OmniFighters of the Seeker AU

[master arminas]

As with the OmniMechs, the Scorpions sought to streamline the burden of logistics by standarizing their OmniFighters.  Three designs were chosen, replacing all others in service.  In a stunning move, the Scorpions designed these fighters for suvivability, rather than raw firepower, not wanting to lose the (relatively) few trained Pilots within their touman.

We start this one out with the light-weight fast-moving Sarmatia.

Overview
The Sarmatia is Clan Goliath Scorpions standard light-class OmniFighter. 
Introduced in 3056, the Sarmatia has been the subject of much controversy
amongst the Clans . . . at 45 tons this OmniFighter is at the very top of its
weight class.   The other Clans have expressed their concern for the cost of
this OmniFighter, but the Scorpions spared no expense to ensure maximum
possible acceleration and armor protection . . . leaving the design with just
nine tons of pod space.   Space that has been further reduced by the inclusion
of a Clan targeting computer in all configurations.
 
Detractors point out that the 35-ton Avar has the same acceleration and
fourteen tons of pod-space . . . to which the Scorpions respond by
highlighting that the Sarmatia has four and a half tons more armor protection
and two more of fuel tankage.   But it is the cost of the design that has made
this OmniFighter a pariah among most Clans:   being more than 43% more
resource intensive than the Avar.
 
However, in the years prior to the Scorpion Abjuration, the opinion of the
Sarmatia slowly began to change, as the value of the heavier armor and
increased fuel tankage proved itself time and again in Trials. 
Unfortunately, the Homeworld Clans waited too long, and this very capable
OmniFighter remains an exclusive Scorpion possession to this day.

Capabilities
Massing 45 tons, the Sarmatia stretches the very limits of what one might
consider a light-class OmniFighter.   Power is provided by a 360-rate
extra-light fusion engine which allows this fighter to safetly accelerate at a
thrust of 5-g's and reach full power sprints of 7.5-g's . . . comparable to
the Inner Sphere's 30-ton Centurion.   Ten double strength heat sinks are
fitted to the chassis as standard and the design lacks Clan CASE, although
only the Sarmatia D carries explosive munitions internally.   This omission
was deliberate on the part of the Scorpions as any ordnance explosion
channeled through CASE still results in the destruction of the OmniFighter in
the majority of cases . . . instead the Sarmatia is equipped with an
auto-eject system that automatically ejects the pilot in the event of an
ammunition explosion.   Nine tons of pod space are very light for a Clan
light-class OmniFighter, but in exchange the Sarmatia carries five full tons
of fuel (more than any other Clan light-weight design except the Sulla and
equal to most IS aerospace fighters) and no less than eleven and a half tons
of ferro-aluminum armor plating.   This massive amount of armor (for a light
OmniFighter) gives the Sarmatia immunity to thresholding by Clan ER Medium
Lasers on the nose and wings; the stern is vulnerable to both Clan ER Small
and IS Medium Lasers.
 
All configurations of the Sarmatia can carry up to nine tons of external
ordnance in a single massive bay underneath the fuselage, although doing so
will reduce the acceleration to 4-g's and 6-g's.   If only five tons are
carried, acceleration is 4.5-gs and 7-g's.   This heavy capacity for ordnance
ensures that the Sarmatia sees much use as a fighter-bomber in the Scorpion
touman.
 
The Prime Configuration carries an ER Large Laser in the nose and one ER
Medium Laser in each wing, along with a two-ton Targeting Computer and an
eleventh double-strength heat sink.   Primarily deployed as an interceptor,
the Sarmatia Prime relies on the reach of its ER Large Laser to target faster
aerospace fighters.   However, its excellent heat dissipation allows for the
use of all three weapons in close, making it a solid dog-fighter as well.
 
Configuration A and configuration B are almost identical . . . differing only
in that the A carries an Active Probe in the nose and the B carries an ECM
Suite.   Both models are outfitted with four ER Medium Lasers (two in the
nose, and one each in the right and left wings), and two ER Small Lasers (one
each in the right and left wings).   A one-ton Targeting Computer comes
standard and both the Sarmatia A and B are outfitted with a dozen
double-strength heat sinks; allowing for the constant use of all weapons. 
These two are typically deployed as components of a single point, with one
Sarmatia A and one Sarmatia B.   Few Scorpion aerospace Stars have more than
one point of these EW craft.
 
The Sarmatia C is designed for dog-fighting, with two ER Medium Lasers in the
nose and eight ER Small Lasers (three each in the right and left wings and two
in the tail covering the rear).   A two-ton Targeting Computer is fitted to
the design, along with eleven double-strength heat sinks . . . which is
suffiicent to dissipate the entire heat generation of the eight forward
mounted lasers.
 
The last model is the Sarmatia D, which was originally designed to be shared
with the Cloud Cobras in exchange for their assistance in designing the new
Scorpion OmniFighter . . .. but the cost in resources of the Sarmatia and the
lack of CASE made those Khans rethink the acquisition.   The Sarmatia D is the
only variant which carries an internal missile launcher and explosive
ordnance, a factor which the Cobras insisted upon before they rejected the
design.   This version has a massed battery of four ER Medium Lasers in the
nose and a Streak SRM-6 launcher with 15 missile salvoes mounted in the tail
to cover the stern.   A one-ton Targeting Computer comes standard and the
design carries only the standard ten double-strength heat sinks.   Although
the Scorpion pilots generally consider the missile system relative
dead-weight, the heavy stern firepower has endeared this model to a few less
conservative Warriors.
 
One addition configuration has recently appeared in the Scorpion touman:  the
Sarmatia E.  This version carries three Medium Pulse Lasers (nose, right wing,
and left wing) and two aft-firing ER Small Lasers, plus a two-ton targeting
computer.  Exceptionally accurate, the Sarmatia E excels at high-speed
hit-and-run passes.

Deployment
Every Scorpion Cluster is assigned four Sarmatia class OmniFighters . . . and
an additional forty-eight are embarked among the WarShips of the Scorpion
Fleet (post-Abjuration), giving the Scorpions-in-Exile one hundred and
thirty-two of these highly effective light OmniFighters.   Less a dozen
Sarmatias were taken as isorla during the Abjuration, leaving the vast
majority of the survivors in the hands of the Scorpions.   Since the Cloud
Cobras do have schematics for the design, the post War of Reaving Homeworld
Clans might put the design into production . . . but this remains mere
speculation at this time.

Next we have the medium-weight Parthia, the most numerous OmniFighter in Scorpion service.

Overview
Debuting in 3058, the Parthia is a solid, rugged, hard-hitting, fast strike fighter which has become the standard medium-weight OmniFighter of Clan Goliath Scorpion.  Production rights for this design were won by Clan Snow Raven in 3060 and Clan Hell's Horses in 3061; both Clans produce this fighter in the Homeworlds today.

Capabilities
Massing 70-tons, the Parthia uses a 350-rate extra-light fusion engine that provides for an acceleration profile of 3.5-g's safe thrust and 5.5-g's of emergency overthrust.  Up to twelve tons of ordnance can be carried in a single massive bay underneath the sleek hull of this OmniFighter, albeit at reduced performance (2-g's safe/3-g's emergency with a ful load).  As with the Sarmatia, protection for the pilot was considered paramount in this design; fifteen tons of ferro-aluminum armor plating provides immunity versus thresholding by IS Large Lasers on the nose and wings and Clan ER Medium or Medium Pulse Lasers on the tail.  Twenty-one tons of pod space are available for weapons configurations, with no fixed equipment or heat sinks.

The Parthia Prime carries a nose-mounted ER PPC, supported by seven ER Medium Lasers (2 nose, 2 right wing, 2 left wing, and 1 aft), and two ER Small Lasers (nose), all tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer.  Twenty-one Double-strength heat sinks all the Pilot to fire the nose weapons and one wing without overheating, or to fire all nose and wing lasers (w/o the ER PPC) and remain heat neutral.

The Parthia A is outfitted with two ER Large Lasers (nose), six ER Medium Lasers (2 right wing, 2 left wing, and 2 aft), and and two ER Small Lasers (nose).  Twenty-four double-strength heat sinks allow for the constant use of all forward weapons, which are tied into a three-ton Targeting Computer.

Configurations B and C are almost identical, differing only in that the A version carries an Active Probe in the nose, whereas the B carries an ECM Suite.  The Scorpions normally field the Parthia B/C as pairs of a point, to provide EW support to their Star.  Weaponry consists of a Large Pulse Laser (nose) and seven Medium Pulse Lasers (2 nose, 2 right wing, 2 left wing, and 1 aft).  Seventeen double-strength heat sinks allow for the constant use of all forward guns, which are tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer.

The Parthia D is a pure in-fighter, fitted with fourteen ER Medium Lasers (4 nose, 3 right wing, 3 left wing, and 4 aft).  Twenty-five double-heat sinks alow for the constant use of all ten forward lasers.  A three-ton Targeting Computer also comes standard.  This version forgoes any long-range capabilities for an absolutely brutal close and medium range bite.

The final version is the Pathia E.  The main gun is an Ultra AC-20 in the nose with 20 shots, backed up by four ER Medium Lasers (2 right wing, 2 left wing) and two ER Small Lasers (tail).  Seventeen double-strength heat sinks allow for all forward weapons (including the UAC-20 on double-tap) to fire without generating excess overheat.  All seven guns are tied into a four-ton Targeting Computer.  The lack of CASE on the airframe makes this version rather unpopular; however, the potential tandem impact of two Class 20 bursts ensures that some pilot is always willing to risk the impending ejection.

Deployment
Scorpion OmniFighter deployment is fairly rigid, with a dozen Parthia assigned to every line Cluster.  This OmniFighter is also common the Scorpion Fleet, with Destroyers and Frigates carrying six, cruisers and transports ten, and the battleship Lei Kung having twenty-six aboard.

Except for the Ravens and Horses, this design is not often seen among other Clans.  Few Parthia survived the inferno of the Abjuration Trial fought on Roche . . . and the Scorpions left none of their factories intact for the victors to claim as their own.

As a history buff, I like the way you name things.  I was under the impression that targeting computers and pulse lasers no longer stacked bonuses.  Unless of course it still does in your universe.

As a history buff, I like the way you name things.  I was under the impression that targeting computers and pulse lasers no longer stacked bonuses.  Unless of course it still does in your universe.

I was under the impression that they DID stack, but not for called shots.  Which you cannot do in Aerospace combat anyway.  The Batu Prime and Batu B combine pulse lasers and a targeting computer.  As does the Scytha B.

Old age, memory is.............what was I going to say?  :D

[master arminas]

And last (but far from least), we have the Hun, the Sledgehammer of Clan Goliath Scorpion.

Overview
From her maiden flight in the winter of 3059, the Hun OmniFighter took the Clans by storm.  This new heavy-weight design (rivaling the ancient Kirghiz in size and exceding it in armor protection) was deeply desired by Clan Smoke Jaguar.  ilKhan Lincoln Osis himself called for a Trial of Possession, which the Scorpion anwered with the first three points of Hun to leave the assembly factory.  Taken aback that the Scorpions had chosen only six OmniFighters to defend their claim, Osis committed an entire Star of Sabutai OmniFighters in reply.  The battle was furious and left but one survivor . . . a badly damaged Scorpion Hun.

In a rage over the loss, it is all but certain that Osis would have retaliated against the Scorpions, but then news of Operation Bulldog arrived, with the invasion of Huntress close behind.  The Annihilation of the Jaguar did not prevent the other Clans from trialing for the Hun, however, but only the Ghost Bears and Cloud Cobras had won production rights before the Scorpion Abjuration.

Capabilities
Massing 100-tons, the Hun is quite possibly the toughest, most well armored OmniFighter in existence, with only the second-line Hydaspes ASF having greaer protection.  Power is provided by a 300-rate extra-light fusion engine, providing the Hun with a safe acceleration of 2.5-g's and a maximum thrust of 4-g's.  Slow, but well within the boundaries of what the Clan was wanting in newest heavy aerospace asset.  Eight tons of fuel are carried, providing the Hun with an endurance advantage over other fighters using standard 4- or 5-ton tanks.

Nineteen and one-half tons of ferro-aluminum armor plating makes the Hun threshold proof against Clan ER Large and Large Pulse Lasers (as well as Class 10 Autocannon bursts and IS PPCs), while the tail carries enough armor to prevent critical penetration by an IS Large Laser.  Up to twenty tons of ordnance can be carried in a single massive bay set in the fuselage of the fighter, but doing so will reduce thrust to 0.5-g's safe and a mere 1-g maximum overthrust.  The Scorpions rarely use this capability since the fighter itself is so well armed.  With only ten double-strength heat sinks fitted to the frame as fixed equipment, the Hun has a massive SIXTY tons of pod-space available for weapon systems.

The Hun Prime is renowned as DropShip and WarShip buster par-excellence.  Primary weapons consists of four nose-mounted ER PPCs, supported by eight ER Medium Lasers (three right wing, three left wing, and two aft).  An ECM Suite is carried in the nose, along with a seven-ton Targeting Computer.  Twenty additional DHS (for a total of 30) provides enough cooling to fire all four ER PPCs, or two ER PPCs and all six wing lasers.

Configuration A is armed with an LB-20X autocannon in the nose (20 bursts of fire), two Large Pulse Lasers in the nose, an ECM Suite in the nose, and six Medium Pulse Lasers (2 right wing, 2 left wing, and 2 aft).  This version carries an eight-ton Targeting Computer, and is equipped with a total of 21 double-strength heat sinks:  enough to fire all forward weaponry without generating any overheat.

The Hun B carries four ER Large Lasers in the nose, an ECM Suite in the nose, and nine ER Medium Lasers (3 right wing, 3 left wing, 3 aft), all tied into a five-ton Targeting Compute.  Thirty-nine DHS are carried, making this heat hog actually manage to run cool.

Configuration C has even more heat sinks, with forty doubles carried.  This allows for the full constant use of the two nose mounted ER PPCs and the ten forward-firing ER Medium Lasers (two nose, four right wing, four left wing).  An ECM Suite is also carried in the nose and two more ER Medium Lasers protect the fighter's rear.  The Hun C is equipped with a five-ton targeting computer.

The final version is the Hun D.  Fur Large Pulse Lasers in the nose are the main weapons, supported by four Medium Pulse Lasers (2 right wing, 2 left wing), and two ER Medium Lasers in the tail to discourage enemy fighters from getting too close.  As with the remaining Huns, the D Config carries a nose mounted ECM Suite and is outfitted with a seven-ton Targeting Computer.  Twenty-eight double-strength heat sinks allow the pilot to fire away with the pulse battery without concern for excess heat production.

Deployment
Every Scorpion Line Cluster, Cruiser, and Transport has six Huns assigned as part of their forces.  The Battleship Lei Kung has a full dozen.  Typically reserved for where the fighting is most intense, the Huns are the Sledgehammer which breaks apart enemy forces for the rest of the touman to exploit. The one hundred and eight Huns left behind in the Defense of Roche sold themselves dearly, exacting hideous losses from the Vipers, Hellions, Mandrills, and Spirits before being shot down.  None survived to be recovered by the Clans in their pyhrric victory that day.

Both the Bears and Ravens have increased production of the Hun after seeing just how effective the new design proved in actual combat.  With the destruction of the Scorpion factories, these two Clans are the only known source of this fight (until the Scorpions-in-Exile) can once again resume production on their new worlds).

Not to nit-pick, but does your AU clan have a BA ASF carrier config?

Not an official one.  I have always seen that as a role more for shuttles and small craft . . . speaking of which, I will be posting in a few moments the Scorpion's standard small craft.

And here is the Zama class shuttle (small craft).

Overview
The Zama is the standard Clan Goliath Scorpion small craft found aboard WarShips, JumpShips, and Stations.  Built to military standards, this vessel is armed and armored, as well as capable of acheiving a higher than expected thrust . . . despite that it retains the abiliy to haul an impressive amount of cargo from orbit to the surface of a planet, and is capable of rough field landings.  This design is representative of the many Clan small craft used by both the civilian and military castes.

Capabilities
Massing 200-tons, the spherical Zama is an impressive design.  Safe thrust is a quite capable 2.5-g's, with 4-g's available at maximum power.   Fifteen tons of ferro-aluminum armor plating gives this craft protection even greater than that afforded the Hun OmniFighter.  Armament is quite light, and is intended for self-defense only:  six ER Medium Lasers (2 nose, 1 forward right, 1 forward left, 2 aft) tied into a two-ton Targeting Computer.  Only ten double-strength heat sinks are carried, but this enough for the forward weapons to engage a target without generating excess overheat.  Crew consists of four personnel (a pilot, co-pilot, engineer, and gunner, who is typically also the commander) who have very austere quarters.  Strictly a short-range vessel, the ten tons devoted to fuel storage do not premit interplanetary voyages in this craft.  However, that austere nature allows for the storage of no less than 80 tons of cargo in a spacious central hold surrounded by the five semi-external engine pods.

The Zama is often used to deploy a Star of Clan Elemental Infantry in high-altitude para-drops; the Elementals and their gear taking up 50 tons of cargo space.  Custom designed deployment booms ensure that the Elementals are deployed outside of the danger zone of the shuttle's fusion drive.  Such actions are the closest that most Zama crews will ever come to combat, other than landing supplies in a hot war-zone.

Deployment
Zamas are found in both the civilian and military castes (although civilian Zamas remove the weapons and gunner for additional cargo space) where they serve Clan Goliath Scorpion as the standard surface-to-orbit shuttlecraft.  Civilian models specialize in moving vital cargo into hard to reach enclaves where fixed wing aircraft cannot land.  Although not glamorous vessels, these shuttles are necessary to keep Scorpion commerce flowing.
