Overview:
Overeview:

The Horsearcher was born in 3029. as the 4th sucession
war raged, the Free Worlds League sent out a specs for a
battlemech that could operate for extended amounts of
time in FedCom territory. the contract was won by the
DSCA, a small company with a reputation for lightweight
mechs. the Companys marik plants would produce the
Horsearcher, as these plants where massive Vehicle
Factorys that produced mechs, Aerospace, and other
vehicles. both are on Kendall.

Deployment:

the Horsearcher is used by House Marik only, and is
deployed in large numbers on the FWL/CapCon border. it
is also deployed in small numbers in the center of Free
Worlds League territory.

Known Varients:

there are 2 varients, the HRA-2X that adapts the 'mech to
long range combat by replacing the Large Laser with an
LRM-5 and 3 tons of ammo, and the HRA-3C, a varient
that optimizise the 'mech for heavy short range combat by
replaceing the Small Lasers witha SRM-2 and 1 ton of
inferno ammo.

Comstar Update, 3058:

In 3056, the DSCA shocked the Inner Sphere when it
signed a deal with the Lyran Alliance to sell them
Horsearchers. the designs used today however are
differnt then there predacures, mainly by speed or
weapons, nothing like total redisigns, such as the new
revisions of classic 'mechs like the Rifleman.
