Overview:
Clan Snow Raven, after loosing a cache of battlemechs to 
Clan Hell's Horse's elementals, designed and 
manufactured the Veloceraptor.  Designed for 
anti-elemental combat, the Veloceraptor remains a 
formidable all purpose mech.

Capabilities:
The Veloceraptor has two main variants one designed for 
close range combat and the other for long range combat.  
Both variants remain moderately ammo dependant.  The 
Snow Raven's fondness for aerospace technology is 
obvious, as all variants come with state of the art jump 
jets.  What makes this mech so unusual and what gives it 
its name are the dual large ER lasers on the legs of the 
mech.  Used in both variants the large ER lasers are 
placed on the legs inside specialized weapon pods with 
independently moving actuators for stability.  The 
placement of the lasers provide better targeting against 
elementals. The Veloceraptors speed and jump jet 
maneuverability allow it to stay out of harms way in the 
face of overwhelming elemental attacks, while the mech's 
8 machine guns can deal serious damage when forced 
into close range combat.  The Primary variant carries twin 
Streak SRM 6 launchers which augment the close range 
firepower of its 8 machine guns, while the Alt A variant 
sports twin LRM 15 launchers in place of the Streak SRM 
6's.  While not much separates the two variants, given the 
Snow Raven's immense aerospace budget the production 
of such an advanced mech proves the intellect of their 
scientist caste.

Deployment:
While this mech has yet to seen action in the inner sphere 
there have been rumors of these mechs being used in real 
combat in clan space.
