Massive technological advances (for the era) made it possible to deploy relatively inexpensive fusion-based power supply systems small enough for vehicular use in the early twenty-first century. Naturally, one of the first applications of this technology appeared in military vehicles and aircraft. In the millennium since that time, combat fusion engines have only grown smaller, more efficient, cleaner and more powerful enabling the practical development of the BattleMech as the titan of war it has become. Still by no means cheap to the average consumer, battlefield-rated fusion engines are manufactured across the Inner Sphere today by a relatively small number of producers. They range in mass from the half-ton (and incredibly rare) Omni-10 power plant to the truly massive (and rarely used) LTV-400, which tips the scales at 52.5 tons.
