Mars Rising: Marian Hegemony IV

[Sharpnel]

Time for a new thread as the last has hit 50.

jimdigris  Dixit: It's not clear to me that the Hegemony has that much to offer to Niops in terms of technical support.  Bear in mind that their military factories produce a great deal of retrotech, and they were the national priority. Dixit



The information about Retrotech is old in almost 70 years, in 3145 the Marian Hegemony manufactures a tank as the Testudo with Ferro Light Fiber / case, UCA / 10 Arrow IV launcher does not seem at all Retrotech apart from that says in the ER 3145 and the Field Manual 3145 have been built many new therefore the ATC as other factories factories, quietly at least advice Battlearmor it could be given we have two factories so I assure you that the Marian Hegemony know like building factories Battle Armor, Tanks and Mechs

Sure, but does Niops need ferrofibrous armor, CASE, Arrow IV, etc, or do they need lost civilian systems that the Hegemony never had and doesn't really care enough to develop?  The Hegemony could have clantech, that wouldn't do the Niopsians any good if what they need is help with the power grid, sanitation systems, IT, and a thousand other civilian technologies.

Really Nyops in the state that apparently this perpetual internal convulsion may need everything from food to ore or almost anything

And we don't even know if the Hegemony is making those components or purchasing them, like they were with their AC/10s and LB-10Xs.

Arrow IV Launcher if you do, and the UCA / 0 takes Romanico name, in terms of Ferro Fibrous / Case if you have enough in the tank to manufacture for export MHAF number and tell you that there must be local production

Unlikely, give that the primary source of funding for the Niopian government right now is asteroid mining done in conjunction with Interstellar Expeditions, with an emphasis on germanium.  They've also rebuilt a domestic military academy, and have been buying military hardware from their neighbors, reportedly including, but not exclusively, the Marian Hegemony. The latest updates make it sound like they haven't rebuilt the workshops in no small part due to internal squabbling, which fits with the reported arguments about which world would host the academy.

The Blakists shoulda nuked two of the three planets and forced everyone into the last inhabitable one.

Ave omnes!

Everyone in NIOPS would just move to IX then.

Along with the new machines there.  O:-)

What are stereotypical Marian weapon systems beyond Rocket Launchers?

Thanks

[Saint]

That's about it, after that it's whatever they can get their hands on.

[Arkansas Warrior]

At BA scale, you might say HRRs.  The Ravager was one of the first major uses of that system, IIRC.  Actually, could we say "particularly impressive infantry forces"?  From the Ravager to the Royal Guard infantry, the Marians have some damned impressive footsloggers, especially for a Periphery realm.

And the Marauder BA. :)

Imperator Automatic Weaponry is located on Atreus.

Most of the component are common in their neighbours. Communications systems, LNGs and TCs, that's been seen in the MAF, and the various FWL factions.

The Arrow and the Armor are the only ones that are definitely local. Makes sense, since you'd want a steady supply of armor and ammo.

[Giovanni Blasini]

and Naval Rocket Launchers

The what?

[Adacas]

This in the supplement appearing naval ships as space development or use there are pods of rocket launchers

Communications systems you say are using it in vehicles and mechs of long MHAF not discard that have purchased the designs and permits to build in factories Marian Hegemony
May be the same case with respect to the UCA / 10 numbers used in the production of Testudos would not be something too strange to see, but if part of the production of Testudos ends in Oriente.

Wait, which book?

Strategic Operations pag 16  Rocket Launcher Hardpoints (3064) Usable by fighters, and Dropships

If IIRC the stats of the RGI are rather inflated, since each unit is a 100 soldiers. It would only be fair to compare to 3-4 regular platoons.

My copy doesn't mention DropShips, but yeah, that's different than what I was thinking when you said naval, which was capital grade on WarShips or Pocket WarShips.

Not only is usable in naval combat dropships or Aero Fighters  as an adjunct to regular weapons, say like a punch damage over short distances

On the Aerospace map? Make that very short distances.

Periphery boys and their toys...

Really I did not give much interest to the aerospace part so not really as it is a short distance with hardpoints Rocket Launchers

Most of the stats in the TRO are already broken up into 4 25-man units.

Jellico, I would say the Marians favor Autocannons as we see many of the units they build-

Gladius, as mentioned it has a AC/10 even if it has to be imported
Gladius II, weaker IMO but it has a LAC/5, MGs and RL15s
Testudo, UAC/10, A4 and LMGs
Centurion 9-H, LB-10X, ML, and 4 RL10s
The BA was covered . . .

Now, do they import those autocannons?  They used to when the Gladius was built, but we have no idea if they do any longer- heck we do not even know if they still build that Cent as a mix Prim/Modern or a all modern version.  Almost as interesting for the advanced ACs is do they build their own ammo for all the options.

We do know they had purchasing agents wandering the Inner Sphere to buy discarded, old or damaged weapons and equipment that they would refurbish.
