== Description ==
Built at [[Defiance Industries]]' [[Furillo]] plant, the '''''Uziel''''' is an effective medium 'Mech that is looked down upon by the [[LAAF]] simply because it is produced on Furillo and not at the prestigious [[Hesperus]] facility. The ''Uziel'' is built on a Foundation E50 [[Endo Steel]] chassis that has a GM 300 [[XL engine]] that provides the 'Mech with a top speed of 97.2 km/h. The 'Mech's mobility is enhanced with six Rawlings 50 [[jump jet]]s that allow the 'Mech to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters. The ''Uziel'' is armored with eight tons of Maximillian 100 armor that gives the ''Uziel'' adequate protection from enemy fire. To dissipate the heat produced by the 'Mech's weapons, it carries eleven [[double heat sink]]s.<ref name="TRO:3067p71">''Technical Readout: 3067'', pp. 71-72, "UZL-3S Uziel"</ref>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Uziel'' has a wide variety of weapons for a medium 'Mech. For long range combat, the ''Uziel'' has a Defiance Shredder [[LB-X Autocannon/2]] that can strike a target at extreme ranges. The rest of the ''Uziel''s arsenal is based around shorter range combat with a Thunderbolt-12 [[Large Pulse Laser]] and a Defiance Model XII [[ER Medium Laser]] for medium range combat. It also has two Diverse Optics Type [[ER Small Laser]]s and a Harvester 20K [[SRM-6]] for close combat. This varied weapons mix makes the ''Uziel'' an excellent trooper 'Mech.<ref name="TRO:3067p71"/>

== Variants ==
*; UZL-2S : Based on the original prototype of the ''Uziel'' developed in [[Introduction Year::3063]]<ref name="MUL2"/>, the 2S carries a pair of [[PPC]]s as its primary weapons for long range combat. The Harvester 20K SRM-6 launcher provides close combat capabilities and a pair of [[Machine Gun]]s provide anti-infantry capabilities. A Beagle [[Active Probe]] allows the 'Mech to detect hidden units and protects the ''Uziel'' from ambushes.<ref name=TRJp104f /> BV (1.0) = 1,215<ref>''Record Sheets: Upgrades'', p. 90</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,352<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 107</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/5331/uziel-uzl-2s/ MUL online entry for the Uziel UZL-2S variant]''</ref>

*; UZL-8S : This variant introduced in [[3075]]<ref name="MUL3"/> trades all the weaponry of the 3S for a [[Streak SRM-6]], Guardian ECM Suite, and a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s in each arm. The engine has been replaced with a smaller model, which reduces the 8S top speed to 86 km/h. However, eight [[Improved Jump Jet]]s provide more mobility.

=== Custom Variants ===
*; <span id="UZL-2S Uziel (Jacob)">UZL-2S ''Uziel'' (Jacob)</span> : Won in combat on [[Arc-Royal]] after [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' arrival, the reborn [[Black Widow Company]]'s XO [[Jacob Kincaid]] set about upgrading his new 'Mech significantly. By the time of the Black Widow's return to [[Outreach]] in early [[Introduction Year::3070]]<ref name="MUL4"/>, Jacob's ''Uziel'' used a lighter 250 rated XL Engine and eight and half tons of [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor to free up weight to mount a [[Rotary AC/5]] in each arm while retaining the ER Small Lasers and SRM-6 rack. Three tons of autocannon reloads keep the rotaries firing, with a single ton carried for the [[SRM]] launcher.

*; UZL-2S ''Uziel'' (Jacob II) : Continuing to upgrade his 'Mech, when the Widows faced off against the [[Opacus Venatori]] in [[3071]]<ref name="MUL5"/>, Jacob's ''Uziel'' carried [[Experimental Technology|experimental systems]]. Fitted with a [[Supercharger]] to boost its speed and mounting extra half ton of armor thanks to its use of an [[XL Gyro]], the [[Rotary Autocannon]]s are replaced with a pair of [[GM Whirlwind Light]] [[Light AC/5]]'s linked to [[BL-AM-WC]] [[Actuator Enhancement System]]s, while the twin small lasers and SRM rack are swapped for [[Defiance Industries]] produced paired [[Defiance P5M]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and [[Defiance Trak-Shot III]] [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher. With a single ton of reloads for the efficient [[Streak Missile Launcher]], four tons of reloads for the autocannons allows Jacob to carry nearly any combination of [[:Category:Special Munitions|specialty munitions]].

===Apocryphal Variants===
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
These variants were introduced in various apocryphal sources, and thus far have not appeared in any canonical media.

''From [[MechWarrior Online]]:''
*; UZL-3P : A refit geared towards long-range fire-support, the -3P mounts an [[Ultra AC/2]] in each arm which are fed by 3 tons of ammo, the ER Small Lasers remain, while the SRM is downgraded to a 4 tube launcher.<ref name=MWO>''MechWarrior Online - Civil War mech pack Sale Page''</ref>

*; UZL-5P : A radical departure from the Uziel's normal loadouts, 2 [[Heavy Machine Gun]]s with 2 tons of ammo in the right arm are effective for engaging infantry as well as light armor, while the left arm mounts an [[ER Medium Laser]]. [[Streak SRM-6]]s in each side torso with 2 tons of ammo provide a close-range punch while a [[Light PPC]] in the center torso gives some ranged firepower. An extra double heat sink ensures little worry of heat.<ref name=MWO/>

*; UZL-6P : A smaller XL 250 engine and the removal of a jump jet and the SRM-6 allows the -6P to upgrade its ER Small lasers to [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and add a [[Medium laser]] to each arm alongside the PPCs. An extra half ton of armor is added and 3 extra double heat sinks are needed to handle the increased heat from the -6P's weapons.<ref name=MWO/>

*; UZL-BE "Belial" : A custom variant, the ''Belial'' mounts a pair of [[Light PPC]]s in each arm, and a [[Streak SRM-4]] with a ton of ammo in each side torso. The 8 tons of armor is upgraded to [[Light Ferro-fibrous]] weave.<ref name=MWO/>
