Vindicator VND-3LD (Dao)

The Vindicator VND-3LD is a 45-ton sniper that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a supercharger driving it to 86 km/h when engaged. An ER PPC in the right arm delivers its reach, while a BattleMech Taser sits in the left arm and a Laser AMS covers the head. Both arms carry an actuator enhancement system, and a jump capability of 120 metres lets it reposition despite its long-range role. Clan ferro-fibrous armor and Clan endo steel structure cut weight on the 180 Inner Sphere compact fusion engine chassis, and the frame is built rugged and field-serviceable. It is a field refit assembled at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
