Description

The Black Knight 6B was the harder-hitting, cooler-running Star League ancestor to the standard BL-6-KNT we have today. It did everything the 6 does, but better-mostly thanks to its Double Heat Sinks, which are basically nonexistent these days.

Description

Designed by ComStar in the lead up to the Battle of Tukayyid as one of the so-called Clanbuster refits, the BL-9-KNT is still energy-focused but carries a close-range surprise for anyone who closes with it, a mighty Hatchet. The remainder of the mech's aresenal is very much Black Knight-ish: 4 Medium Pulse Lasers, 2 Large Lasers, a Large Pulse Laser, and an ER PPC. 17 DHS try to keep the heat under control but are inadequate for the task if the pilot is aggressive with the weapons.

Description

Based on ComStar's Clanbuster Black Knight, the BL-10X-KNT is a radical departure from standard Black Knights. In the left arm is the Clanbuster's Hatchet but in the right, instead of a brace of energy weapons, the -10X carries a massive Ultra Autocannon/20. These weapons are backed by 4 Medium Pulse Lasers, making the -10X an incredible force of destruction in close-quarters combat. However, that power comes with a price: it runs a bit hot and has a fragile XL engine, meaning a critical hit to its generous 4-ton ammo bin and the mech is destroyed instantly.

Description

Patterned after a MechWarrior who served House Davion in the War of 3039, Partisan is a customized arena design using a mix of downgraded Succession Wars technology and cutting-edge tech. Partisan carries the standard Black Knight mix of lasers but mixes it up with an Autocannon/5 and a SRM-2. Double heat sinks keep it cold while Triple-Strength Myomer is a nod to the mech's use as a gladiator.

Description

The personal mech of Reginald VanJaster, the Red Reaper is a brutally powerful arena design taken straight from the arenas of Solaris VII. Armed primarily with a Large Vibroblade and Large Shield, Red Reaper looks somewhat like a medieval knight. Of course, medieval knights don't also come with a Heavy PPC with capacitor and a quintet of Medium X-Pulse Lasers, but that's modern life for you. The Red Reaper proved a hit in the arenas and led VanJaster to success as a gladiator.

Description

The BL-12 was probably the most technologically advanced version of the Black Knight leading up to the Jihad. While still based on the original BL-6 model this design goes in a completely different direction from the BL-9. Introduced in 3063 the first thing that was done to the BL-12 was the upgrade of all of the medium lasers and the PPC to extended range versions, then its single heat sinks were upgraded to double strength versions, reducing the total number from twenty to sixteen. Finally, all of the weapons were mated to a Targeting Computer.
