The
Toyama was designed and built for the Word of Blake following their
exodus to Gibson. Unlike many other new Word of Blake 'Mechs, the Toyama
was designed by an outsider Dr. Thaddeus Anable, a military technology
consultant with the Free Worlds League's Heliopolis design labs. As
part of an arrangement with Captain-General Thomas Marik, Anable passed
the design to the Word of Blake, who put it into production in early
3057. Designed as a multi-purpose 'Mech, the Toyama can engage in extended
operations without resupply. Its main weapons are a pair of Diverse
Optics Sunbeam extended-range large lasers mounted in the right arm.
A Doombud LRM-20 in the torso and an Imperator Code Red autocannon in
the left arm provide additional firepower in short engagements. With
storage capacity for two full tons of autocannon ammunition, the Toyama
can carry a mix of rounds, allowing the pilot to tailor the Mech's
loadout to his own preference or mission requirements. A cluster of
lasers in the 'Mechs torso provides additional firepower, though
their effective range is less than 300 meters and their tracking capabilities
are limited. The Toyama also carries a state-of-the-art defense measure
in the right torso: the Guardian ECM system, which limits the effectiveness
of advanced targeting and tracking systems used in close proximity to
the 'Mech. The original design called for an anti-missile system to
be installed alongside the ECM system, but space considerations ultimately
caused the designers to omit the anti-missile system in favor of a larger
LRM launcher. To date, the Toyama has been deployed only with the Word
of Blake Militia.
