A lance of ''Legionnaire''s played an important role in the [[Third Battle of New Avalon]], where they quickly assaulted the Blakist force's left flank as they were attempting to ford the Thames river, breaking their momentum and eventually forcing them off world. Capable of reaching 118 km/h, the ''Legionnaire'' is a fast flanker. The ''Legionnaire'' was one of the last new designs to be mass produced by the Achernar BattleMech factory. == Weapons and Equipment == The ''Legionnaire'' is built on an [[endo steel]] chassis, which is protected by nine and a half tons of armor. Its massive [[Magna 350 XL]] [[extralight engine]] allows the 'Mech to reach its max speed of 118 km/h, and allows it to flank slower forces with ease.<ref name=TRO3075p76f>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 76–77</ref> The ''Legionnaire'' is built around a single [[Mydron Model RC]] [[RAC/5]] with three tons of ammunition, slaved to a sophisticated [[targeting computer]], giving it extreme accuracy in battle.<ref name=TRO3075p76f/> == Variants == *; LGN-1X : This was the original prototype created in [[3068]], which was designed to be a scout 'Mech. It was armed with a [[RAC/2]], two [[ER medium laser]]s, had a [[Beagle active probe]], and an additional half-ton of armor. The LGN-2X prototype was chosen for production instead.<ref name=TRJp100f /> BV (2.0) = 1,322<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 56</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 145</ref> *; LGN-2F : Based on the LGN-2X1 MUSE FIRE design, this variant uses a [[torso-mounted cockpit]] to protect the pilot. The [[targeting computer]] has been removed and a pair of arm-mounted [[ER medium laser]]s joins the standard [[RAC/5]]. Nearly ten tons of [[reflective armor]] provides additional protection from energy weapons, but leaves the 'Mech slightly more vulnerable to ballistic and missile attacks. BV (2.0) = 1,808<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 111</ref> *; LGN-2K : This [[3128]] variant demanded by [[Republic of the Sphere#Prefectures|Prefect]] [[Katana Tormark]] swaps out the [[RAC/5]] for an [[ER PPC]], turning the ''Legionnaire'' into a potent sniper. The weight saved enables the addition of enough [[jump jet]]s for the 'Mech to leap up to 210 meters at a time and more armor. It also carries a [[targeting computer]] and [[MASC]] system to reach a top speed of nearly 150 km/h.

The standard armor was replaced by [[Clan]] made [[reflective armor]], and a Clan built [[RAC/5]] was crammed into the right torso. To provide room for the pilot, the MUSE FIRE uses a [[torso-mounted cockpit]], and the room freed in the 'Mech's head is used to store three tons of ammunition. This version doesn't carry the [[targeting computer]] of the standard version. BV (2.0) = 2,032<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Davion'', p. 3</ref> *; LGN-Ortega: The personal 'Mech of [[Raul Ortega]] moves the [[RAC/5]] from its torso mount to the right arm, giving it a wider field of fire. It also exchanges the [[targeting computer]] for three [[medium laser]]s.

Ultimately, the design team produced the ''Legionnaire'' BattleMech.<ref name=TRO3075p76f/> * ''[[Blitzkrieg]]'' - The role of the ''Legionnaire'' was inspired by the performance of the ''Blitzkrieg'' BattleMech during the [[Federated Commonwealth Civil War]].
