Description

Like most superheavies, the Xerxes is an experimental weapons platform designed for heavy siege operations. Designed in secret by the Capellan Confederation after captured Word of Blake and Steiner superheavy examples the Xerxes is a slow and ponderous machine but has the reach to hit just about anything anywhere. Armed with a heavy battery of large LRM launchers, the Xerxes can also call upon a Gauss Rifle for direct fire needs. The armor is incredibly thick and CASE protects the extensive ammunition bins.

Description

Reverse-engineered based on a captured Capellan XER-4S, the XER-4W is a dedicated artillery mech armed with prototype Ultra Arrow IV launchers able to fire twice as fast as the standard launcher, the prototype is also equipped with experimental heat sinking equipment and improved simultaneous multi-target capabilities based on captured Clan technology. The lack of medium and short-range weaponry makes the design dependent on spotters working alongside the XER-4W, but the design compensates it with the overwhelming amount of artillery firepower it can field.
