Mechs/MTR-5K

==Description==
The Maelstrom was originally designed to carry on legacy of the Marauder, with its hunched-over profile and the unique ball-and-socket construction. The collapse of the Star League doomed the project and left the Maelstrom on the drawing board. With the discovery of the Helm Memory Core by the GDL, the plans for the Maelstrom were also rediscovered and production was started in the Inner Sphere. The Maelstrom is built using a weight-saving 375 XL engine that propels the 'Mech up to 86.4 km/h. For protection, the Maelstrom carries 14.5 tons of armor and uses 19 double heat sinks to handle the 'Mech's heavy heat load. The armament of the Maelstrom is a Defiance 1001 ER PPC paired up with a Cyclops XII ER Large Laser. For close combat, the Maelstrom carries two Defiance P5M Medium Pulse Lasers and a Jackson Model 12 Small Laser. Finally, the Maelstrom carries a TAG laser designator.
