Description
The Lynx was first produced by Blue Shot Weapons of Solaris VII for use by the SLDF. The factory to produce the Lynx was destroyed in 2928 and the Lynx did not see production again until 3056. The Lynx is powered by a Nissan 275 XL engine that allows the 'Mech to reach speeds of up to 86.4 km/h. Adding to its mobiity five Luxor Load Lifters jump jets provide the Lynx with a jumping distance of up to one hundred and fifty meters. The Lynx is protected by twelve tons of Kallon Unity Weave armor providing almost the maximum protection that a fifty-five ton 'Mech can carry. Finally to dissipate the waste heat produced by all of its energy weapons the Lynx has fifteen double heat sinks are carried by the 'Mech.
Armament
The Lynx is intended for long term independant operations as well as protracted combat. To carry out the 'Mechs intended combat roles the Lynx carries a Defiance 1001 ER PPC giving it an effective range of six hundred and ninety meters. Backing up the ER PPC is a Defiance B3L Large Laser that gives the Lynx even more firepower in the medium to long range envelope. For close range combat the Lynx has a quartet of Defiance B3M Medium Lasers that can eviscerate an enemy at short-range.
Variants
- LNX-9C - The 9C variant of the Lynx engances its short-range firepower. This is done by removing the Large Laser and replacing it with a pair of Streak SRM-2 launchers that add to its already devestating short-range arsenal. BV (1.0) = 1,478
- LNX-9R - A very basic upgrade of the Lynx the 9R replaces the Large Laser with an ER Large Laser extending its effective range and making it more complimentary to the ER PPC at the cost of greater waste heat. BV (1.0) = 1529
