Description
Initially designed as a MiningMech, the Gulon is a SecurityMech common throughout Outworlds Alliance/Raven Alliance territory. The original MiningMech was one of Alliance Motors Limited's first products, an unusually unique MiningMech design. Easily adapted to combat, it found a niche as a garrison for many communities and backwater planets, even into the Raven Alliance era.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
The Gulon stands out for its fission engine, built in cooperation with a Sevon-based nuclear power plant; it is noted for being difficult to maintain and dangerous. In addition to a MiningMech-standard three small lasers originally meant to cut stone, the SecurityMech carries a medium laser, all aided by advanced fire control. The SecurityMech keeps the original mining drill, and is protected by the original heavy industrial armor.[2]
Variants
- GLN-1A MiningMech
- The original Gulon carries a sprayer rather than a medium laser, and lacks the advanced fire control. BV (2.0) = 352.[2][3]
- Gulon C SolahmaMech
- When Alliance Defenders Limited produced a surplus of fusion engines for the Stinger IIC 2, several were rerouted to Gulons, powering an upgraded version bearing Clan small pulse lasers and medium pulse lasers. BV (2.0) = 533[2][4]
