Hi Everyone!

I did not focus on Combat Vehicles (CVs) for my Golden Century Campaign, but indeed CVs should be a characterful part of the setting for my campaign. I wrote these, then sat on them for a few months. I would like to present them now.

Considering the customization rules available in Strategic Operations, p. 188, I upgraded Star League-era CVs with Clan equipment upgrades available in Historical: Operation KLONDIKE, p. 156, as well as the Early Clan Equipment from Interstellar Operations, pp. 95-98, 195, and 216-219. All upgrades Class A-D.

As with the upgraded Clan BattleMechs I presented, these upgrades will go extinct as intermediate Clan technology is slowly removed from production in favor of  Clan-spec. After intermediate Clan technology has disappeared, Combat Vehicles will adhere to Star League-era technology or Clan standard production.

Please keep in mind the limited roles CVs played in the early Clan Touman. In most Clans, CVs are last-chance opportunities for many Warriors, either washed out from age, or not sufficiently capable to win a position as a MechWarrior, AeroSpace Pilot, etc. CV crews are tasked primarily with defensive responsibilities, for instance Clan Star Adder's Kokou Defense Tanks (TRO:GC). Vehicles are also the preferred transports for infantry on the battlefields of the Kerensky Cluster, at least before the advent of the Nova (and yes, with its expanding Warrior population, washouts are often given an opportunity to enlist in "civilian" security details or as infantry - which in most Clans is synonymous with "cannon fodder"). A few Clans, for instance the Hell's Horses, use vehicles for roles beyond simple garrison or transport. Vehicles used as combat surveillance or ECM interdiction may exist, but are almost always bid away.

Please note, as these vehicles begin appearing around the time of Operation: KLONDIKE, we are using the (apparent, please correct me if this is wrong) organization of:

Star of Mech - 5 Mechs
Star of ASF - 5 ASF
Star of Combat Vehicles - 10 Combat Vehicles, 5 point commanders
Star of special operations infantry - 25 soldiers, 5 point commanders
Star of infantry - 125 soldiers, 5 point commanders

With that in mind, let us look at some of the options available for early Clan upgrades.

Fury Command Tank (2828)

Intended as a defensive sniper in solahma units, Clan Burrock used its new Clan-spec Gauss Rifle to free sufficient space to expand the Fury's infantry transport bay to carry 2 Points of infantry. The Fury could then be used to deploy infantry at the beginning of the engagement. Once deployed, the Fury is free to find position from which it can act as a sniper and direct the other combat vehicles in its Star. However, the Fury's still mounts the same 320-rated Pitban fusion engine, making it difficult to redeploy once the Trial commences. This is a Class D refit.

GAL-100C Galleon (2810)

The first Combat Vehicle upgraded by Nicholas Kerensky's Clans, the Galleon removes its Medium Laser, adding additional Machine Guns and expanding its infantry compartments to be able to ferry 2 Points of infantry. Used logistically, a KLONDIKE-era Star of upgraded Galleons could taxi the entire Warrior Caste of a BattleMech-heavy Clan (for instance, Clan Coyote), its "auxiliaries", and most of the Clan's support personnel. After the successful completion of KLONDIKE, the upgraded Galleon still had great utility for the Clans, with its powerful anti-personnel weaponry and its ability to comfortably redeploy infantry under fire. This is a Class D refit.

J. Edgar Hover Tank (2821)

Two months before commencing Operation: KLONDIKE, the Clans received their first delivery of upgraded J. Edgar Hover Tanks mounting Clan Improved SRMs. The upgrade increased the range of the SRMs by 90 meters. Formally, no Khan sanctioned the deployment of the J. Edgar among the Clans, citing weak armor and poor firepower. The reconnaissance capabilities of the Hover Tank could be replaced by Combat VTOLs or fast scout BattleMechs, and the vain potential loss of one of the Clan's forty Warriors in an inferior Hover Tank was a powerful deterrent.

After the cessation of hostilities, though, many Clans had an influx of Pentagon combatants taken as Bondsmen, and needed a fast scout for their garrisons. In this way, the Clan Improved J. Edgar was added to Clan Toumans, where it performed modestly for part of the next decade.

The upgrade is a Class A refit.

Lightning Attack Hovercraft (2821)

Months after the beginning of the Pentagon Campaign, Clan Toumans began receiving shipments of upgraded Star League Lightning Attack Hovercraft. Though only modestly armored, the Lightning was just as fast as the shunned J. Edgar Hover Tank and mounted twice the firepower. The mass saved by replacing Star League-era Raker-IV Medium Pulse Lasers with prototype ER Medium Lasers allowed for the hull to be retrofitted with an ammo bin for the Lightning's paired SRM4 launchers, which were improved Clan models with longer range.

Though many Clans did not utilize the Lightning during the remainder of the campaign, some (notably Clan Hell's Horses) began deploying the Lightning for the later months of their operations on Eden.

The upgraded Lightning is a Class D refit.

Marksman Artillery Vehicle (2820)

In preparation for Operation: KLONDIKE, the Clans produced a conservative upgrade of the Star League Marksman Artillery Vehicle. The upgraded Marksman simply swapped the RAMTech 500 Large Laser for a Clan Improved Large Laser, and used the mass savings to increase armor protection to the turret, flanks, and rear. Every Clan utilizing artillery in the Pentagon Campaign possessed Marksmen vehicles. After the cessation of hostilities, the Marksman mostly fell out of favor with Clan Warriors reluctant to fight with artillery. Indeed, even when available for the Trial, Marksmen and Thors were frequently bid away, and rarely participated in combat after KLONDIKE.

This is a Class D refit.

Maultier (2822)

The Clan upgraded Maultier 15-ton APC was introduced shortly after the end of hostilities in the Pentagon Worlds. By upgrading the SRMs to Clan Star Adder's newly improved Clan-spec Streak SRM-2, and reducing the size of the infantry bay to accommodate a single Point of infantry, the Maultier saved sufficient mass to improve armor to the sides and rear of the vehicle. Cheap and quick, Maultiers were preferred infantry transports for many years after Operation: KLONDIKE, and dismounting a Maultier even at cruising speed became a good way for infantry to be noticed by their superiors (or seriously injured). This is a Class D refit.

Maxim Hover Transport (2822)

Following Operation: KLONDIKE, the swelling size of Clan Cloud Cobra's reserve, especially non-Warrior infantry and security forces, prompted Khan Kardaan to solicit his Scientists for larger options for unit deployment. While not an ideal option for direct combat, the Maxim Hover Transport received a modest upgrade. The upgrade replaces LRMs and SRMs for Clan Improved counterparts. This changes improved the SRM range by 90 meters and freed sufficient mass to expand the infantry compartment to accommodate 2 Points of infantry. However, expansion of the infantry compartment is not an easy fix, and could not be accomplished in the field. This is a Class D refit.

Many (but not all) of Clan Cloud Cobra's upgrade Maxim Hover Transports would be mothballed after the Annihilation of the Not-Named Clan. As some abtakha Warriors of Clan Cloud Cobra began to rebel, rather than fully embrace the Way of the Clans, Khan Kardaan began secretly trying and executing most of the Clan's MechWarriors, Infantry, and Combat Vehicle crews. Never a large Clan, the Cloud Cobras still possess many of these mothballed Maxims, those that were not destroyed, captured, or traded in the last two centuries.

A later Clan retrofit of the Maxim would appear in 3059 from salvage and seized production (after Operation: REVIVAL). Any similarities to the 29th Century Maxim upgrade are due to similar role; the designers of this new retrofit appear unaware of the original models still sitting in Brian Caches on Babylon.

PDT-005C Puma Defense Tank (2823)

In preparation for hostilities with their fellow Clans, Clan Wolverine began upgrading their units with their new Enhanced PPCs. The Star League-era Puma, while primarily a defensive unit, upgraded with an NPPC and Clan Improved Missile Systems, was an ideal defense tank, capable of denying sections of the battlefield and requiring the careful attention of an attacker. The mass saved by replacing the LRMs with Clan Improved LRMs was used to triple the number of SRM tubes and double the SRM ammunition, allowing the Puma to still be a capable Assault unit if given the opportunity. This is a Class D refit.

Ripper Harasser and Transport VTOLs (2820)

Clan Hell's Horses prepared a variety of Combat Vehicles for their role in Operation: KLONDIKE. One of the mission profiles the Horses foresaw was reconnaissance and harassment, and looked to the quick Ripper VTOL. By removing the infantry compartment entirely, the Horses freed enough room to upgrade the Ripper's Omicron 950 Medium Lasers with Prototype Clan Extended Range Medium Lasers. The removal of the infantry compartment and redistributing the mass to the lasers could be done in the field, a Class A refit.

While 20% of their Rippers were upgraded in this fashion, the Horses also required a way to redeploy their infantry quickly and under fire. The Horses upgraded their remaining Rippers by removing the Omicron lasers and replacing them with a single Clan Prototype ER Small Laser. The mass saved by removing the lasers was used to expand the infantry compartment to be able to transport a full Point of infantry. The expansion of the infantry compartment required a repair bay, and is a Class C refit.

In action, a Star of Rippers Transports would be able to deploy 5 Points of infantry, with a mixed Combat Vehicle Star including Ripper Harassers used to cover for the landing.

Thor Artillery Vehicle (2822)

After the successful completion of Operation: KLONDIKE, the transition from a war-footing to detente (or cold war) between the Clans meant there was more access to newer Clan technologies, and more development of their improved systems. With eased access to Clan Improved ER Lasers, some Clans decided to increase the range of the Thor's secondary Magna LT Medium Lasers. However, with the reduced emphasis on artillery in the Clan Trial system, these upgraded Thors were mostly relegated to defensive duties. While this meant the Thor was a low priority for upgrade, the upgraded Clan Improved lasers on Thors had a longer service window than those on many other BattleMechs or Combat Vehicles. This is a Class A refit.

Turhan (2825)

Another Clan eager to deploy infantry on their battlefields, Clan Sea Fox also desired a strong infantry support vehicle, one capable of clearing the battlefield of enemy infantry and transporting 2 Points of their own. The Hegemony Turhan was initially used for this role, but as Clan Improved lasers became more plentiful, and Clan Sea Fox reduced the mass of machine guns by half, the Sea Foxes upgraded their Turhans. The mass saved from replacing the lasers allowed the Foxes to nearly quadruple the number of machine guns and double the ammunition. The biggest problem with the Turhan was its modest speed, and it became a priority target for Clans deploying (and also supporting) their own infantry. As such, the Clan upgraded Turhan had little resilience on the Clan battlefield, and soon the Sea Foxes had to look for new production and other options for their infantry transport. This is a Class D refit.

Von Luckner Heavy Tank (2820)

One of the few Main Battle Tanks produced by the early Clans, Clan Hell's Horses upgraded the Star League Von Luckner by installing a Clan Improved Autocannon/20 and upgrading the LRM-15 to a Clan Improved LRM-20. The mass saving allowed for increased ammunition, and upgrades for the Streak SRM-2s to Clan Prototype Streak SRM-6, but these were moved to the front from space constraints. This is a Class D refit.

However, the Von Luckner was not done. In 2822, the introduction of Clan-spec Streak SRM-2s allowed engineers to reinstall the small Streak systems, allowing for the installation of machine gun point defense and a pair of Clan Prototype ER Medium Lasers. In the aftermath of Operation: KLONDIKE, both Clans Hell's Horses and Steel Viper looked to this upgrade, the former as a Main Battle Tank, the latter as a defensive unit.

Ku Infantry Fighting Vehicle, "Turhan IIC" (2843)

After nearly two decades of attrition in their Turhan IFVs, Clan Sea Fox saw both the need for a new IFV, and the impetus form ilKhan Winson. in 2842, the Sea Foxes commissioned the new Ku Assault Tank, but also introduced a variant within the next year to replace the Turhan. Called interchangeably the "Turhan IIC" or the Ku Infantry Fighting Vehicle, the new vehicle increases the flank speed of the Turhan by ~ 30 kph, moves the Turhan C's machine guns to the turret, and "downgrades" the Clan Improved Large Lasers to Clan-spec ER Medium Lasers, also mounted in the turret. The Turhan IIC also amounts an an Active Probe, and CASE to protect the crew from ammunition explosions. The Sea Foxes made the Ku/Turhan IIC IFV available for sale to other Clans, but few (with the exception of Clan Hell's Horses) paid much attention.
