Smoke Jaguar Dossier: Jenner IIC

Smoke Jaguar Dossier 

Type: Battlemech

Name: Jenner IIC

Mech Class: Light

Weight: 35 Tons

Tech Base: Clan

Description:
The Jenner was first fielded in 2784, the same year the Exodus fleet that would eventually become the Clans left the Inner Sphere. How exactly they acquired this design is not known, but what is known is that the Clan version fields Clan weaponry, so it is known as the Jenner IIC. This second-line BattleMech is still a fast light that is now capable of delivering plenty of short-range missiles. To achieve this, it uses an XL Engine, Endo Steel structure, and mounts only three and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. It also carries enough jump jets to leap up to 210 meters at a time. This results in an expensive garrison 'Mech, but one that is still in production nonetheless.

Armament: 
This fast striker carries a Streak SRM-4 and two SRM-6 launchers. This hail of missiles can quickly overcome a light 'Mech, though it does leave the Jenner IIC vulnerable to opponents who mount an Anti-Missile System.

Variants:
Jenner IIC 2 - This support variant replaces the short-range missile launchers with an ER Large Laser and an LRM-5. A Small Pulse Laser provides defense against conventional infantry and other units that stray too close. Its jumping capacity is increased to 270 meters.


Captain Nash's Mission #2 Analysis:  Clan SRM boat.  Would be more scary if thee clanner's didn't stick to one on one duels.  Very little armor on this thing.  If it slows down enough to hammer it, do so.

  1. Mmmmmmmmm, looking forward to some Jenner on Jenner action. Oh wait- that's a Clan IIC? After seeing the Clan Locust IIC maybe I'll Pearl Harbor him first...

  2. Heh, Only time I'd be afraid of a Jenner IIC is if I had some holes in my armor. It's really not that good of a mech...especially for a clan mech.

    Which of course means he will get 3 kills in the next game. ;)
