I've been having a bit of fun writing my own stories of late, in my own universe. I recently thought it might be fun to translate some of my stuff into BattleTech stats. Make no mistake. These designs are not BattleTech. I retain all copyrights to the fluff, art, and all that jazz. The BattleTech stats that represent them can be made by anybody, and are not owned by me or anyone. I just thought the idea of translating them over to see how they would look would be fun.
First up is the F-12 Avenger. In 2304, the Republic of Texas was working on a new class of fighter, a proof of concept hypercapable fighter. It would prove to be the first hypercapable fighter built on Earth, and became the primary fighter of the Republic's Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112, the Cowboys, when The War claimed us.
Below is the Avenger at my deviantart page. This treatment of the Avenger was built by the amazing Stephen Huda. I've included links to the line art, a color version, and the version used on the cover of my book. The last two may look similar.

The F-12A was the original prototype design that fought in Cowboy hands through the Battle of Fort Wichita. It only saw limited production in the first couple years of The War, and was soon replaced by the F-12B.

After proving the concept of the F-12A to the Peloran, they quickly upgraded all Cowboy Avengers to the F-12B standard, using their technology as a base. They also sent technical support to Republic factories, giving them the ability to build F-12Bs of their own. The F-12B would be the primary Earth-based Avengers for the first five years of The War, until the factories were upgraded again to build the F-12C. The Cowboys would use the F-12B throughout the first Alpha Centauri campaign, destroying many Shang, Roderan, Chinese, and Russian fighters and warships in the process.

The F-12C was a complete rebuild of the Avenger, performed by the Peloran battleship, Guardian Light. He stripped the Avengers to their hull struts, and replaced every system with Peloran technology. The result was the most powerful fighter put into space during The War. First used only by the Cowboys, the F-12C fought in the later Alpha Centauri campaigns, and through The War until the final Pleiades Cluster campaigns. It was retired from Naval service soon after The War, though the Cowboys maintained their fighters. Now flown only by private collectors and the Cowboys, the Avenger is a monument to the ingenuity of mankind, and the willingness of our Peloran allies to aid the Western Alliance in our times of trouble.
