Its slim profile shows that it is obviously specially designed for Manei Domini troopers, since their use of [[Manei Domini#Manei Domini Cybernetics|cybernetic enhancements]] make up for the muscular bulk that "frail" [[Elemental]]s and their [[Inner Sphere]] counterparts need to operate battle armor. Its weaponry is geared towards sweeping urban areas clear of unarmored [[infantry]], its 200kg of advanced armor is enough to stop a [[Medium Laser]] and its superior mobility allows it to get to and from trouble spots quickly.<ref name="JHS:3072p142"/><ref name="TRO:3075p16+"/> == Weapons and Equipment == The primary weapon of the Djinn is its [[Machine Gun (Battle Armor)|Machine gun]]. While it is somewhat effective against armored targets, a Djinn squad can annihilate an infantry [[platoon]] in seconds. Each trooper also carries a [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]], which can call down homing artillery and missiles with equal ease, making the battlesuit a threat to any unit. Each of the Djinn's arms ends in a [[Battle Claw]], aiding it during anti-[['Mech]] attacks and allowing it to ride an [[OmniMech]] into battle, while a [[Battle Armor Partial Wing|partial wing configuration]] allows it to make jumps of one hundred twenty meters.<ref name="JHS:3072p142"/><ref name="TRO:3075p16+"/> == Variants == *;Stealth : First seen in [[Introduction Year::3071]]<ref name="MUL2"/> accompanying [[Purifier]]s, the stealth variant was first thought to be superior to the standard model in every way until careful study revealed otherwise. While the stealth model retains the partial wing structure this is only to confuse the enemy as to which model it is since all of the necessary flight controls and avionics have been removed, limiting its jumping ability to ninety meters. The removal of the flight systems and weaponry allows the stealth model to carry 40kg more of advanced armor, a [[Camo System]] similar to the Purifier's, and the inclusion of a [[David Light Gauss Rifle (Battle Armor)|"David" Light Gauss Rifle]], turning it into a formidable sniper.

Instead the chassis carried 330kg of [[Reflective Armor]]. Each arm carries a single Battle Claw, and the Djinn Terrorizer can be equipped with a Machine Gun, Small Laser, or Flamer. The Terrorizer has a jump radius of 30 meters as it doesn't have the partial wing used by the standard Djinn.<ref name="XTRO:MWp15">''Experimental Technical Readout: Most Wanted'', p. 15, "Djinn Terrorizer"</ref> BV (2.0) = 36 (flamer, machine gun variants)<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Most Wanted'', pp. 28-29, "Record Sheets"</ref>, 42 (small laser variant)<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Most Wanted'', p. 30, "Record Sheets"</ref><ref name="MUL3">[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/5794/djinn-battle-armor-reflective-terrorizer-laser/ MUL online date for the Djinn (Terrorizer) variant]</ref> == Design Quirks == The Djinn "Terrorizer" variant is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name="XTRO:MWp15"/> * [[Difficult to Maintain]] * [[Modular Weapons]] == Notable Troopers == [[Ghost (Manei Domini Rank)|Ghost]] Adept Omega [[Berit Smitty]] is a battle armor squad commander in the [[Forty-seventh Shadow Division]]. == Gallery == <gallery> File:Djinn.PNG|Original ''Djinn'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3075|TRO:3075]]'' Image:Demon BA.jpg|''Djinn'' Battle Armor from ''[[A Time of War]]'' </gallery> == References == <references /> == Bibliography == * ''[[Experimental Technical Readout: Most Wanted]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: 3072]]'' * ''[[Master Unit List]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3075]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3075]]'' [[Category:Battle Armor|Djinn]] [[Category:Light Battle Armor|Djinn]] [[Category:Inner Sphere Battle Armor|Djinn]] [[Category:Word of Blake Battle Armor|Djinn]]
