Overview:
The Marauder MAD-1H was the second 'Mech built by the Marian Hegemony.
Based on the experience gained by building the RetroTech Centurion
allowed the manufacturers to move up to a heavy 'Mech.
Capabilities:
Powered by a primitive engine, the MAD-1H is slower than most of its
contemporaries being lucky to reach 54km/h.
The weapons loadout is a blend of the MAD-3M and the MAD-4H Marauder II:
A large laser and medium laser are carried in the arm pods and six ten tube
rocket launchers are mounted on each side torso.
The Marauder 1H is protected by seventeen tons of primitive armor.
Twenty single heat sinks are adequate to handle most of the heat generated by
the 'Mech, but an alpha strike of all weapons will promptly force it into
shutdown. For this reason most pilots stagger the fire of their rocket
launchers while moving into laser range.
Deployment:
The primitive Marauder is mostly a means for the Hegemony to expand its
industrial base. With that in mind it's not surprising that most of these
'Mechs have been deployed near the Marian Arms and ATC factories on Alphard.
Their low top speed and limited weapons are not good for offensive operations,
but acting as a mobile reserve for defensive operations is well within their
abilities.
It is unlikely that the Hegemony will continue to produce these RetroTech
'Mechs for the legions once they can produce more advanced equipment. There
might be some sales of the 'Mech to other Periphery interests, but it's also
possible that the Hegemony will simply use them until they're destroyed in
combat or assign them to the Cohors Moritori.
Variants:
Another variant replaces the rocket launchers with a Medium Rifle and a ton of
ammunition.
