OVERVIEW
The TME-94 Abyss is the first BattleMech dedicated to undersea operations.
CAPABILITIES
Its rounded armor doubles as a pressure hull, as its dual-hull construction eliminates the possibility of limb flooding due to armor damage (although armor destruction will still cause depressurization and flooding). Carrying twin long-range torpedo ten-racks and a single short-range torpedo two-rack for underwater engagements and four medium lasers for surface battles, the TME-94 is equipped to do battle with most underwater hazards. Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment protects the Abyss in the event of a torpedo magazine detonation. Propeller-driven thrusters allow the Abyss to move quickly underwater with no loss of speed due to the increased density of water.
VARIANTS
The only factory variant of the Abyss, the TME-94-A, uses standard jump jets in place of the water thrusters, replaces all torpedo racks with their missile equivalents, removes the ballast equipment and replaces it with a large laser and an additional half-ton of armor.
SPECIAL RULES
The Abyss may move through the water at 1MP per hex or elevation, just like a submarine. Water thrusters are useless on dry land. Because of the Abyss's double hull construction, it does not suffer any potential of hull breach until the armor is penetrated.
