The Highlander is an older Assault Mech equipped, surprisingly, with jump
jets. For decades many Inner Sphere Houses have used the highlander as the
backbone of countless mobile assaults. Though slow moving, its jump jets can
carry it over almost any obstacle.
Mobility and diverse weaponry give the Highlander an advantage in many
battle scenarios, from urban to barren. Jump jets permit quick tactical
adjustments against forces stronger in number, and the prospect of a
combined laser and short-range missile barrage from one heavily armored Mech
quickly complicated enemy strategy.
The Highlander's Gauss Rifle can seriously attenuate sentry or
reconnaissance forces before the Mech enters the fray in earnest. The
Highlander even handles harassing short-range unit capably with the Machine
Gun Array. Few Mech perform so effectively on so many different
battlefields.
