          Industries began production of the BattleMaster in 2830. Designed to 
          be the largest and most powerful 'Mech ever fielded by the Star League 
          armies, the BLR-1G filled the bill. The firepower that the BattleMaster 
          can generate in one volley is staggering and more than deadly at close 
          range. The reliable Donall PPC is its main fire weapon, with the laser 
          systems as close support fire. Even if the BattleMaster loses all its 
          weapons, it still has its manipulative hands. In emergencies, it can 
          disengage the Donal PPC in order to have both hands free. Though BattleMasters 
          were not produced in great numbers, their sheer size, armor, and firepower 
          have left many still functional despite the numerous battles they have 
          fought in their nearly 200 years in the field. Further, the 'Mech's 
          basic design has proved to be sound and reliable, with few flaws. | |||||||
