Smoke Jumpers

==Description==
The Smoke Jumper battle armor is a prototype designed by Clan Coyote scientists in an effort to create an "ultimate" battle armor that could handle any situation. Its success was also its failure. The armor's neccessary versatility required that certain compromises were made. First, it is the first Battle Armor by a full Clan to be adjustable for normal-sized pilots. This controversial decision was just the beginning of its many hurdles as most Elementals refused to use it. Secondly, while well armed, the suit's abilities can be found easily enough in other more familiar and better armored suits currently in production. Clan Coyote scientists convinced their superiors to share this prototype technology with Clan Wolf's scientist caste in an attempt to save the design. The name "Smoke Jumper" was coined by the Clan Wolf Scientists who saw the design specs and said the suit reminded them of stories of old Earth fire-fighters who jumped into the middle of raging forest fires in an attempt to put them out. As of 3071 Clan Wolf has built several dozen "original" suits for trials and is currently putting them through tests.
==Armament==
Wanting to take advantage of the newly designed Anti-Personnel Gauss Rifle of Jade Falcon design, the scientists located it in the suit's right arm much like an Elemental's main weapon. In order to make sure the suit design could operate over long terms, it comes with an integral additional ammo magazine for the rifle, holding an additional two-hundred rounds. Liking the Salamander's Inferno missile, the designer's added a single SRM Launcher to the suit's torso, but added 4 rounds for added long-term mayhem. Normal SRM rounds can be substituted in a pinch of course. The Inferno SRM's usage predicated the need for Fire Resistant armor, but only with enough to protect it from an Inner Spere ER Large Laser. In the hopes of increasing the suit's ability to find and detect enemies they also added a complex Heat Sensor system to the suit. A nasty looking Heavy Vibro Claw rounds out the suit's left arm and gives it an advantage against other Battle Armor designs. All these various weapons and add-ons preclude the use of an Anti-Personnel weapon support mount (Although many believe the AP Gauss and Vibro Claw make it unneccessary) or improvements in movement. Therefore, at best, it has the same basic jump capabilities as a standard Elemental. The Smoke Jumper can perform Anti-Mech attacks as well as ride Omni-Mechs with ease.
==Variants==
None yet. The suit's design leaves very little to compromise. Clan Wolf may develop an alternate configuration eventually in an effort to perfect the design.
