This is a unique 200 ton mobile field base is the ultimate answer to their problem. Nobody knows it origin, but it goes definitely back to early Star Leagues times. It has been observed by only a few eye witnesses and mainly The Watch scouts in the Periphery and last at Wark and Trinity. It is assumed that is way originally prototyped as a drone lunch and command center that it at the maximum limits to fit into larger drop ships. For this purpose it hat various parts that can be retracted. Unfolded they give additional space for the crew and leisure space for Mech pilots or other crews. An Explorer Corps report speculated that this is actually the backbone field base of some covert operations in the deep periphery between the Homeworlds and the Inner Sphere. The current layout shows various salvaged clan weapon systems and some IS equipment. So currently there is a ATM 12 launcher, two Streak SRM 6 launchers, four ER Medium Lasers and two Anti-Missile Systems. This equipment is meant to defend the field base. In the equipment range there is a state of the art Angel ECM Suite, Command Console, Drone Launcher, storage and maintenance equipment and more. Even with the ECM the best defense will be not to be near to any hostiles for such a slow high value asset."
