Description
Produced on Terra by StarCorp Industries, the Quirinus is a late 31st Century Medium Battle Armor which was originally produced for general sale. Developed as mainline trooper in the early years of the Republic Era, the Quirinus was sold initially to fractured Free Worlds League. While not a flashy as many of its contemporaries of its time, the suit is known for its reliability and good unit in the general field. The battle armor would find its way into hands of Mercenaries units and elements of the Republic of the Sphere.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
The armor is designed to be a generalist in the field, which it can handle number situations and endure considerable punishment for its size class. The Quirinus's soldier is protected by 480g of Reactive Armor, giving it extra protection from incoming missile and artillery fire. The suit's mobility comes from its Jump Jets, which produce enough thrust to be able to move 90 meters per-leap, while its ground speed is only 10 kph.
Its left arm's Modular Weapon Mount gives the Quirinus's the ability for its users to choose its main weapon loadout for any given mission. Quirinus was originally introduced in 3093 with two weapon selections, a long-range Light David Gauss Rifle[5] and a flexible Grenade Launcher[6]. In 3138, a Machine Gun[7] mount was added to its typical arsenal of ballistic weaponry. For the mount typically ballistic weapons. Armor's permanent weaponry and equipment includes a Light TAG designator and a vibro version of the Battle Claw for anti-BattleMech physical attacks.[8]
