : This [[Jihad]]-era field refit replaces the standard heat sinks with double strength models. An [[ER PPC]] and [[ER medium laser]]s replace the standard versions, with the updated heat sinks able to dissipate the increased heat.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 190</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,801<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Old is the New New'', p. 119</ref> *; BNC-3Q : A [[2915]] Marik variant produced due to a lack of PPCs, the 3Q removes both Autocannon/5 and PPC and replaces them with a massive [[Imperator-Zeta]] [[Autocannon/20]]. While this increases the sheer firepower that the ''Banshee'' brings to the fight, it also lacks any real secondary weapons and the fact that it has no long range firepower makes it even more vulnerable to bombardment from lighter, better armed 'Mechs.<ref name=TRSWp176f /><ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 1,151, BV (2.0) = 1,394<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 190</ref> *; BNC-3S : The [[3026]] 3S was Defiance Industries' attempt to turn the ''Banshee'' into a typical assault 'Mech, replacing the bulky GM engine with a lighter [[Pitban 285]]. While this reduces its maximum speed to 54 km/h, it also frees up a great deal of room for weapons. The 'Mech is armed with a mismatched pair of [[PPC]]s, the original torso-mounted Magna and a [[Donal]] version in the arm, for long range fire supported by an [[Imperator-B]] [[Autocannon/10]] to engage an enemy at intermediate ranges, four [[Magna Mk II]] [[medium laser]]s and a [[Harpoon-6]] [[SRM-6]] launcher for short-range combat, and finally a second [[Small Laser]] to round out the weapons payload. Five more heat sinks were added, though overheating remains a problem, and its armoring remains the same.<ref name=TRSWp176f /><ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRSWp176f /> BV (1.0) = 1,323,<ref name=CO>''Combat Operations'', p. 131</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,751<ref>''Record Sheets: 3030'', p. 191</ref> *; BNC-5S : An upgrade of the 3S variant using [[Star League]] technology, the 5S replaces the engine with an [[XL engine]] and uses [[double heat sink]]s to save weight, restoring its top speed to 64.8 km/h. The 'Mech is armed for long range combat with a [[Poland Main Model A]] [[Gauss rifle]] and two [[Defiance 1001]] [[ER PPC]]s. For close ranges, the 'Mech has a [[TharHes Maxi]] SRM-6, four [[Defiance B3M]] medium lasers, and two [[Defiance B3S]] Small Lasers, and is also equipped with an [[Angst Clear Channel 3]] comsys.<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 (Inner Sphere)'', p. 201</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,613,<ref name=CO /> BV (2.0) = 2,065<ref name=MUL67/> *; BNC-6S : The 6S variant of the ''Banshee'' is powered by a [[Light Fusion Engine]] and built on an [[Endo Steel]] chassis.

It turns the 'Mech into a brawler with the inclusion of [[Triple Strength Myomer]] and a [[Hatchet]]. It returns to the XL engine of the 5S and keeps the ubiquitous Small Laser. The LB-X Autocannon/10 is retained from the 6S, though it moves to the other side. An [[ER Large Laser]] is added for use at long range and a [[Snub-Nose PPC]] is effective at medium range, though it is more damaging up close. An [[XL Gyro]] frees up tonnage for four medium lasers, two standard and two extended range models, as well an [[ER Small Laser]]. The inclusion of only thirteen double heat sinks ensures that the myomer activates easily. A [[C3 slave unit]] allows the 8S to share targeting telemetry, though the fact that it is not one of the Word's improved versions suggests that this 'Mech is not intended for use by [[Word of Blake Militia]], but rather their mercenaries or even important planetary garrisons. Finally, eighteen tons of armor and a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] radically improve the defenses of the venerable ''Banshee''.<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 (Inner Sphere)'', p. 204</ref> BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 2,369<ref name=MUL67/> *; BNC-9S : This upgrade of the 8S was produced by Defiance Industries at their [[Kwangjong-ni]] annex while Word of Blake held Hesperus II.

Seeking to maximize protection, these engineers installed [[Armored Components|Armored Shoulder]] and [[Armored Components|Armored Hip]] actuators to prevent the 'Mech from losing a limb. The MechWarrior is protected by an [[Armored Cockpit]]. They also maximized protection by adding a ton of [[Modular Armor]] to each arm, leg, and forward torso. To make room for this equipment, they used an Endo Steel chassis and a [[Clan]]-spec XL engine. For weapons, the engineers installed a [[Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle]] and a pair of [[Bombast Laser]]s, while an [[ER Small Laser]] fills the head as an afterthought.
