Construction of the Warhammer battlemech, which was designed primarily as an assault 'mech, began in 2515 and continued up until after the fall of the Star League. The origional requsition by General Sternson to StarCorp Industries called for "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severly damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower". StarCorp's answer was the Warhammer. There were several different production runs of the mech, including the Class 6D and the Class 6K. In the current era, several modified versions have also been developed within the successor States well thats the description of the model its kinda youre average mecha thingie but this is from battletech any resemblance to macross mecha are unfortunate and unintentional ( ;P to macross )
