Editing UrbanMech (section)

==Overview==
The UrbanMech was originally produced by Orguss Industries for the Star League Defence Force. Later, UrbanMech production was overtaken by Hellespont Industrials, mainly produced for Capellan Confederation. The primary role of the UrbanMech, as mentioned above (as well as within its name), is to fight within urban confines, where larger 'mechs and combat vehicles are inferior to infantry fireteams and light AFVs (Armored Fighting Vehicles). Its small size (around 10-11 meters), small silhouette, and ability to travel small distances using jump jets makes it a formidable and difficult-to-engage enemy in its designated environment.

But keep in mind, it is ''only'' dangerous inside it's designated environment. Outside of it, the UrbanMech's weaknesses are fairly glaring; it is considered (rightfully) the slowest BattleMech in existence: its top speed is 32.4 km/h, meaning that it's slower than the 100-ton behemoths (the lower speed range of Assault Class BattleMech is 55 km/h), and its armament, while formidable, can only stand what is effectively two minutes or so of actual combat before it runs out of ammo and has to rely on its flashlight to do any damage. This means that humpty-dumpty had better have a wall to fall off (or rather, to hide behind), to stand a chance, even against 'mechs of its own weight class.

That said, crunch-wise the typical light and even some of the lighter end mediums mechs don't have the armor levels needed to take hits from it's AC-10 that aren't in the Center Torso (and frequently can only take such a hit once if they can) and a head hit from the AC-10 forces a potential check to see if the dude in the other mech becomes a pile of hamburger splattered against their cockpit interior so even 100 ton enemies have to be leery against a well played Urbie ambush with that threat in mind because all it takes is one good dice roll from the urbie to ruin your day.

Also, the UrbanMech is one of the few 'mechs reintroduced by Wolf's Dragoons to the Inner Sphere during their "infiltration" mission (alongside the Flea, the Hoplite, and a few other designs that were considered rare or extinct in the Inner Sphere). The showcasing of the proper use of UrbanMechs gave a new lease on life to the previously forgotten and damned design.
