Purifier squads consist of four troopers, all
equipped with the same primary weapon. Purifier
battle armor sq uads carry one weapon system,
either an Inner Sphere ER sm al l laser, a light TAG or
a disposable, compact Narc launcher. The light TAG
operates exactly as the Clan system of the same
name. The compact Narc launcher operates exactly
as a standard Narc missile beacon (see NARC
Missile Beacon, p. 133, BMR) , except its range is
reduced to th at of an Inner Sphere ER small laser.
Additionally, the Narc launche r can only fire two mis-
sile salvos before running out of ammo. Unlike in
standard battle armor missile attacks, the control-
ling pl ayer can choose to fire Narc missiles with
some or all of the Purifiers in a unit, marking off the
ammunition expenditure on the record sheet fo r
each one fired. If the attack hits, roll on the Battle
Armor Attack Table to determine how many Narc
missi les have become attach ed to the target, using
the Poi nt Members Active column that matches the
number of Narc missiles fires by the Purifier unit.
Until both salvos are launched (and the launcher is
jettisoned) a unit equipped with the Narc launcher
may not make anti-BattleMech leg or swarm attacks
or use jumping movement; it moves as standard
foot infantry.
Each Pu rifie r battlesuit has an Armor Value of
6 poi nts, plus 1 additional point that represent s
the trooper inside.
The armor of the Purifier has a mimetic effect-
it changes color to match the terrain it is in-which
a Purifier unit more difficult to hit the slower it is mov-
ing. If a Purifier unit is targeted , the following modi-
fiers replace the standard target movement modi-
fiers: if the Purifier unit moved 3 hexes, it has a +0
target movement modifier; if the unit moved 2 hexes,
it has a +1 target movement modifier; if the unit
148
moved 1 hex, it has a +2 target movement modifier to be hit; if
the unit did not move any hexes, it has a +3 target movement
modifier. All other modifiers apply normally, including terrain and
the +1 Modifie r for battle armor dispersion. This mimetic feature
is always on and cannot be turned off.

CAPABILITIES
Though based on the King Crab, the Vanquisher bears only
a small resemblance to its predecessor, despite its legs and
hunched-over torso . This mammoth 'Mech utilizes long-range
weapons to bring down its foe, using targeting information gath-
ered from its faster companions to make a pinpoint assault.
The light Gauss rifles and ER large lasers are the Vanquisher's
main weapons, though its three ER medium lasers boast
impressive ranges as well , and can be quite dangerous in their
own right.
The Vanquisher is slow, but it boasts an incredible amount
of protection. Not only does it bear almost twenty tons of stan-
dard armor, it lacks a dangerous extra-light engine and is
equipped with CASE in both side torsos, to protect against light
Gauss rifle explosions . The new design meets its specifications
admirably, and is sure to be the basis on which any Militia C3i
network is built.
DEPLOYMENT
Initial production runs of the Vanquisher and C3i-refitted
' Mechs are being field-tested by the Sixth Division, True
Believers IV-Theta . Precentor Brandenburg-Curi, "the
Schoolmaster," is putting them through their paces in extreme-
ly difficult situations, and the designs are expected to be
released to the rest of the Militia soon .

DANTE·CLASS FRIGATE
ComStar's three Dante-class vessels were built in the short period between 2935 and 2949, products of the renovation of the
Star League-era shipyards at Titan and · increased militarism within the order. Though ComStar retained a number of ex-SLDF
WarShips in mothballs, most of these vessels demanded large crews that the order was unable to supply. Primus York sought the
creation of the heavily automated Dante -class as a stop-gap measure to support the nascent ComStar Guards and Militia while the
other vessels were refurbished and new crews trained.
The first Dante, the NarbonQe, ent7red service in 2941, followed by the Bordeaux in 2944 and the Montpellier in 2948. However,
the spiraling cost of renovating the remainder of the fleet, and the difficulty of hiding both the vessels and the large number of naval
personnel, lead to the program being frozen in 2949. As a proven design, the Precentor Martial had considered commissioning the
construction of further units in the class but the Blakist invasion of 3058 halted those plans.
Though massing less than some destroyers, the Dante's mix of speed, firepower and armor earned it the designation of frigate.
Its principal role is the command and escort of DropShip flotillas. Though the design is also adept at raiding tactics, its small cargo
bays and limited fuel bunkerage impede independent operations .
