Panther C/IIC

Desperate for any Mech's to use following the disastrous losses at Luthien and Tukayyid, Clan Smoke Jaguar and Clan Nova Cat took an unusual step of reconditioning salvaged Inner Sphere Mechs. As their shared OZ was in the Draconis Combine, one of the most common Mechs salvaged was the Panther and there was enough wrecked Mechs to rebuild them quickly.

The Smoke Jaguar's was the crudest, replacing the PPC and SRM-4 with an ER Large Laser and a SRM-6 and adding standard heatsiinks from captured stockpiles for a 'quick and dirty' solution to get Mechs as quickly as they could. Clan Nova Cat's conversion was more extensive, using the same weapons, they instead scoured mechs like the rather common Firestarter of their engines and installed those instead, using captured Inner Sphere double heatsinks for cooling.

Whilst far from popular with the Warriors who were assigned them, a Mech was still a Mech and during raids into Smoke Jaguar or Nova Cat territory these recondiitioned machines proved to be an unexpected and nasty surprise for Mercenary or House forces raiding over the border.
