BattleTech Vehicle Technical Readout
VALIDATED

Type/Model: Peregrine Attack VTOL MK II
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3025
Config: V.T.O.L.
Rules: Level 2, Standard design

Mass: 30 tons
Power Plant: 220 DAV Fusion
Cruise Speed: 129.6 km/h
Maximum Speed: 194.4 km/h
Armor Type: Protech Medium Standard
Armament:
1 Large Laser
Manufacturer: Blackwell Corporation
Location: Outreach
Communications System: Dalban StarLink II
Targeting & Tracking System: Garret E2b

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Desperate to eliminate the bad press generated by the initial versions of
the Peregrine, Blackwell made the decision to radically alter the vehicle in
order to salvage it.

The first thing to get altered was the tail rotor. Instead of an internal
flywheel mechanism, the unit now has a more traditional tail rotor assembly.
Some unexpectedly good side effects came out of this, as now the interior is
not so nearly as cramped. Because of this, the unit is now far easier to
maintain. To furthur improve ease of maintenance, the engine compartment and
rotor housing were also redesigned.

In addition, the designers decided to alter the weapons load-out and armor.
Instead of the SRM racks and machine gun, the unit now boasts a large laser
and two additional tons of armor. While still under-armored and somewhat
undergunned, the unit now has better punch at range and better surviveability.

Interresting design with major changes in armament and airframe it is not realy a Perigrine any more,you may want to upgrade the armour from standard to FF the increase in cost is minimal but the extra 5 points off protection would help a lot adding one point each to the front and side and two points to the rear ,means the front could take a guass or clan PPC hit sides ,IS ppc or clan L Laser,rear IS L laser.

He is a little upgrade of the Perigrine this is a rebuild by a team of Top grade techs using semi-skilled help and limited equipment the fluff will explain:
      BattleTech Vehicle Technical Readout
                      VALIDATED

Type/Model:    Peregrine refit OLA/Franklin Republic 
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3060
Config:        V.T.O.L.
Rules:         Level 2, Standard design

Mass:          30 tons
Power Plant:   220 DAV Fusion
Cruise Speed:  129.6 km/h
Maximum Speed: 194.4 km/h
Armor Type:    Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:      
  2 Machine Guns
  2 SRM 4s
Manufacturer:  (Unknown)
  Location:    (Unknown)
Communications System:  (Unknown)
Targeting & Tracking System:  (Unknown)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
In 3068 the military of the flegling Franklin Republic started looking for
equipment in addition to the OLA they started to seek equipment from other
sorces when a salesman from a used arms dealer came along with a deal on about
three dozen Perigrens not knowing any better they jumped all over it at
275,000 C-Bills a pop it sounded good to the Franklinites who did not know any
better .When they proudlt showed off their prizes to the OLA liason officer he
allmost went into anaphalactic shock knowing all to well about the flying
deathtrap know as the Perigrine.But the deed was done and the only thing to do
was to try to do the best fix they could.They contacted Paul Hatton of Hattons
custom rebuilders to see what could be done .Since the cost of transporting
the choppers to the OLA and back would be prohibitive ,Hatton assembled a team
of techs and proceeded to the Franklin Repuiblic to see what could be done.
When Paul arrived the first thing he did was check to see what facilitys he
had to work with Franklin Heavy Industrys was heavy in name only .Fabrication
equipment was limited and the work force had little more than basic skills.but
that was what he had to work with.Next he inspected the choppers fourtionatly
they were in good condition the salesman was an oppritunist but had been
straight about the condition.The first thing that was done was all of the
armour was peeled off new access doors wre added at that time easing
maintenance the MG ammo baay was cut in half feeling 50round per gun was
plenty and freeing half a ton .finally one ton of ferro-fiborous armour was
used to cover the machine increasing protection by 120% still thin but a whole
lot better than what it was.

==Capabilities:==
The armour is still thin but now can at least stand up to infantry weapons.The
weapon loadout is good against infantry loading infernos make it a deadly
infantry hunter and a threat to vehicles .Tha lack of armour and short range
weapon load out make it suicidal to take this up against mechs

==Variants:==
A number have had the SRM 4s replaced by LRM 5s and are attached to the
Airmobile Brigade

==Deployment==
This is used Exclusivly by the Franklin Republic and is distributed amoung
Infantry formations as fire support as well as with the fledgling Airmobile
Brigade.
