Powered by a Rawlings 225 [[fusion engine]] with a top speed of 54 km/h, the Brutus compares well to other fusion engine-equipped tanks of similar weight and role like the [[Von Luckner]] and [[Manticore]], though unlike its contemporaries it only carries a relatively light eight and one-half tons of Kressly Stoneskin 40X armor in exchange for a heavier weapons array.<ref name=TRO3058p64/> Despite its abilities, the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] remained lukewarm on the design. The tank was relegated to the Confederation's second-line militias and garrison postings, where it finally saw action during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Impressed by its performance, the [[AFFS]] quickly pressed the large number of captured tanks into service among the frontline [[Regimental Combat Team]]s of the AFFS and [[AFFC]].<ref name=TRO3058p64/><ref name=cm50>''Chaos March'', p. 50</ref> After the formation of the [[Chaos March]], the Brutus saw heavy service as a stand-in among [[BattleMech]] poor noble forces, until Epsilon Eridani was accepted into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] and Kressly produced the design exclusively for the [[Word of Blake]], helping to bolster Blakist armor units in the lead-up to the [[Jihad]].<ref name=TRO3058Upp108-109/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The tank's principal weapons are twin turret-mounted [[Firmir MaxiLase]] heavy lasers supported by a [[LRM 20|twenty-tube Delta Dart long range missile launcher]]. To complement the large lasers at short ranges, the Brutus was given two [[SRM-6|Hovertec six-tube]] and a single [[SRM-2|Hovertec twin-tube]] [[short range missile]] launcher in its frontal firing arc. The SRM launchers have a ton of ammunition each, while its LRM launcher has been given three tons of ammunition.<ref name=TRO3058p64/><ref name=cm50/> ==Variants== *;LRM : This [[3001]] variant removed both of the Large Lasers, instead mounting a pair of turreted [[LRM 20]] launchers. The Launchers had been given six tons of ammunition to keep the tank going in battle. The armor protection of the tank had been slightly increased as well. BV (1.0) = 845; BV (2.0) = 1,248<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 165</ref> *;PPC : In place of the twin Large Lasers and LRM 20 this [[3005]] version saw a pair of [[Parti-Kill Heavy Cannon]] [[PPC]]s, and an additional SRM 2. It also sees increase in armor protection. BV (1.0) = 735; BV (2.0) = 1,208<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 166</ref> *;PPC Variant 2 : This [[3011]] variant keeps the standard Brutus armor layout and Large Lasers, but replaces the LRM and SRM-6 launchers with a single PPC. For additional short range firepower four SRM-2 racks are mounted on the vehicle but one ton of ammunition can lead to shortages in an ongoing battle. BV (2.0) = 979<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 167</ref> *;HPPC : This [[3075]] variant replaces the Lasers with a [[Heavy PPC]], and allows the vehicle to take part in a [[C3]] network. The rest of the armament remains the same as the standard Brutus.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 191</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,186<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 43</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Brutus.JPG|Original Brutus from ''[[Technical Readout: 3058|TRO:3058]]'' File:Color-vehicle.png|Cutaway of Brutus from ''[[TechManual]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Chaos March (sourcebook)|Chaos March]]'' * ''[[Combat Operations]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3055/3058]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrade]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3058]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3085]]'' [[Category:Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Tracked Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:75 ton Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Heavy Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Capellan Confederation Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Federated Commonwealth Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Lyran Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Word of Blake Combat Vehicles]]
