The ''Vanquisher'' has its genesis in the development of reverse engineered [[Improved C3 Computer]]s. Once the [[Word of Blake]] had perfected their version of [[C3i]], [[Cameron St. Jamais]] contacted [[Skobel MechWorks]] and contracted them to produce a 'Mech that would showcase the features of the new system. The ''Vanquisher'' was the result of that request.<ref name=TRO3067p102f/> In order to allow it to carry as heavy a payload as possible without sacrificing durability, the 'Mech is built on a Hollis Alteration Mark VI [[Endo Steel]] that carries a Vlar 300 [[fusion engine]], which propels the 'Mech to a top speed of 54 km/h. The ''Vanquisher'' is protected by nineteen and a half tons of armor with [[CASE]] in both side torsos to protect the 'Mech from going down in an ammunition explosion.<ref name=TRO3067p102f/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Intended to stay back and let faster units spot for it using the C3i system, the ''Vanquisher'' carries a pair of [[Corean (LGR)|Corean]] [[Light Gauss Rifle]]s backed up by two [[Diverse Optics Sunbeam (ERLL)|Diverse Optics Sunbeam]] [[ER Large Laser]]s, giving the ''Vanquisher'' almost unparalleled reach on the battlefield. For close combat, the 'Mech has three [[Diverse Optics (ERML)|Diverse Optics Type]] [[ER Medium Laser]]s, which are usually enough to dissuade most lighter 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3067p102f/> ==Variants== *; VQR-2B : The 2B variant of the ''Vanquisher'' makes up roughly fifteen percent of the current production run. This variant carries four [[Ultra Autocannon/5]]s in place of the Light Gauss Rifles and ER Large Lasers. While this variant is much more reliant on ammunition-based weapons, the four Ultra Autocannon/5s allow the 'Mech to put more fire downrange at a somewhat shorter range envelope than the 2A variant.<ref name=TRJp190f /> BV (1.0) = 1,832 (C3: 223)<ref>''Combat Operations'', p. 135</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,073<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 180</ref> *; VQR-5V : An upgraded version of the ''Vanquisher'', the 5V keeps the ER Large Lasers of the 2A.

It has a Gauss Rifle in the right arm and two [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser]]s in the left arm as its main striking power. Supporting these are twin MML-3s and two ER Medium Lasers. Two tons of ammo are carried for the MMLs and Gauss Rifle. This variant was used by [[Demi-Precentor]] Pravuil, who was second in command of the [[40th Shadow Division]].
