Description

The Excalibur was designed by the Star League to serve as a sniper and fire support design that used superior mobility to dictate the terms of engagement on the battlefield. Powered by a 350-rated XL engine and protected by a light 7.5 tons of armor, the Excalibur is configured for ranged combat with a Gauss Rifle and LRM-20 with Artemis IV fire control. It has no close-range backup weapons, relying entirely on its high speed for defense. Thankfully, the 11 standard heat sinks keep the weapons cooled perfectly.

Description

Developed in the years after Operation Klondike in the Clan Homeworlds, the EXC-B2b-EC is an Early Clan innovation on the Excalibur chassis. Clan Wolf technicians replaced the weapons with a battery of experimental early Clan prototypes, including an Improved Gauss Rifle, an Improved LRM-20 with Artemis IV, and Early Clan ER Medium and Small Lasers. This freed up enough weight to improve the armor dramatically while retaining the Excalibur's high ground speed. Though forgotten by the modern Clans, the EXC-B2b-EC can still rarely be found in the hands of Dark Caste bandits.

Description

The Excalibur was designed by the Star League to serve as a sniper and fire support design that was received rather poorly in its day due to poor armoring, even if it had a great warload. However, in the late 3050s, ComStar and the Terran Hegemony put the Excalibur back into service with a new variant, the EXC-C1. Powered by the same 350-rated XL engine and equipped with the same Gauss Rifle and LRM-20, the C1's major innovations were the use of double heat sinks, the addition of a backup Medium Laser, and an increase in armor coverage to 9 tons.

Description

After the resurrection of the Terran Hegemony, ComStar found itself a part of a greater nation. To support the Hegemony's armed forces, ComStar put many refit programs into place for their older Star League chassis. One such refit is the EXC-CS. Powered by a 350-rated XL engine and built on an Endo-Steel skeleton, the -CS uses an ER PPC and LRM-20 (with Artemis IV) for ranged firepower. However, it also uses a battery of four ER Medium Lasers supplemented by Triple Strength Myomer for close-range punch. An advanced targeting computer ensures it is all highly accurate.

Description

ComStar was not the only group to make use of the Excalibur. The Word of Blake took many with them during their schism and apparently put them through their own refit program, resulting in the EXC-D1. The -D1 is built on the same 350-rated XL engine and Endo-Steel frame as the EXC-CS but takes a very different approach to firepower. It is armed with a Rotary AC/5, Streak SRM-6, and two ER Medium Lasers, all tied into a targeting computer for maximum accuracy. A C3i unit ensures the Excalibur can link up with its forcemates easily enough and 5 jump jets give the mech unexpected maneuverability.
