Description

Known as the 'Avenging Angel', the VND-1AA was an attempt to increase the Vindicator's mobility - which succeeded. However, the cost was to reduce its armor to that of a Light 'Mech.


Bonuses

Mech Quirk: Rugged

45 structure points, 65 stability threshold


Pilot Affinity: Resistant

50% less chance to suffer critical hits


Factions

The VND-1AA can be found with these forces:

  • Free Rasalhague Republic
  • Taurian Concordat

Description

Vindicator 1Rs tend to deal their damage at range while moving in for closer attacks. Typically well armored, they're capable of some surprise attacks due to their jump capability and above-average heat efficiency.


Bonuses

Mech Quirk: Rugged

45 structure points, 65 stability threshold


Pilot Affinity: Resistant

50% less chance to suffer critical hits


Factions

The VND-1R can be found with these forces:

Description

Created as a field modification of a Vindicator-1R by a pilot who wanted a little more direct firepower as well as some anti-infantry capability, the -2AN is a simple change. The mech loses a few heat sinks and the Small Laser to gain a second Medium Laser and a Flamer, both in the left arm. The remaining tonnage goes to extra armor.

45 structure points, 65 stability threshold


Pilot Affinity: Resistant

50% less chance to suffer critical hits

Description

The Vindicator 2MC is an experimental Canopian upgrade based on the 1R variant, making use of rediscovered technology bought from the Inner Sphere. Its defining features are the XXL 270 engine, ferro-fibrous armor and two Plasma Rifles drawing on three tons of ammo. The LRM5 remaining from the original design is upgraded to feed from a bin of FTL missiles.

Description

Designed by the St. Ives Compact as a weapons testbed, the VND-2SIC proved effective enough to become a production model. The -2SIC uses a Medium and Small X-Pulse Laser for close-range combat while a Mech Mortar/4 provides AMS-proof ranged firepower. Backing these experimental weapons up is a dependable ER PPC. The -2SIC also takes a cue from the ill-fated VND-1AA and increases the mech's ground speed to that of a Wolverine. It is well armored and uses double heat sinks to keep the heat under control.

Description

The 3L variant is a basic upgrade using recovered Star League technology. The PPC was upgraded to a ER PPC and the medium and small lasers have been removed in favor of a single Medium Pulse Laser. To handle the extra heat from the new ER PPC double heat sinks were added while CASE was installed to protect the LRM's ammunition.
