Alexis

==Description==
The Alexis was dreamed up by the mercenary group Hussar's Hunters in response to a battle on TK-2410. The newly surveyed planet promised rich mineral deposits and marginal atmosphere, but by the time the Howling Mist Mining Corporation had arrived, the planet's location had become known and a large pirate army of mostly armored vehicles and light 'Mechs had seized control. Resorting to threats of violence and taking of hostages, the pirates terrorized the peaceful miners, while Howling Mist rapidly hired Hussar's Hunters to clear out the pirates.
After a lengthy battle, the heads of Hussar's Hunters decided they needed a dedicated pirate-killer. While the Alexis is not designed to specifically engage assault 'Mechs one-on-one, it IS designed to attack and defend against waves of tanks and infantry. Not meant to operate alone, but rather as a member of a heavy support lance, the Alexis promises to see much action in the future all along the Periphery. 
==Armament==
The Alexis starts off at range with a Mydron Tornado Rotary AC/2 and a Hyper velocity AC/5 (each with a single ton of ammo)to seek out and cause critical damage to tanks before they can get into their optimal firing range. Next up comes a Clan-tech ER PPC, followed by a Clan-Tech LRM-15 with two tons of Swarm ammo. At medium range come in a pair of Clan SRM-2s sharing a ton of Inferno ammo, along with a Clan-tech Extended Range Medium Laser. For short-range mop-up work, the 'Mech has a pair of Clan-based machine guns that share a half-ton of ammunition. Protecting the whole 'Mech is 15.1 tons of Clan Ferro-Fibrous armor wrapped around a Clan-Tech Endosteel Structure with a small cockpit. It is equipped with a supercharger for bursts of speed that surprise many for a 'Mech of this size. The design also sports an Angel ECM, almost as an afterthought. 18 Clan Double-Heat Sinks more than compensate for the excess heat generated by the vast array of weapons. All of the ammunition is stored in the highly expensive and rare CASE II system.
==Variants==
Due to the rarity of captured Clan-tech, no more than six have been built for the Hussar's, and no variants exist. Clan Ice Hellion, however, is in negotiations to purchase the design for manufacture after several touman from other clans witnessed the 'Mech in action on holo-news vids.
