Fafnir (BattleMech)

In the BattleTech Universe, the Fafnir is the Lyran Commonwealth's most powerful Mech', weighing just as much as an Atlas or Daishi, but it is relatively unique since it cannot wield missiles. It was created by Defiance Industries, whom saw it fit to create a Mech' similar to their failed Defiance, but only guaranteed to succeed. This was the result, and it was favored by the Lyrans during the FedComm Civil War.

Armament
The Fafnir is meant for a frontline assault role, and with that in mind it is equipped with the largest weapon a Mech' can carry: the ballistic Heavy Gauss Rifle. Most Mech's equipped with Gauss Rifles cannot equip other large weapons, but the Fafnir's chassis is meant to solve that problem, and it goes further; it can mount Twin Gauss Rifles, and ironically, that is it's standard armament, along with Dual Inner Sphere Large Lasers and Dual Inner Sphere Medium Lasers. Though quite slow, it also ha thick armor, and can carry alot of alternatives to it's standard armament, such as the favored Quad Light Gauss Rifles paired with Twin Clan or Inner Sphere PPCs, which is an edgy sniper mode, or other modifications that make the Fafnir fit in most assault roles. It's limiting factor is that it can only mount Ballistics or Lasers.

Characteristics
The Fafnir is well known for it's large body, since it mounts Twin Gauss Rifles. The Mech' is easily spotted and distinguishable, and can be brought down only with brute force on it's legs. The problem is that once it gets within 600 meters of an enemy, it's Twin Gauss Rifles can be deadly.
