History:
The Assault Rifle was created by a former FS Captain who's homeworld was continually attacked by the CC, and the FS did very little to protect it. After she retired from the military, she started working on a weapon to combat stealth armor.Looking into how to counter stealth armor with a weapon, she remembered the the stealth armor is based off of older tech mixed with new tech. So she looked into the past to see if there was a weapon the she could work with.She discovered the the old Rifle had the potential to evolve into a new weapon. After designing a prototype, she showed it to the FS military, but stated they didn't need anything like this. And that basing it off of such old tech was pointless. Then her homeworld was attacked by the CC again. Again the FS did very little. After this she decided to leave the FS for a place where her family would be far from both the FS and CC. She moved to the MH who were interested in new weapon development at the time. After showing them her weapon, the MH agreed to start the development of the new weapon, but from scratch. This proved to be the best action to take, since the MH was willing to invest so much into the weapon.

Explanation:
The reason For the AR shell doing 2x dmg to stealth armor, is that the shell has a electro-magnetic battery in it, near the tip of the projectile. When the projectile hits the target, the EMB is ignited, and the electrical charge is sent into the hole of the armor during the explosion. Modern AC ammo was not capable of holding the EMB for reasons that are still somewhat unknown. But Rifle ammo could hold the EMB. Some believe it's because Rifle shells are so large for a smaller weapon. This EM burst affects the heat baffles and components inside the specially designed armor plating. This creates a sort of splash dmg in a 1 meter radius of the point of impact. There is also a 1 in 20 chance of a weapon, or limb joint glitching out when hit. The weapon refuses to fire, or the elbow joint goes limp and drops to the side of the mech, etc. This side effect lasts only for a few seconds, then the affected item returns to normal. On non-stealth armor this side effect has a 1 in 80 chance of happening. And only last for a fraction of a second.
Somewhat similar to a PPC blast messing with your HUD and radar.

Hello all,
This will be the first two new Battlemechs that I will be posting here. They don't use any of my original weapons. I'm still working on those mechs, and will post them when I'm done. Granted these are done using SSW. For the original weapons, I'll be partially using SSW. So here they are. And yes, you can use them in you own BT campaigns and universes. Please not that the "Production Year: 3333" is not canon for my thing. Since I don't state actual years, just think of it as at fill-in date. And since i was gone for so long, I've updated myself on how the BT-verse is going. This won't alter my alt-verse. At least, not the first 100 years. after I have everything down for that, I'll see how the next 100 years will be, while trying to add all the new stuff from BT prime.

EDIT: I'm now adding years to my machines. sort-of. This is mainly to give everyone a better time frame of when the mechs and such came out and when events happened. Some will still have the 3333, though.

I know all of you saw this one coming. It was a give-in.

Overview:
Considered the fully upgraded version of the CN9-H, this was to be the main
medium mech for the Hegemony. It appeared six years before the war with the
FWL, and proved its worth during the military actions before the conflict. But
it became apparent that the mech wasn't fit for defensive actions during the
war.

Capabilities:
To make the mech stand out from the original, MAI and ATC modified the frame to
look more like a fully armored Ceturion from ancient Terra, giving it the more
rugged look. Retaining the Autocannon the CN9-H had, but doubling its ammo, was
seen as the best course to take. With an even split with the types of
ammunition, the mech could deal with battle armor and mechs fairly well. To
make sure the pilot survives an ammo explosion, CASE was added. With four
Rocket Launchers, three 10's and one 20, it was believed this would be enough
for the shock strikes the mech was going to take part in. The standard medium
laser was upgraded to an ER one, and another laser added to the rear.
Being powered by a powerful 250 light engine, imported from the Lyran company
Heracles Engines, gave this variant of the Centurion greater speed, and more of
a shock value to its opponents. Eleven double heat sinks keep the mech cool
without much trouble when not in a hot enviroment or in heavy fighting. Eight
tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor makes this sturdy mech even more so. Unfortunately,
flaws with its armor became apparently clear during the FWL war.
First was that the armor had issues with extended strain in colder climates.
Second was that the armor took longer to repair when time was short. And third
is the fact that the rear of the mech has little armor. The designers didn't
think rear armor was needed as much, since the mech was meant for attacking,
and not defending. The heat sinks also have issues dealing with heat if the
mech is in constant combat, causing random shutdowns while in battle. Due to
these flaws, after the war Marian Arms created another variant to fill in for
the defensive positions the -H4 wasn't meant for.

Deployment:
I Legio, II Legio and IV Legio have recieved the most of the -H4's. With the
tactics these units use, the -H4 was meant for them. Unfortunately, after the
war, the -H4 was looked down on due to its poor performance. Most of those that
survived were given to new pilots in favour of better suited mechs. When the
-H6 was sent to fill in the defencive roles the -H4 failed at, those same -H4's
were teamed up with -H6's. Both variants are sold on the open market, but only
a handfull are ever listed for sale by the Hegemony. At ATC's rebuilt plant on
Perdition in the Taurian Concordat, this is not the case. While both are built
there, the -H6 is produced more for the TDF. More of the -H4 and -H6 are sold
to all interested parties in this part of space, including the Federated Suns.

Variants:
After the war the -H6 was developed. It had an Ultra AC/10 in place of the LB
10-X with three tons of ammo. Replacing the Rocket Launchers is an MML-7 with
two tons of missiles. The two ER medium lasers are kept, and CASE is epuipped
in both torsos. The engine is lowered to a 200 rating, making its speed closer
to other Centurions. Its armor is now better placed, giving better protection
in the rear. Most other issues were dealt with during the development of this
design.

Additional:
This mech and its variant looks like the MWO Centurion.
