==Overview:==
     Centuries ago, before the coming of the Star League, the Clans of Rockall
often found themselves at war with their neighbours. Some of these conflicts
were little more than skirmishes between a few dozen men, but other's were
full blown wars that claimed hundreds if not thousands of lives. Without the
advanced technology of the Inner Sphere, the Clans were reduced to improvising
massive war-machines that became known as Champions, which would form the
centrepiece of their battle lines and often carry troops into combat and storm
fortifications.
     The mainstay of Clan Kilwillie's order of battle was the Britannic Class.

==Capabilities:==
      One of the smallest vehicles ever classed as a Champion, the Britannic
class was intended to swarm across the battlefield, cutting down infantry with
heavy, sustained machine gun fire from its twin turrets. Unable to challenge
its larger counterparts, the Britannic relied on heavy armour and relatively
high ground speed keep it safe.

==Deployment==
     While not considered disposable, the Britannic was designed for ease of
production to replace those lost in battle. As such it was not built to the
same standards as many other Champions, and have faired badly down the years.
The last surviving complete example can be found in the entranceway of
Kilwillie Castle, while an intact but empty hull is displayed at the Derry
Museum of Planetary History.
