All three designs performed well in their roles, but none could provide direct fire support at range-a weakness exploited by the Hegemony&#039;s enemies. To counter this weakness, the HAF responded by seeking proposals for new designs that led to some of the most iconic and longest-servicing BattleMechs in history.&lt;ref name=XTROPv5&gt;&#039;&#039;Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 5&#039;&#039;, p. 6 &quot;ARC-1A &#039;&#039;Archer&#039;&#039; &#039;Mech Profile&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Former HAF MechWarriors, technicians, and general officers with political connections were previously recruited alongside personnel from [[Hegemony Research and Development Department, Weapons Division|Hegemony Weapons Research]] from [[New Earth]] by [[Earthwerks Incorporated]], before the request had been made, as they had already begun groundwork for the expansion into BattleMech construction. This gave Earthwerks the advantage in responding to the RFP for a &quot;heavy fire support BattleMech&quot; in late [[2449]], leading to the proposal for a new design that became the standard to judge all similar &#039;Mechs-the &#039;&#039;[[Archer]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;ref name=XTROPv5/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * The Hegemony Special Forces (HSF) included the [[Blackhearts]].&lt;ref name=BA&gt;&#039;&#039;Break-Away&#039;&#039;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> ==Bibliography==<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Break-Away]]&#039;&#039; (short story)<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 5]]&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[The Star League]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Military Organizations|Hegemony Armed Forces, Terran]]</div>
