==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Cossack''''' is named after the [[mercenary unit]] [[Khorsakov's Cossacks]] in honor of their faithful service to the [[St. Ives Compact]]. The ''Cossack'' is a practice in compromise, originally requested as the fastest 'Mech that [[Ceres Metals Industries]] could produce, the emphasis of the design changed throughout its development to a slow moving, heavily armored [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech. The final design that was accepted became the current incarnation of the ''Cossack'', built on a weight saving [[Taijian Series X]] [[endo steel]] chassis, and mounting a lightweight [[Hermes 120]] [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 97.2 km/h. Six [[Pitban LFT-65]] [[jump jet]]s allow the ''Cossack'' to jump up to 180 meters, allowing the 'Mech to easily handle the roughest terrain. For protection, the ''Cossack'' has three tons of armor and has 10 [[single heat sink]]s to handle the heat produced by the weapons payload carried by the 'Mech. Overall, the compromises that created the ''Cossack'' turned it into a light trooper 'Mech that works well as part of a team, but alone excels at no one role.<ref name=TRO:3060p72-73/>

Originally requested as the fastest 'Mech that [[Ceres Metals Industries]] could produce, the emphasis of the design changed throughout its development to a slow moving, heavily armored light 'Mech. The final design that was accepted became the current incarnation of the ''Cossack''. The ''Cossack'' is built on a Taijian Series X [[Endo Steel]] chassis to save weight. More weight was cut from the design by using a lightweight Hermes 120 [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 97.2 km/h. Six Pitban LFT-65 jump jets allow the ''Cossack'' to jump up to hundred and eighty meters, allowing the 'Mech to easily handle most rough terrain. For protection, the ''Cossack'' has three tons of armor and has ten [[heat sink]]s to handle the heat produced by the weapons payload carried by the 'Mech. Overall, the compromise that created the ''Cossack'' has turned it into a light trooper 'Mech that works well as part of a team but alone excels at no one role.<ref name=TRO:3060p72-73/>
  
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
The primary weapons on the ''Cossack'' are a [[Kajuka Type 2 "Bright Blossom"]] [[medium laser]] and a [[MilDouglas "Duke"]] [[SRM-6]]. These are backed up by a pair of [[Small_Laser#Jackson_Model_12|Jackson Model 12]] [[small laser]]s. While this is not an impressive arsenal, the ''Cossack'' is capable of defending itself from most light 'Mechs and vehicles.<ref name=TRO:3060p72-73/>

*; C-1FC : The C-1FC variant first appeared during the [[Jihad]], where it was given minor [[Technology Rating|advanced technology]] upgrades to its arsenal. The 'Mech's armor was switched from [[standard armor]] to [[light ferro-fibrous]], which allowed for an increase in protection of the 'Mech's vitals. All weapons were removed in favor of three [[RL-10]]s, spread across the ''Cossack''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s torso sections. The only energy weapon available, a [[medium variable speed pulse laser]], is mounted in the left arm.
