On its own merits though, the Marauder was a devastatingly powerful 'Mech, outclassed only by larger machines like the Stalker and BattleMaster.
During the years of the Star League the Marauder was a favorite in the Gunslinger Program thanks to its tremendous firepower, while its advanced electronics endeared it to many battalion and regimental commanders. On the hellish battlefields of the Succession Wars , massed formations of Marauders proved devastating as shock units in breaking through enemy lines.
However, the rarity of these 'Mechs House Liao only fielded several hundred Marauders total in often meant they had to be paired with other, similar 'Mechs such as the Warhammer and Thunderbolt. When the Helm Memory Core was recovered, the Marauder was an obvious candidate for lostech upgrades.
