Overview:
The Vanguard is Coldstream Technologies' first attempt at producing an assault mech. Being their first, they went for a rounded design, with a variety of weapons to maximise its usefulness. They also opted to use tried and tested technology to limit costs and make it easy to maintain.
Capabilities:
A close inspection of the Vanguard reveals no major surprises. The design team went with the popular PPC/gauss rifle combo as it's main armament, enhancing its long-range capability with an Artemis-augmented LRM-10 rack.
At shorter ranges it can engage the enemy with its bank of medium lasers and Streak missile rack.
Defensively, it carries sixteen tons of ferro-fibrous armour, which doesn't sound like a lot for an assault class mech, but in fact is over 90% of the maximum amount. The Vanguard also mounts an ECM suite to help ensure its longevity on the battlefield.
Battle History:
To date the Vanguard has not participated in any engagements.
Deployment
The prototypes are currently undergoing field tests at Coldtream's Exeter facility.
