==Overview:==
The Sheridan was produced to combat the  resurgence in the production of
armored vehicles and proliferation of battle armor and conventional infantry.
Not ment for frontline combat, the Sheridan uses a large arsenal of  ammo
dependent weaponary to combat non-battlemech forces.

==Capabilities:==
The primary weapon of the Sheridan is a LB5-X, capable of shooting either
solid slugs or cluster rounds capable of striking and damaging a vehicles
fragile motive system. Backing up the autocannon is a pair of MML-3 launchers,
supplied with 3 tons of ammo allowing the flexiblity of using alternate types
of ammuntion such as flechette against unarmored infantry or inferno or smoke
arounds should the Sheridan be deployed in a supporting role. A mech motar/2
mounted high on the left shoulder allows the flexiblity of long range indirect
fire to soften up an enemy position or lob flares to provide illumination
during a night time operation.  A TAG unit allows the Sheridan to rain down
artillary on the soften up enemy.

The Sheridan is also very well equipped against infantry with a duo of LMGs in
the center torso and a Flamer mounted on the right arm. A pair of
anti-personal pods mounted just below the knees discourge surviving infantry
from attempting to swarm the Sheridan. Finally, a single medium pulse laser
rounds out the armament, giving the mech something to fall back on should it
start to run low on ammo.

Twelve and ahalf tons of armor provide more then ample protection from all but
the most heavy vehicle. Due to the low heat potentional, only 10 single
heatsinks are equipped to handle heat buildup, while triple strength myomer is
equpped to allow the pilot to take advantage of extra heat build up.

==Variants:==
Due to the logistical nightmare of keeping a myrid supply of different ammo
types for the Sheridan, some mechwarriors have taken it upon themselves to
modify their mech. The LB-5X and mech motar/2 are removed and replaced with a
standard PPC. The two MML-3s are exchaged for three MML-5s. A second medium
pulse laser is isntalled on the right arm. The heatsinks are upgraded to
double strength. The pilots of these few machines rave about the modification,
as it allows them the capability to combat enemy battlemechs.
