We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

A rare replacement for an already reasonably rare mech, I have recently gained a second lease on life.
There is a certain symbolism given my name and who my revived version was used against.
I am the main focus where I am made, there is another, but pay him no notice.
Strong and light, by build and design, by name a bringer of night, my weapons while low tech, are perfectly fine.

Starslayer

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner folks.

The Starslayer was intended as a replacement for the Crab (which was already rather rare) but never really made it due to the Amaris shenanigans. The Lyrans revived it in the later 3050's. As much as I'd like to claim credit for a reference to the rareness of the card in the trading card game, that was simply a bonus.

The Lyrans used them agains the Feds in the FCCW, rather appropriate since the starburst is the Davion crest.

The Starslayer and virtually all of it's (non weapon) components are made on Loxley. So is the Stealth, but none of it's bit are made there and the Pay it no mind is meant to be a play on words due to the Name.

Strong and Light by build and design references the EndoSteel and Ferro Fiberous structure and armour as well as it being a strong design in the lighter half of the weigh scale. Bringer of night is again a play on words for the name as if you Slayed a star, it would no longer output light, and the weapons are all 4th SW tech, with no fancy toys on the bae model, yet still provide an excellent package.

Well done to Demos, you are up Sir.

Okay, shouldn't be too hard  :)

Once reserved for a special unit; I'm now available to a wider range of units.

Albatross
Yeah, a short one...

First reserved for the Knights of the Inner Sphere, it became available for a wider range of Marik -and even foreign - units.
Monty, enjoy!
