View source for Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry

== Description ==
Introduced in [[2740]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]], the '''Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry''' (MASC) is a piece of equipment that allows a BattleMech to move at twice its walking speed. However, actuators were not built for this kind of stress, and prolonged usage of MASC systems can damage the leg actuators of a BattleMech. Although this is unlikely to immobilize the BattleMech, the danger of destroyed actuators is enough for cautious warriors to limit their use in battle.<ref name="TMp232">''TechManual'', p. 232, "Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry (MASC)"</ref>

MASC was one of the many pieces of [[Star League]] technology that became [[LosTech]] in the [[Inner Sphere]] during the [[First Succession War]], becoming extinct in [[2795]].<ref name=SSWp102>''Second Succession War'', p. 102, "Rules Annex - Weapons and Equipment Extinction Table"</ref>

The Capellan Confederation would revive the technology to reintroduce MASC in 3035.

Meanwhile like many examples of former Terran Hegemony and SLDF tech the [[Clans]] never lost it and would refine the tech into a version taking up less space and weight vs the inner sphere grade original.
