Turtles

 o/

A slow (moving) death awaits...

While there are a multitude of official house and Merc units with flat green paint schemes, most all of them are accented in one color or another, white, red, etc.. Whereas, while just being green, these are generic enough to be used by most anybody in the Inner Sphere, much like my desert lance

Lacking any official identity, It's easy enough to just say that they're a small conventional mercenary lance that go by the name of Turtles, under the leadership of Captain Joanna Whitmire.

Yes, that Joanna Whitmire...

These heavily armed and armored monsters are normally employed by isolated settlements, city states, mining and/or industrial concerns that want their own protection from raiders. Clearly incapable of any sort of rapid response, they tend to stick close to what their clients want protected most, and await any would-be attackers to come to them. 

Very few light raiding and pirate forces are going to want to deal with 375 tons of assault class conventional armor that is bristling with a multitude of weapons. This intimidation factor alone has both kept the Turtles steadily employed and their clients happy throughout the late Succession Wars era.

  1. 4 of them and calling them Turtles ... I was looking for a small dash of red, orange, blue, and purple with one color per tank ....
