Banshee

The Banshee, introduced in 2445 by the Terran Hegemony, is a BattleMech designed specifically for close-assault operations during the early years of BattleMech warfare. As a contemporary of the Mackie and Emperor, the Banshee is undeniably fast for one of the heaviest 'Mechs ever produced, offering impressive maneuverability on the battlefield. With fifteen tons of armor, it is better protected than most other assault 'Mechs, making it a formidable presence in any engagement.
