Harasser

The Harassers were extremely cheap to manufacture, and were produced in large numbers, as they were incorporated into the Galleon Light Tank units within the Free World League.

Weapons and Equipment
A pair of SureShot Mk VI SRM 6-racks give the Harasser more firepower than any other vehicle in its class, but this does come with a price, as it only mounts one and half tons of armor. With such little armor, its best defensive strategy is to use its speed. With a maximum speed of 162 kph, a fleeing Harasser can outrun nearly everything, running circles around heavier BattleMechs and making it a much harder target to hit.

Variants

 * LRM : One of the most common variants, this 2821 version replaces the pair of SureShot Mk VI SRM-6 with a single FarFire LRM-10 and two additional tons of ammunition. This enables it to provide long-range fire support, while keeping out of harm's way. BV (2.0) = 412


 * Flamer : This highly specialized 2851 variant mounts eight vehicle Flamers in place of the SRM-6 racks. BV (2.0) = 230


 * Small Laser : Another specialized variant design, to operate without support and far from supply lines. It mounts five Small Lasers in the turret. BV (2.0) = 233


 * Medium Laser : A variant seen within the Galleon Light Tank units, this uses two Medium Lasers, salvaged from damaged or destroyed Galleon Light Tanks. BV (2.0) = 341


 * Mini-Peggy : This 3028 variant is a simple scouting vehicle. The SRM-6s are decreased to four packs and a remote sensor dispenser is added. Armor is also increased by a ton. BV (2.0) = 351


 * MML : This 3087 variant of the Harasser uses a Fuel Cell engine to reach speeds of 180km/h. It carries a pair of turret mounted MML-5s, which in turn have two tons of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 427


 * Thunderbolt : Based on the MML variant, this 3089 version carries two Thunderbolt 5 missile launchers and a ton of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 541

Custom Variants

 * Leaping Lisa : An Succession War era experimental version of the Harasser trying to resurrect the famous jumping Kanga. SRM-4s replace the six packs.  Seven jump jets are then added. BV (2.0) = 354


 * Fuel Cell : This variant is equipped with a Fuel Cell engine that allows it to move at a maximum speed of 150km/h. It is also equipped with three turret mounted MML-5s and two tons of ammunition. It is protected by one and a half tons of Reflective Armor. It's used by two spoiled brat twin girls who have committed crimes across The Republic of the Sphere in 3081. BV (2.0) = 447
