==Description==
The '''C3 slave unit''' is the second part of a [[C3 network]].  Weighing a single ton<ref name="TMp342">''TechManual'', p. 342, "Inner Sphere Heavy Weapons And Equipment Table"</ref> and carried by the members of a lance or company, when it links to a [[C3 command unit]] it can share targeting information with all of the units linked into the network. Without a C3 master unit, the C3 slave is useless.

The C3 system was introduced in [[3050]] by the [[Draconis Combine]]. It was initially an unpopular system there, as the ''[[bushido]]'' code many Combine warriors follow focuses on individual achievement rather than collective teamwork.<ref name="TMp209">''TechManual'', p. 209, "C3 Computer"</ref> It has since spread to the other [[Inner Sphere]] houses, where it has gained much support.

The Federated Suns used the C3 slave unit to create their [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] '''C3 boosted slave'''.<ref name="TOp297-298"/> This unit functions identically to the standard C3 slave unit, but is immune to most forms of ECM. The C3 boosted slave is compatible with the standard C3 networks, but weighs considerably more.
