"Fasolt" was a customised Demolisher in the service of a medium-sized Lyran militia that came to the attention of Trellshire Heavy Industries in 3009. Based on the original quad-tracked chassis, it adapted the sensors, radar guidance and weaponry from a Quickcell LRM carrier, the techs fabricating a whole new turret to mate the three Farfire LRM20 launchers to the turret ring. The four tons of ammunition gave it 'legs' as short as its mother, though it often carried its own reloads to the battlefield.
At the time of its discovery it had been a project of the militia for over ten years: the electronics spliced into the loom refused to play well with the original Demolisher's suite, creating ghost targets and false returns that sometimes caused mid-air collisions. The solution to that took advantage of the already long chassis and set each launcher in a toppled-monolith configuration, one behind the other in the turret, but offset at a 4-degree angle. The ghost targets remained, though.
Though the armour was lighter than its parent at eight tons, it still distinguished itself with its ability to shrug off hits that would have wrecked a normal carrier, with clever placement and the reduced need to stand and fight maximising its chances.
It is probably not a coincidence that, after buying the rights to the design, Trellshire would come out with its SturmFeur several years later.
