Model 25: wording

New page

==Description==

[[Anderson Propulsion]], often simply referred to as Anderson is the OEM designer of a family of [[Jump Jets]]. Models of Anderson jump jets are produced by several manufacturers in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Anderson is a well-known and established name in jump technology.

==Standard Jump Jets==
Anderson Propulsion standard jump jet designs have been produced in a number of variants. The best known versions are listed below.

===Model 12===

The model 12 was designed for the [[Firebee|FRB-2E ''Firebee'']] and began production in [[2524]]. Though unremarkable by current standards, the Model 12 allowed the 35 ton ''Firebee'' to bound 150 meters at a time, a substantial distance in the era. Production of this design halted when the factory that produced the ''Firebee'' was destroyed in the [[First Succession War]].

===Model 21===

The second entry in the AP line of jump systems, the Model 21 was introduced during the [[Star League]] era on the ''[[Catapult]]'' and ''[[Shogun]]''. The Model 21 was subject to a Star League Quartermaster recall in 2566 due to the design being subject to a conduit failure that vented thrust gases into the 'Mech's interior spaces. The Anderson Model 25 was the designated replacement system though not all ''Catapults'' so equipped were upgraded.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 84</ref>

===Model 25===

Initially designed as a replacement for the recalled Model 21 for installation in the ''Catapult'', the Model 25 was also installed in the ''[[Osprey]]'', a niche product by [[Hollis Incorporated]] during the Star League era. Initial production of this model likely ceased in 2791 with the destruction of the ''Catapult'' production facility.<ref name=TRO3039-146/> Almost three centuries later the [[Word of Blake]] commissioned [[Skobel MechWorks]] and [[Achernar BattleMechs]] to produce the ''Osprey'' in massive numbers and this design has seen something of a renaissance. Of note however is that the Achernar complex was destroyed in battle with [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]]. Additionally, Hollis Incorporated, the original designer of the ''Osprey'', has retooled a (presumably rebuilt) ''Catapult'' line to produce the OSP-15E. It seems that what was old is new again.

===Model 30===

Originally seen on the [[Vindicator|VND-1R ''Vindicator'']] in 2826 the Model 30 has been an unremarkable but cost effective exclusive product of Ceres Metals since then. Like almost all Ceres components for the ''Vindicator'', the Model 30 is directly produced on site and is suitable to be manufactured in massive quantities. Even so, probably due to Ceres' practice of putting an outrageous markup on components sold outside of the Capellan Confederation, the Model 30 for a long time did not see use outside of Ceres' own product line. The [[Snake|SNK-1V ''Snake'']], being a direct conversion of the ''Vindicator'' chassis, also sports the Model 30. The Model 30 was also the well tested and easily available component turned to by [[Vicore Industries]] for their redesign of the classic ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]''. Talks with Ceres to propose the production of the ''Phoenix Hawk'' on a BJ-2 ''Blackjack'' line began only after [[General Motors]] initiated contact on behalf of Vicore. Even then the [[Phoenix Hawk#Variants|PXH-4L ''Phoenix Hawk'']] and [[Phoenix Hawk#Variants|PXH-5L ''Phoenix Hawk'']] and the Model 30s used in them are produced in a Ceres facility and are marketed as a Ceres product, notwithstanding the initial design and proposal for those 'Mechs coming from Vicore.

===Model 398===

Dating back to the [[2499]] introduction of the ''[[Guillotine]]'' by [[Newhart Industries]] the Model 398's design was nearly lost with the destruction of the Newhart factory on Terra in [[2776]], surviving thanks to a licensing agreement for the 'Mech held by [[Irian BattleMechs Unlimited]]. The Model 398 also shows up in the [[Penetrator|PTR-4D ''Penetrator'']] by [[Kallon Industries]] but the link between Kallon and the use of the 398 by either Irian or Newhart is unclear.
