Mech production question circa 3130s+

[bblaney]

So can anyone tell me if the following designs are still being produced 3130+

Nightstar
Marauder II
Warhammer
Cerebus
Gunslinger

Thanks!!!!!

We know the Marauder II has that one secret Irian factory, and I'm fairly certain that the Warhammer will never die, though I don't know exactly where or by whom in this era.

As Weirdo said the Marauder II 6S was being produced on Irian a bit before Nov 3133 though it was secret until that time (think Cappies found it out) when word spread through the IS.  This caused the splinter factions in the Republic all to race to try to control the factory.  Oriente did not land or try by diplomacy to bring Irian into their fold (per MWDA books) to avoid a diplomatic confrontation with the Republic and later neighbors after the Fortress went up.  It did not matter much since they and later the NeoFWL had de jure control of the world & production.

Nightstar?  Well was it one of those factories that got nuked in the Jihad?

Warhammer is still being produced I think- you have DefHes, the Regulan Factory and the FWL planet the Chaos Irregulars were defending.

Cerberus did not survive the fall of the FWL I think.

Gunslinger probably dropped off in the Jihad, Dracs have better designs in '45 anyway.

Nightstar, production was destroyed in the Jihad, no production since.
Marauder II, the already mentioned MAD-6S, Irian.
Cerberus: MR-V2 still in production in 3145, restored just before dark age at Hun Ho. (Vaguely reference FM3145).
Gunslinger: GUN-1ERD and 2ERD in production still, Hesperus II.
Warhammer: WHM-11T, WHM-10CT, WHM-9S, WHM-9D, WHM-8M, WHM-8D, WHM-8D2, WHM-6Rb, WHM-5L and WHM-4L still in production.  And even the WHM-6R in Randis.

The Cerberus was never produced in the FWL. It was made by LexaTech in the DC and they have at least one model of it in production in 3145.

At the end of the Jihad or shortly afterwards, several different models of Warhammer were in production at various sites in the Federated Suns, former Free Worlds League, Capellan Confederation and Draconis Combine, as well as possibly within the Republic. By 3145 the Brotherhood of Randis were also producing the baseline 6R.

Both of the Nightstar lines were destroyed during the Jihad. There is no indication of of they were rebuilt or not.

The Gunslinger is unknown but possibly not. Both of its factories were heavily damaged during the Jihad, and the only new variant is a field refit rather then a production model.

The Marauder II is in production on Irian.

Ouch. Not even the armored Cerberus.

Ouch. Not even the armored Cerberus.

The 5M and 6B were FWL refits only.
The V3...I think is likely in DC production.  It's an artifact of how we list it as a field refit.  We never listed it as a "production line". IE. Feel free to make them V3s.
