==Overview:==

The heavier version of the Battler came about at the height of the Revolt of

the Warlords in the Galatic Union.



There was need for light mech that could pack a punch and still get away fast

enough to come back and do it again.



Dormac Industries, one of the largest suppliers of weapons to Van Hount

faction, and maker of Battler ultra light general purpose mech came up with

Heavy version by adding 5 tons of weaponary to the original design and making

some other modifcation on the general frame.



The end results were amazing and gave more punch and usage to the mech and

more money into the coffers of Dormac Industries.



==Capabilities:==

The speed of the Heavy General Purpose Mech is gained by using an extra light

engine, to many this seemed to be a waste and time bomb waiting to blow up

given that one of the main weapons on the HGMP Battler was a short range

missile two pack.



But actual combat trials and countless pitched battles seemed to lay this fear

to rest for the most part. Of the 3000 HGMP version of the Battler built only

45 every went nova do to an ammo hit and chain reaction from that hit.



The mech backs the SRM2 up with an extended range large laser. The only big

draw back to this mechs is that it is a heat hog.



Some have suggested adding in the venrable double heat sink techonolgy but

that has not happen since Dormac sited cost issues with the use of the extra

light engine.



Overall the mech gives good service and is still found in action on several of

the border worlds in the Landorf Protector and Zokar Hegemony.
