Gulon - Mining and Security Mech

 



Gulon - Mining and Security Mech


Seen for the first time in the Technical Readout: Irregulars (Catalyst, 2021), the Gulon MiningMech is  an IndustrialMech produced by Alliance Motors Limited since 3020. 

Its most peculiar characteristic is the use of Fission Engines which are very dangerous in case of explosion causing radioactive contamination but allow for several years of endurance without refueling and can operate where ICEs cannot due to an inadequate or even absent 
atmosphere.

This is not mentioned in the above source but the engines are most probably supplied from Valasha, the only world in OA still capable to produce Fission Engines. 

The original Gulon is presented in two versions: one for mining (Mining Drill, Liquid Sprayer and 3 small lasers) and a second that removes the liquid sprayer and adds a Medium Laser. Clearly breaching the existing agreements for armed IndustrialMechs existing by 3025 both models offers an interesting option for mining "entrepreneurs" that may face issues with small groups of pirates in desolated words poorly defended within the Outworlds Alliance.

None of the canon versions includes Environmental Sealing and opt for expensive Heavy Industrial Armor (
Gulon MiningMech), but here we have some other variants, one better suited for adverse environments with Environmental Sealing, a second with more conventional ICEs and a third for planetary security also without the dangerous Fission Engine.

These versions are all equipped with Commercial armor (BAR 5) which is cheaper, lighter and works fine for low armor values.
