−	Built with the intention of showing solidarity in the spirit of the new [[Star League]], the '''''Black Watch''''' is the culmination of the efforts of [[Cosara Weaponries]], the [[Northwind Highlanders]], and Captain [[Neil Campbell]] of the [[Royal Black Watch]]. The ''Black Watch'' is built on the same chassis as the classic ''[[Crockett]]'' which served with distinction in the old [[Star League Defense Force]]. The 'Mech is powered by the rugged and durable Strand 255 [[fusion engine]], giving the ''Black Watch'' a top speed of 54.0 km/h. For added mobility, the ''Black Watch'' has three Rawlings 54 [[jump jet]]s that allow the 'Mech to jump up to ninety meters. The ''Black Watch'' has ten [[double heat sink]]s that are more than adequate for the needs of the 'mech and has fifteen tons of Valiant Lamellor armor with [[CASE]] to protect itself from ammunition explosions.<ref name=TRO3060-120>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 120, "Black Watch 'Mech Profile"</ref>	+	Built with the intention of showing solidarity in the spirit of the new [[Star League]], the '''''Black Watch''''' is the cumulation of the efforts of [[Cosara Weaponries]], the [[Northwind Highlanders]], and Captain [[Neil Campbell]] of the [[Royal Black Watch]].

This is backed up by an [[Imperator Automatic]] [[Ultra Autocannon/10]] that can fire at twice the rate of a standard autocannon. For medium to short ranges, the ''Black Watch'' has a [[Shigunga (MRM40)|Shigunga]] [[MRM-40]] launcher. The ''Black Watch'' has received some criticism due to its heavy reliance on ammunition based weapons. To make the most of them, the ''Black Watch'' carries a [[C3 slave]] unit to allow it to share targeting data with friendly units through a C3 network.<ref name=TRO3060-120/> ==Variants== *;BKW-9R : This variant was introduced during the [[Jihad]]. All of the original base model's weaponry has been removed in favor of newer equipment. The new loadout includes a [[Heavy PPC]] mounted in the right arm, and a [[Gauss rifle]] fitted in the left with 1 ton of ammunition. The 'Mech also sports a pair of [[MML-7|7-Tube Multi-Missile Launchers]], one in each side torso, which are provided with 4 tons of ammunition.
