==Overview:==
When Precentor Martial St. Jamais of the Word of Blake Militia needed a
new heavy scout ’Mech, he turned to Martinson Armaments. They had already
produced successful designs in the Spartan and Initiate BattleMechs, and were
eager to take on the task of creating a medium-class ’Mech capable of high
speeds as well as carrying heavy armor and weaponry sufficient for both attack
and protection. The Precentor Martial approved their new design, which they
called the Lightray, for production in 3064. Assembly was started soon after.
While that first production run was being manufactured, however, the
civil war between the Federated Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance was heating
up. Taking advantage of the two Houses’ preoccupation with each other, ROM
agents made successful attempts to steal new technology from each. From the
Federated Suns came targeting computer technology derived from captured Clan
plans and materials. Anxious to put this new technology to use, the Precentor
Martial ordered an alteration to the Lightray, removing some weaponry to
include a targeting computer. The assembly lines were retooled, and all
Lightrays produced since have carried the stolen Davion technology.
==Capabilities:==
The Lightray is much faster than most other BattleMechs its size, able to
reach a top speed of nearly 120 kilometers per hour in open areas. This is due
to its enormous 385 LTV extra-light engine, the largest manufactured for use
in 55-ton ’Mechs. The high speed makes the Lightray an effective scout and
harasser, though it lacks jump capability.
The weaponry it carries is quite effective as well. The Tronel large
pulse laser is extremely accurate when used with the targeting computer, and
the backup firepower of two ER medium lasers and an ER small laser benefit
from the targeting equipment as well. Though the Lightray carries fewer
weapons than many medium ’Mechs, it tends to hit more often with those it does
have. Tests and battle simulations have shown this to be the case, but
performance in actual combat has yet to be evaluated.
==Variants:==
Currently, there are two known Lightray variants. The first comes from
the first production run produced, before the targeting computer was added. It
carried two SRM-2s and a single ton of ammunition. The second variant was
quickly fielded when numerous MechWarriors complained about the lack of ranged
weaponry, regardless of the Lightray’s speed; this variant replaces the large
pulse laser with an ER PPC.
==Deployment==
Lightrays have been sent to every Militia Division, though the Fourth
Division has received the bulk of them, having been given the order to test
them more thoroughly.
