Finished: Project IX/24

In the name of espirit de corps

That's the canon explanation for the Clan Blood Spirit's name. In its honor the Clan ended up being the most isolationist and grumpiest of them all, until they got destroyed in the 3080s. These things happened sometimes.

A generic medium-weight Star

With a half-serious check turning out nothing specially interesting, like a Cluster, Trinary/Binary or anything of that sort to call a home unit for these Points. I decided that they'd just be generic Alpha Galaxy units, either from the same or different units. This was fun in a way, I didn't have to stress too much about this sort of details in a Clan that has been pretty much a mention in the footnotes in most of my BT experiences.

I took a set of photos from each of the hex angles, but wasn't going to share all of each in here.

Mist Lynx

This 25-ton Light OmniMech had jump jets. The completely energy weaponless Prime config carried an LRM-10 launcher, an SRM-4 and full two machine guns. To top this all there was also an Active Probe. In the Inner Sphere the Mist Lynx was known as Koshi, the small death.

Kit Fox

Another Light Omnimech at 30 tons, without Jump Jets, was mostly known from the Jade Falcon Touman. Its primary configuration carried an LB 5-X AutoCannon, an ER Large Laser, a Small Pulse Laser, and a Streak SRM-4 launcher. The freebirths called it Uller.

Stormcrow

Getting to the Mediums, the 55-ton Stormcrow was recently seen in the previous project, so the prime config was also exactly the same: 2x ERLLas, 3x ERMLas. The space samurais of the Draconis Combine mistakenly called it Ryoken.

Ice Ferret

The second Medium Omni, a 45-ton Ice Ferret had its main punch coming from the ER PPC mated with an ER Small Laser for funsies. The other arm had a Streak SRM-2 for the up close and personal -moments, it also had an Active Probe installed. Once again the Spheroids called it in a weird way, this time we'd get to blame the Lyrans for the nickname Fenris.

Shadow Cat

Last on the list was another Medium-class 45-tonner, the Shadow Cat. Its primary configuration was built around the Right Arm's Gauss Rifle, which was supported by two ER Medium Lasers. Active Probes seemed to be a theme here, as the Shadow Cat also had one, and it was the only other 'Mech in this Star to sport Jump Jets. Of all five, this was the only one without a freebirth-assigned codename.
