[[Inner Sphere Designation for Clan BattleMechs|Code-named]] '''''Kraken''''' by [[Inner Sphere]] forces who opposed it, the ''Bane'' was first built in [[Introduction Year::2827]]. It was originally a significant part of many [[Clan]] ''[[touman]]''s, but was gradually relegated to second-line status following the introduction of the [[OmniMech]]. As such, it is still critical to many defensive units. The design uses a lightweight [[XL engine]] so that it can mount the arsenal that it does. Nineteen tons of armor protects this venerable assault 'Mech. ==Weapons and Equipment== This long-range, direct-fire support 'Mech is armed with ten [[Ultra Autocannon/2]]s. These weapons have among the longest ranges in the Clan arsenal, so the ''Bane'' can stand back at extreme range and pepper an enemy unit with impunity--but only for a limited time, with just four ammunition bins between them. To deter enemies within minimum range of the autocannons, especially unarmored [[infantry]], the ''Bane'' mounts four [[Machine Gun]]s. Ten [[double heat sink]]s are sufficient to keep the 'Mech cool. ==Variants== *;''Bane'' 2 : This variant is effective at both medium and short range. It trades out the autocannons for four [[Ultra Autocannon/10]]s. In addition, it is capable of spitting out almost twice the damage of the original. Fourteen tons of ammunition allow the ''Bane'' 2 to stay in the fight for a long time.

Each arm carries a pair of [[Rotary AC/2]] autocannon. The left and right torso each carry an [[LRM-10]]; The right torso also carries an [[ER Large Laser]]. Each side torso has one ton of LRM ammo and three tons of Rotary AC ammunition in a [[CASE II]]-protected bay. Seventeen double heat sinks are fitted, and a head-mounted [[ECM Suite]] interferes with targeting systems. BV (2.0) = 2,554<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 17'', p. 44</ref> *;''Bane'' 6 : Inspired by the original configuration, this ''Bane'' mounts five [[ProtoMech AC/2]]s in each arm. The right torso has four [[ER Medium Laser]]s for additional support. These weapons are all tied into a [[Targeting Computer]] for more accuracy. The head carries an ECM suite. Six tons of autocannon ammunition are carried in the side torsos, protected by [[CASE II]]. Thirteen double heat sinks are fitted. To make room for all this equipment, engineers used an Endo-Composite structure. BV (2.0) = 2,339<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 17'', p. 45</ref> *;''Bane'' 7 : Derived from the ''Bane'' 6, each arm has a [[HAG/40]]. The right torso carries a [[Large Pulse Laser]] and four [[ER Medium Laser]]s. Eight tons of HAG ammo is in the left torso, while the right torso carries four more tons of HAG ammo. No ECM suite is fitted, but fourteen double heat sinks are carried. BV (2.0) = 3,740<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 17'', p. 46</ref> *;''Kraken-XR'' : A [[Clan Jade Falcon]] variant that uses [[Experimental Technology]] extensively, the ''Kraken-XR'' was first spotted at [[Olivetti Weaponry]] on [[Sudeten]]. The standard ''Kraken'' skeleton was replaced by an [[Endo-Composite Structure]] to save weight while keeping strength. The ''Kraken-XR'' uses sixteen [[Laser Heat Sink]]s, and carries nineteen tons of [[Reflective Armor]] for protection. The weapons load appears to be a cross between the ''Bane'' 2 and ''Bane'' 3 variants, consisting of a pair of [[Rotary AC/2]]s in each arm and a [[Streak LRM-10]] in each torso. A single [[ER Large Laser]] acts as a backup weapon in case the ammunition runs dry. For more protection the ''Kraken-XR'' mounts [[CASE II]] in each ammunition bay.
