Description
The Opossum is DiNapoli Industries' first product, a small SalvageMech that stands out for its low cost, high reliability, and advanced sensors. The basic design is quite competitive on the SalvageMech market, but ineffective in combat.[2]
In 3131, 21st Centauri Lancers technician Jon Roberson was permitted to modify his Opossum to include light self-defense weaponry. This modified Opossum performed well against unmarked attackers on Ventabren, catching the attention of his officers, the media, and DiNapoli's soon-owner Bannson Universal Unlimited. Under Bannson Universal, an official refit kit was released duplicating Roberson's modifications. The OPO-3 MOD found a home in units looking for combat-capable and self-protecting salvage equipment.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
The OPO-3 Opossum MOD wields a light AC/2 that takes up much of the right arm, assisted by an advanced fire control system. Its left arm, a salvage arm, remains dedicated to the 'Mech's original purpose. Heavy industrial armor keeps the Opossum somewhat protected.[2]
Variants
- OPO-2
- The original Opossum SalvageMech carries, instead of the light AC/2, a spot welder and a Beagle Active Probe. It was introduced in 3110. BV (2.0) = 240.[2][3]
