Overview: | |||
- | |||
The 80-ton Jengiz is one of the heaviest and fiercest fighters fielded by the Clans. Developed in 3032 by Clan Ghost Bear, it has only been in active service for the last 15 years, but has stirred up considerable interest among the other Clans. Only Clan Wolf has succeeded in the Trials of Possession needed to secure the designs, however. The other Clans that use the Jengiz have captured them from either the Wolf Clan or the Ghost Bears. | |||

Capabilities: | |||
- | |||
Because of its relatively poor maneuverability, the Jengiz has limited use in
atmosphere, and is deployed mainly in near-space defense. In some cases its
performance is worse than Inner Sphere fighters of similar mass, but pilots
should be wary of misjudging the fighter, as it is heavily armored, dissipates
heat easily, and has more than 50 percent of its body-weight devoted to
offensive systems. The primary Jengiz carries a formidable array of weaponry. An LB 10-X, ER PPC, medium pulse laser, and machine gun are all crammed into the nose, while each wing mounts a large and medium pulse laser and an SRM6. Firing into the aft arc is a rear-wing medium pulse laser, and an ECM suite interferes with the effects of advanced fire-control computers. The A variant is the only one generally involved in ground attacks. The twin ER PPCs in the nose, and the twin large pulse lasers under each wing give it superb strafing ability, and the addition of double heat sinks allows repeated attack runs. An ER small laser fires aft to discourage tailing. The rare Jengiz B is configured to engage targets at long range. It carries a Gauss cannon in the nose, and has an ER PPC and LRM-20 (with Artemis FCS) under each wing. Two forward-firing ER medium-lasers are mounted in the nose to boost close-in firepower, and the rear of the fighter is equipped with a machine gun. Although the Gauss cannon carries sufficient ammunition for prolonged operations, the LRM-20 ammunition is severely limited. Running out of ammunition, Jengiz pilots often jettison the LRM pods part way through a battle, improving the fighter's maneuverability slightly. The C variant of the Jengiz is one of the most unusual configurations fielded by the Clans. Based on a philosophy different from most fighters, the C variant is believed to have evolved from the few Jengiz used by Clan Goliath Scorpion. An LB 20-X series autocannon is mounted under each wing, and a triple mount of Streak SRM-6 launchers are mounted in the nose. This version also carries an aft firing Streak SRM-4. If the Jengiz C has a disadvantage, it is the short range of its weapons. For that reason, the C is usually paired with another variant with longer-range capabilities. |

Deployment: | |||
- | |||
The Jengiz is common in Clans Wolf and Ghost Bear, but is rare among the other invading Clans . Over the last 2O years, the relatively new Jengiz has been replacing the venerable Kirghiz as the main super-heavy fighter in a number of the Clans, and may completely replace the heavier, but less efficient design in the next decade. | |||
