In
response to orders from General Aleksandr Kerensky for the production
of a new medium 'Mech, Blue Shot Weaponry was awarded a contract in
2765 to build the Starslayer for the SLDF. However, the numerous delays
that plagued Blue Shot throughout the 'Mech's production run prevented
it from being built in great numbers. By the time the bugs had been
worked out, the SLDF was embroiled in the Amaris Civil War, and more
Starslayers ended up in storage than on the front lines. These hidden
Starslayers later became a boon to House and mercenary units that stumbled
on them. Recent versions of the Starslayer replace the standard chassis
with endo steel, making the 'Mech both lighter and sturdier. Built to
be rugged and dependable, the Starslayer was intended for garrison,
mop-up, and recon duties. The designers at Blue Shot used well-established
technologies in an effort to make the Starslayer easy to maintain and
to allow the 'Mech to remain in the field for long periods. Two large
lasers give the Starslayer its heavy firepower, backed up by two medium
lasers and a small laser. An SRM-4 missle pack enables the Starslayer
to engage in close fighting, and CASE protects the pilot from ammo explosions.
