This ground-up upgrade of the old Star League–era Mongoose
favored by ComStar is a tougher, faster, and even more effective
scout ’Mech than the original. Capable of detecting hidden
enemy units and directing friendly fire with its improved C3
gear, this ’Mech can also inflict serious damage with
its own large laser. These features made the Mongoose II a relentless
“hound” for Com Guard hunter-killer units, particularly
in the waning years of the Jihad.
