Description
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.[2]
Armament
The Basilisk mounts a 'Mech sized ER Medium Laser. This powerful weapon makes a Point of Basilisks a threat that cannot be ignored. Paired with the laser is a three tube LRM launcher used to soften up targets as the Basilisk unit closes. The only problem with this is the severely limited ammunition supply. With only a pair of reloads for the LRM launcher, a Basilisk pilot can find himself at the mercy of enemies with long-range weapons.[2]
Variants
- Basilisk 2 - The only known variant of the Basilisk removes the standard weapons mix and replaces them with a Small Laser, two Micro Lasers, a Short Range Missile launcher, and jump jets. This allows the Basilisk 2 to get into close combat much more quickly.[2]
