Overview:
First built in 2550 as one of the SLDF's earliest assault 'Mechs, the Striker has proved its
worth many times over. As technological advancements enabled the Star League to build
heavier assault 'Mechs, the Striker was relegated to second line and garrison units. Over
the long centuries of the Succession Wars the number of Strikers left in the Inner Sphere
steadily decreased, and at present less than 300 Strikers remain operational. The primary
production facility for the Striker was destroyed during a Kurita raid in 2867, and no new
Strikers have been produced in recent years.
Capabilities:
Built with the largest fusion engine available at the time of its initial design, the
Striker was the fastest and heaviest 'Mech in the Star League inventory until advances in
technology displaced it. The massive weight of the Striker's engine limited the weapons the
design team could install, but they gave the 'Mech the heaviest arsenal it could carry. The
primary weapon is a HellStar PPC, supplemented by a large laser to give the Striker a
knockout one-two punch. Secondary weapons are an AC-5 with one ton of ammunition and three
medium lasers. The Striker also has fifteen heat sinks and thirteen and a half tons of
armor.
Variants
The only known variant of the Striker, the 2D model used by the Capellan Confederation,
replaces the original fifteen heat sinks with twelve double heat sinks and adds two tons of
armor. In addition, the HellStar PPC is replaced with a Magna FireStar extended range PPC,
and the three medium lasers are replaced with two medium pulse lasers.
Deployment:
The armed forces of House Steiner and House Liao possess most of the Star League-era
Strikers, and all of the Steiner machines remain in military forces stationed in the Lyran
Alliance. House Liao has recently deployed its Strikers in its front line 'Mech units,
whereas most Lyran Strikers are in militia units along the Steiner Periphery border near
Marik space. The rest of the known Strikers are spread throughout the Inner Sphere and the
Periphery, reportedly in the possession of several mercenary units.

It has excellent overlapping firepower means that it can really put the hurt at all ranges.
Another excellent bracket fighter. The A/C 5 might be the odd ball in this otherwise all energy config, but its a nice complement to the PPC while generating only 1 heat. Even then the mech is not too reliant on the AC-5.
It has plenty of guns left even when ammo is gone.

A good assault mech with serious firepower at different ranges, respectable armor and good speed.
The weapons tend to overtax the heatsinks quite easily but with some firediscipline its able to keep the pressure on!

For 3025 I can't think of a better assault for a campaign thats going to run long and far from ammo depots.
Its also got the armour to take a pounding and let it dish out its weapons for rounds on end.
Still like most assaults its out of date by 3050. So remember its time sensitive.

A well rounded assault mech with some heat issues, use it as a support mech because in the heat of a brawl it will glow red.
The AC adds a nice amount of firepower which augments the main weapons nicely. Just make sure you manage the heat. Water is esspecially nice to this mech.

This is a very nice assault Battlemech, with very nice long-range firepower, but which does not sacrifice the ability to defend itself in a brawl. It will tend to overheat, even with fifteen heat sinks, but if the pilot relies on salvo firing most of the time the heat should remain manageable, barring engine damage. If you can park this 'mech in some good cover at medium range; you should be able to get away with firing the PPC, Large Laser, and AC/5 every other round. On the cooling rounds, cut the Large Laser, and the heat will drop back down to zero so long as the 'mech remains stationary. .
