Designer Notes
The peaks and rugged hills of the Northern hemisphere have led to a tradition of mountaineering Gears in the Northern military, but very few designs have been rugged and simple enough to stand the test of time. During the War of the Alliance, the Southern Desert Viper was chosen as the Terranovans' standard mountain fighting Gear. This was an embarrassment to the Northern military, which realized that a better homegrown Gear was needed to defend the peaks and forests of the North. Relying on the technical edge provided by the Jaguar, CNCS high command commissioned a new mountaineering Gear to be developed based on its chassis. The result was the Mountain Jaguar, a Jaguar with legs reinforced by thick climbing claws and off-road hydraulics. Bolt-on leg and arm spikes completed the Gear's mountaineering equipment. This new leg assembly did introduce some drawbacks, such as the loss of the secondary movement system and airdrop capabilities. Since these functions are not usually necessary in mountain conditions it seemed a fair trade-off, but the Mountain Jaguar's lack of speed on open ground can at times be crippling. The armament of the Mountain was updated by replacin gthe Pepperbox II rocket pod with the more powerful GH-16 model featured on the Fire Jaguar. This gave additional close-range firepower to the Mountain and provided it with the ability to create makeshift rock-slides if necessary.
