Baboon Lance

The Baboons are a “utility” lance. Composed of heavy and medium mechs with a walking speed of at lest 50 kph and a variety of weapon loadouts, they can act in a variety of roles. Given that their long-range impact is not great, their preferred role is to close with the enemy and wreak havoc by jumping around and letting loose with short range salvos. The baboons have racked up a significant number of kills with this technique, but they have also been the Monkey unit “in the crosshairs” the most, as it were, contributing to a hefty amount of equipment loss and costly damage.

The Baboons have been re-organized considerably as the Monkeys have expanded, but Lt. Ishmael “Playboy” Mohammed has remained the commanding officer throughout. Cooper Jackson has also been a member of the Baboons from the beginning.
