Beowulf BEO-14

The Beowulf BEO-14 is a 45-ton skirmisher, a 3075 refit of the 3059 BEO-12. In place of the original's twin ER Medium Lasers and Large Pulse Laser, it fields twin Medium VSP Lasers in the left arm, an ER Medium Laser in the right arm, an ER Small Laser and a Small Laser in the left torso, and a second ER Small Laser in the right torso. A sword joins the right-arm laser, and this command 'Mech carries a C3 slave unit in the head where the BEO-12 mounted its TAG. Triple-Strength Myomer replaces the standard myomer of the earlier design; under combat heat the BEO-14 reaches a boosted cruising speed of 86 km/h, where the BEO-12 reached a sprint speed of 130 km/h with MASC engaged. Cruising speed holds at 65 km/h and top speed at 97, though heat-sink count falls from 12 double units to 10. The Beagle active probe in the center torso carries over from the BEO-12, and the refit is handled by the Arcturan Arms Refit Facility on Arcturus.
