History
Ever since the Mirage scout mech chassis proved incapable of supporting its once-potent arsenal of weapons without randomly detonating its fusion core, forcing the outright removal of its main gun and jump jet without any replacement weapon whatsoever, Pinto Engineering has been experimenting with new weapons and chassis reinforcements with the hope of producing a viable extended use cloaking gunboat. The result of these experiments is the new Nanus, which brings six prototype Tempest Rifles to bear on its unsuspecting opponents. While these weapons deal only moderate damage individually, they boast a rapid cooldown cycle time and are solely powered by the Nanus's micro-XL engine, allowing for long-range deployment away from friendly supply lines. The well-executed omni mounts on the Tempest rifles have already tempted some pilots of heavier mechs to bully their techs into cannibalizing the Nanus's guns to use on their "more dependable and tested" chassis.
