The ''Marauder'' was one of the most well-known 'Mechs in existence and originally meant to usher in a new generation of 'Mechs. Unfortunately, with the fall of the [[Star League]], this new generation never quite materialized. On its own merits though, the ''Marauder'' was a devastatingly powerful 'Mech, outclassed only by larger machines like the ''[[Stalker]]'' and ''[[BattleMaster]]''.<ref name=TRO3025>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 98</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 298</ref> During the years of the Star League the ''Marauder'' was a favorite in the [[Gunslinger Program]] thanks to its tremendous firepower, while its advanced electronics endeared it to many [[battalion]] and [[regiment]]al commanders. On the hellish battlefields of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], massed formations of ''Marauders'' proved devastating as shock units in breaking through enemy lines. However, the rarity of these 'Mechs ([[House Liao]] only fielded several hundred ''Marauders'' total in [[2828]]) often meant they had to be paired with other, similar 'Mechs such as the ''[[Warhammer]]'' and ''[[Thunderbolt]]''.<ref name=TRO3025>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 98</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 298</ref> When the [[Helm Memory Core]] was recovered, the ''Marauder'' was an obvious candidate for [[lostech]] upgrades. [[House Davion]] were among the first to field an updated variant, but their eagerness backfired when [[House Kurita]] captured [[Quentin]] - and its ''Marauder'' factory - in the [[War of 3039]]. With the Kuritans in possession of this first variant, the [[Federated Commonwealth]] decided to build a second using a different configuration. Other lostech-inspired variants were also built in time for the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name=TRO3050>''Technical Readout: 3050'', p. 174</ref> A second revitalization of the ''Marauder'' occurred at the hands of the Capellan Confederation, though notably they had never before built the 'Mech themselves. On behalf of Ceres Metals Industries, the [[Chancellor]] himself, [[Sun-Tzu Liao]], negotiated a deal to acquire the design from General Motors in exchange for allowing [[HildCo Interplanetary]] to resume exporting its products to the [[Federated Suns]]. While a success, disturbing rumors from the [[Periphery]] reported a number of these seemingly backwater realms fielding updated ''Marauders'' of their own, with origins suspected to be of a [[Word of Blake|sinister]] nature.<ref name=TROPP>''Technical Readout: Project Phoenix'', p. 48</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== Standing at twelve meters tall,<ref>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 9</ref> the ''Marauder'' carried a payload dedicated to long-range firepower in the form of two [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]]s and a [[General Motors Whirlwind]] [[Autocannon/5]]. These three weapons all had similar range profiles that allowed the ''Marauder'' use them to their maximum effect at long ranges. The PPCs were carried in armored gauntlets, matching the same configuration as the ''Warhammer'', but the arms' versatile ball-and-socket joints provided a faster traverse rate and superior field of fire. Compact enough to be carried in the arms, the Hellstar PPCs were also durable enough to withstand heavy hand-to-hand combat, allowing the ''Marauder'' to bludgeon opponents into scrap. Firing a three-round burst of 120mm shells,<ref>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 3</ref> the [[autocannon]] was mounted atop the right torso and fed by one ton of ammunition stored in the left torso. Added as an afterthought, its connection to the main chassis was tenuous and a successful hit could easily disable the system, while the gun itself was often temperamental. If the enemy was able to close the range, the ''Marauder'' could rely on its two [[Magna Mk II]] [[medium laser]]s, also mounted in the gauntlets, which provided adequate defense against other 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3025>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 98</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 298</ref> The once-unique silhouette of the ''Marauder'' made it much harder to target than the more common humanoid models. It also originally carried eleven and a half tons of special Valiant Lamellor armor which was superior at distributing kinetic and thermal energy and less massive than other standard armor types. As the knowledge for its manufacture was lost though, many ''Marauders'' became a patchwork quilt as sections were damaged and had to be replaced. Sixteen [[heat sinks]] easily allowed a competent [[MechWarrior]] to keep their waste heat under control, while a powerful nineteen-ton [[fusion engine]] gave it a decent cruising speed of 43.2 km/h.<ref name=TRO3025>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 98</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 298</ref> The ''Marauder'' was not without its flaws, potent though it was. In addition to the weak linkage between its autocannon and chassis, the rotation rings connecting the chassis with the leg assemblies was a similar weak point in the design. Many ''Marauder'' pilots took to mounting improvised armoring around these points in an attempt to protect these vulnerabilities. The powerful HiRez tracking system, located in the forward section of the 'Mech, was also known for impeding the pilot's field of view.<ref name=TRO3025>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 98</ref> ==Variants== *; MAD-1R : The earliest version of the ''Marauder'', used by the [[SLDF Royal units|Royal brigades]] of the [[SLDF]], the 1R used [[CASE]] to protect the autocannon ammunition and carried eleven tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.

Because of the abundance of large lasers built by that realm and to make up for their shortage in reliable PPCs, the 3M model carried two large lasers in place of the PPCs. While running cooler than the weapons they replaced, the large lasers also caused slightly less damage. Additionally, the 3M added four heat sinks to the design, making the 'Mech much more manageable for pilots who have trouble with overheating their 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3025/><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 204</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,105,<ref name=COFWL>''Combat Operations'', p. 130</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,335<ref name=MUL125/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 492</ref> *; MAD-4X : This experimental variant was made at [[Ronin Incorporated]]'s facility on [[Wallis]] in [[3039]]. Techs removed the standard weaponry from a ''Marauder'' and replaced the arm mounted weapons with a [[Binary Laser Cannon]] in each arm, while the torso mounted autocannon was replaced by twin [[SRM-6]] launchers backed by one ton of ammunition for each launcher. The ''Marauder''-4X was also noteworthy because it used a [[Prototype Endo Steel]] chassis. To keep the heat under control, technicians installed twelve single heat sinks and six prototype Double Heat Sinks.<ref name=XTRO:SWp7>''Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars, Volume 1'', p. 7</ref> *; MAD-5CS : Developed by [[ComStar]] for the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], this ''Marauder'' variant is a fairly simplistic upgrade to allow MAD-3R pilots to readily adapt to. The MAD-5CS has an [[Magna Sunspot]] [[ER PPC]] and [[Aberdovey]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]] in each arm weapon pod while the class 5 autocannon is replaced by a [[Lubalin]] [[LB 10-X]] autocannon with two tons of ammunition. To make room for the new weapons and the eighteen double heat sinks, ComStar techs installed a [[Vlar 300 XL|Vlar 300]] [[XL engine]] from the [[Clanbuster]] cache.<ref name=BoTp172>''BattleTech: Battle of Tukayyid'', p. 172: "Marauder MAD-5CS"</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,648<ref name="MUL_MAD_5CS">[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7600/marauder-mad-5cs MAD-5CS ''Marauder entry on the MUL'']</ref> *; MAD-5D : The 5D ''Marauder'' was the first updated variant to be designed in the wake of the Helm Memory Core recovery, coming off the factory lines in [[3047]].<ref name="MUL MAD-5D>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/2039/marauder-mad-5d MAD-5D ''Marauder entry on the MUL'']</ref> A direct upgrade of the 3D model, the 5D's engine was replaced with a General Motors 300 XL engine, retaining the same speed profile at a much-reduced weight, to allow the entire weapons payload to be stripped out and upgraded. The 5D's primary weapons were two [[Defiance 1001]] [[ER PPC]]s, carried in either arm, supported by a [[Sutel Precision Line]] [[Large Pulse Laser]] in place of the autocannon. The medium lasers were replaced with two Sutel Precision Line [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, while a [[Federated SuperStreak]] [[Streak SRM-2]] launcher was also added to the left torso, along with one ton of [[CASE]]-protected ammo, for more close-range firepower. The model was protected by fourteen tons of armor, mostly added to the legs and side torsos, and carried sixteen double heat sinks for heat management. It also had a jumping capability of up to 120 meters thanks to four [[jump jet]]s mounted in its legs. When the Kuritans captured Quentin, Independence Weaponry began building the 5D to augment their forces; unwilling to completely let go of the design, General Motors also built the 5D for FedCom forces out of [[Kathil]].<ref name=TRO3050/><ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 206</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,504,<ref name=COFS /> BV (2.0) = 1,787<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 176</ref> *; MAD-5D-DC : The 5D-DC strips out the Streak launcher, ammunition, CASE, and one heat sink from a ''Marauder''-5D to make room for a [[Command Console]].<ref name=rg6p6/> BV (2.0) = 1,787<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 6'', p. 23</ref> *; MAD-5L : The 5L variant of the 'Mech was the first natively-produced ''Marauder'' variant for the Capellan Confederation.

Built on a [[Ceres Metals Lite]] chassis with a [[Rawlings 300 Fusion]] engine, the 'Mech was armored with fourteen tons of [[Ceres Heavy Stealth Armor]] backed up by a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. The 'Mech carried two [[Martell]] [[ER Large Laser]]s and two [[Ceres Arms]] [[ER medium laser]]s in its arms and, in place of the autocannon, a [[Ceres Arms Warrior]] [[ER PPC]]. The heat from the 5L's all-energy arsenal was handled by eighteen [[double heat sink]]s. Additionally, the 5L was built using [[Triple Strength Myomer]], allowing the 'Mech to run at speeds of up to 86 km/h when it was operating in its optimum heat range.

The 9S also used double heat sinks to handle its heat intensive weapons payload. The 9S carried two ER PPCs as its primary weapons as well as an LB-X Autocannon/10 for long-range combat. For close ranges, the 9S was equipped with two ER medium lasers and a [[flamer]]. The 9S was also equipped with exceptional electronic systems including an ECM Suite and a [[Beagle Active Probe]].<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrades'', p. 216</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,403,<ref name=COLA /> BV (2.0) = 1,786<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 186</ref> *; MAD-9W : This Blakist design carried an [[ER Large Laser]] and [[Medium Pulse Laser]] in each arm, backed up by a [[Snub-Nose PPC]] in the torso. Five [[Improved Jump Jet]]s allowed it to cover 150 meters at a time, while the [[Improved C3 Computer]] could share targeting data with friendly units. To make room for these improvements it used a light fusion engine, while a [[Heavy-Duty Gyro]] provided significant protection against battlefield damage. BV (2.0) = 1,788<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 187</ref> *; MAD-9W2 : Based on captured [[Word of Blake]] plans formerly owned by [[Vicore Industries]], the MAD-9W2 carried twin ER large lasers and medium pulse lasers, supported by a single snub-nose PPC. To offset a lower top speed, this ''Marauder'' mounted five [[Improved Jump Jet]]s. A Heavy-Duty Gyro enhanced battlefield longevity, while a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] and C3 slave maximized its electronics performance. A light fusion engine provided weight savings to allow all these upgrades. BV (2.0) = 1,868<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 261</ref> *; MAD-11D : Produced by the Federated Suns, this ''Marauder'' uses an [[Endo-Composite]] skeleton, [[XL Gyro]], and XL engine to free weight. A [[Clan]]-spec ER PPC is in each arm, supported by a Medium X-Pulse Laser. A [[Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle]] with two tons of ammunition is protected by [[CASE II]]. Seventeen double heat sinks keep the weapon heat under control.

Their descendants the [[Clan]]s redesigned it into an 85-ton variant that mounts three [[ER PPC]]s, a pair of [[Medium Pulse Lasers]] and four [[ER Small Lasers]]. * ''[[Marauder II]]'' - Originally built as a collaboration between GM and [[Blackwell Heavy Industries]] exclusively for the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] [[mercenary unit]], the ''Marauder II'' mates the abilities of the fearsome ''Marauder'' to a massively strengthened jump capable 100 ton assault 'Mech chassis. * ''[[Timber Wolf]]'' - When [[Operation Revival]] first started, the then-unknown invaders used 'Mechs not recognized by targeting systems. One such instance involved a confused targeting system identifying a ''Timber Wolf'' as either an MAD-series ''Marauder'' or CAT-series ''Catapult'', due to physical similarities to both. After-action analysis of the data recording resulted in the ''Timber Wolf'' being dubbed with the operational name "Mad Cat" by Inner Sphere forces. ==Notable Pilots== :''See [[:Category:Notable Marauder Pilots]]'' ==Notes== * The ''Marauder'' BattleMech is one of the most iconic early BattleMechs featured in BattleTech (and previously [[Battledroids]]).
