MercTech: Atlas

## History:

Few mechs can equal the sheer terror of a 100 ton Atlas, bristling with weapons and sporting its skull-like head. Designed to the specifications of the legendary Star League general Aleksandr Kerensky, the Atlas was to be "A 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally". The Atlas accomplished all these with flying colors, with 19 tons of armor providing unrivaled protection for a mech of its time, a large and varied weapons loadout suited for all ranges, and its death's head instilling horror into those unfortunate enough to face it.

Despite the fall of the Star League and the brutal conflicts of the Succession Wars, the Atlas would remain in production across the Inner Sphere, piloted only by the richest mechwarriors or the most skilled (or in the Lyrans' case, the most influential) officers. As old and new technologies would become available the Atlas would see a large number of new variants introduced throughout the 31st Century, taking advantage of them to increase its lethality or improve its command capabilities.
