==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Araña''''' is a medium [[Quad 'Mech|Quad]] [[MilitiaMech]], which is designed to serve as a planetary militia '[[Mech]] for the newly formed [[Escorpión Imperio]] in the [[Deep Periphery]]. Designed by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]], it was created in order to allow the former [[Nueva Castile]] citizenry to serve alongside the [[Clans|Clan's]] dwindling ''[[touman]]''.

Clan Goliath Scorpion funded [[Quixote Industries]] on the world of [[Navarre]] and furnished the Clan technology to produce the 'Mech, which began in [[3087]]. The design was created to partner with the smaller ''[[Reptar]]'' MilitiaMech but, unlike its partner, the ''Araña'' was designed to provide fire-support to the sniper-like ''Reptar'' and as a deterrent against enemy scouts using its Clan weaponry.<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 '', pp. 108–110: Araña - Background</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Built on an IndustrialMech frame, the ''Araña'' is fitted with nine and a half tons of [[heavy industrial armor]], allowing it to survive the rigors of combat. Its quadruped leg configuration also gives it considerable stability as it traverses rough terrain and added stability for green [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]].

Built on an IndustrialMech frame, the ''Araña'' is fitted with nine-and-a-half tons of heavy industrial-grade armor, allowing it to survive the rigors of combat. Its quadruped leg configuration also gives it considerable stability as it traverses rough terrain and added stability for green [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]].
  
The 'Mech is powered by a 200-rated [[fusion engine]], giving the ''Araña'' sufficient mobility for it to keep up with its partner, the ''Reptar''. The inclusion of a fusion engine provides ample energy to power the 'Mech's main weaponry, three Clan [[ER medium laser]]s mounted on a [[BattleMech turret]] in the right torso. These Clan-grade lasers allows the 'Mech to pack a considerable amount firepower in an area of space known for its low technology, while an [[advanced fire control]] is fitted to the design to allow it be able to target with military precision. The use of 15 [[single heat sink]]s keep the heat from these weapons under control.<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 '', pp. 108–110, 117: Araña - Stats</ref>
