Overview:
After Outersphere League spys stole the specifications for the Medium Range Missile system, The Outersphere League government quickly set about creating a VTOL design to make use of the deadly missile system. After about a year of development the DCM-1A Decimator was created.
Capabilities:
The DCM-1A Decimator carries the perfect balance of speed firepower and armor protection that a VTOL needs to be successful in battle. Firepower wise the DCM-1A is deadly wielding a massive MRM forty missile system. The MRM 40 Missile system possesses the abillity to cripple, if not destroy, most mechs in only a few lucky shots. Armor wise the DCM-1A has superb armor protection for a VTOL. The DCM-1A has enough mobillity to get within range quickly and bring its MRM 40 to bear. Should the DCM-1A run out of MRM ammunition, it has front mounted extended ranged medium lasers to bring into the fight, although all DCM-1A Decimator pilots are trained to withdraw from combat to reload once the MRM ammo is spent.
Battle History:
5 lances of DCM-1As recently saw action in a retaliatory strike against the Taurian world of Argos. Pirates had been attacking the Outersphere League from Argos and the OLM was determined to humble them. After a OLM dropship landed outside the main pirate encampment on Argos, the 5 lances of OLM DCM-1As attacked. Swooping in to give the pirates a taste of revenge was the 102nd OLM Striker unit, whos Decimator VTOLs quickly unleashed MRM hell on the pirates. After a few passes the DCM-1As withdrew back to the freindly OLM Dropship and evacuated offworld leaving the burning remains of the pirate base behind them.
Variants:
The DCM-2A carries SRMs instead of MRMs but is just as deadly as, if not more deadly than the DCM-1A.
Notable Vehicles & Crews:
Commander Jane Neils was the Commander who led the strike on the pirate encampment on Argos. Commander Jane Neils attack was executed with ruthless effeciency as the 102nd OLM Striker units DCM-1A Decimators were in and out before the pirates could even muster a effective response. Commander Jane Neils was quoted as saying after the battle, "I like my battles the same as I like my men in bed, hard and fast, in and out."
Deployment
Decimators are deployed throughout Outersphere League space in OLM Striker units.
