Recognition notes
The Tempest C is a 65-ton sniper built around long-range punch, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a jump range of 120 metres. A Gauss rifle fills the right arm and a large pulse laser the left, while an ATM 9 sits in the left torso for stand-off work. Three medium lasers, two in the center torso and one in the head, cover closer threats, and the mixed Inner Sphere and Clan technology base runs on a 260 Inner Sphere XL fusion engine with Inner Sphere endo steel structure and standard armor. Irian BattleMechs Unlimited builds it at Angell II.
