Line 21: The '''''Basilisk''''' ProtoMech was designed and built by [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] to support their [[Elemental]] and [[OmniMech]] forces. Unlike most second generation Protos, the ''Basilisk'' has a relatively low top speed. This allows it to keep pace with larger 'Mechs and move faster than standard battle armor units. The smaller engine also allows more weight for armor, which is good because the slow top speed means a ''Basilisk'' will spend more time under enemy guns as it closes the range.<ref name=TRO3075-160>''Technical Readout: 3075, p. 160''</ref> The '''''Basilisk''''' ProtoMech was designed and built by [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] to support their [[Elemental]] and [[OmniMech]] forces.
