The Vasudan variant of the GTW Subach HL-7, the Mekhu is a slightly superior weapon. It boasts a higher rate of fire, better range, and a fraction more damage. Like the Subach, the Mekhu HL-7 consumes very little power and gives an acceptable level of damage, making it a viable choice throughout your tour of duty. The Mekhu HL-7 can only be mounted on Vasudan fighters and bombers.

Tech Room Data

The Mekhu HL-7 is the Vasudan re-engineered variant of the Subach HL-7 xaser. Modifications made to the design by engineers at Mekhu give it a higher firing rate and longer range than the original Terran version. These improvements come at the cost of a slight decrease in power output. This trade-off fits well with Vasudan military tactics, but most Terran pilots prefer the performance of the original weapon.
