Fesnyng-class DropShip
« on: 03 May 2017, 04:30:11 »
From my AU, this is based on the DropShip in this link

http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=44120.0

Inspired by a unit created by James Tanaga

Fesnyng
Tech:
              Inner Sphere / 3107
Vessel Type:       Aerodyne DropShip

Mass:              30,000 tons
Length:            313 meters
Power Plant:       Standard
Safe Thrust:       5
Maximum Thrust:    8
Armor Type:        Ferro-aluminum
Armament:          
   12 Heavy Gauss Rifle
   25 LRM-20 With Artemis FCS
   11 Laser AMS
   12 Large Pulse Laser

Overview
   This DropShip was developed from a design that had been shelved by the
Lyran Commonwealth following the creation of the Fesnyng Rapid Response Units.
The DropShip is designed to transport the entire unit and be able to fight its
way to a planet if neccessary.

Capabilities
   The Fesnyng is thirty thousand tons and capable of four gravities of
accelleration.  The hull is coated with almost ninty-five tons of Ferro
Alluminum armour and carries eleven laser anti-missile systems.
   The ship carries twelve heavy gauss rifles, twenty-five twenty tube
long range missile and twelve laser pulse rifles for offensive firepower.
Carried inside the DropShip are six aerospace fighters which can add additional
firepower to attack or more defence.
   In addition to the six aerospace fighters in the cargo bay are twelve
BattleMech Bays, twelve light combat vehicles, four heavy vehicles and room
for twelve squads worth of Battle Armour suits.  In addition the Fesnyng has
a mobile Hyper Pulse Generator and a MASH facility capable of supporting the
unit.  These facilities have also been used to support worlds facing humanitarian
disasters supporting populations and calling for additional support.

Deployment
   Since 3107 the first DropShip of this class has been deployed with the
First Fesnyng which is based on York.  Since then several more have been added
to Lyran units serving with the Second, Third and Fourth Fesnyng commands and
other units.

My three main Alternate Timeline with Thanks fan-fiction threads are in the links below. I'm always open to suggestions or additions to be incorporated so if you feel you wish to add something feel free. There's non-canon units, equipment, people, events, erm...

I'll be honest I completely forgot about it :D I only remembered when I was adding the additional Fesnyng units to the LCAF

yup I liked the original when I saw it on the forum and had to think of a way to get it into the AU.  When James Tanaga suggested the Fesnyng units for the LCAF I put two and two together and the Lyrans got a new toy.  I was actually tempted to make it worse adding the Improved Heavy Gauss and Extended LRMs but have so far resisted the urge.

I haven't fully written up the units themselves but their warriors are mainly former militia troopers who have been taken from their planetary formations and given a more mobile role.

Their job is one of an aggressive defence where they strike at forces that threaten the safety of the Lyran Commonwealth (which at the moment is the Fire Mandrills, Stone Spirits, Wolves and Falcons) they generally strike in the back areas of an aggressor disrupting supply routes and command and control facilities.

The original Fesnyng held off the Spirits fighting independently of support keeping the Spirits off balance.

The new DropShip is intended on getting these units to their targets and if necessary getting them out.

I'll maybe write up the Fesnyng fully
