OVERVIEW
The TME-151 Jove assault BattleMech was concieved, produced, and sold in the early 3000s as a replacement for the unexciting and ineffective BNC-3E Banshee. Equal in mass to the late-2400-era Terran Hegemony 'Mech, the Jove flaunts thrice the firepower and an equal amount of armor for a minimal reduction in speed. Patterned to resemble the stocky, broadly-built 'Mechs of old, the Jove both looks and plays the part of a well-built war machine.
CAPABILITIES
Its notable arsenal is made up of a 10-class autocannon on the right shoulder, twin large lasers on the left shoulder, twin long-range missile five-packs deep within both side torsos, twin medium lasers mounted above each twin missile pack emplacement, and a rear-firing head-mounted medium laser. The massive arms are devoid of weapons, allowing them to flail mercilessly in hand-to-hand combat against usually smaller foes. Eighteen heat sinks reduce the 'Mech's heat signature as much as possible, but firing the large lasers and autocannon together still causes a minimal heat spike. Fifteen tons of standard armor gird its chassis, making it a terrible foe against all comers.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-151, despite being 60 years old, is a popular 'Mech with many home-grown design modifications concerning modern technology. TME has not produced an advanced-technology modification of the Jove, but may base a future advanced design on the Jove's spacious chassis.
