==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Danai Support Vehicle''' is a [[combat vehicle]] produced by the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] on [[Detroit]] with substantial help from the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The vehicle is named for [[Danai Centrella]], the eldest daughter and heir apparent of Magestrix [[Emma Centrella]]. Danai was killed fighting the [[Clans]] on [[Strana Mechty]] and the design team felt that naming a vehicle after her would be a fitting tribute to the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]. After years of design work, the first Danais rolled off the production line in [[3073]].<ref name=TRO3075/>

The vehicle is somewhat mobile for an [[artillery]] piece at 86 km/h. As its mission calls for it to be far from the actual battlefield, six and a half tons of standard armor is generally sufficient.<ref name=TRO3075/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
 
The main weapon on the Danai, and the reason for its existence, is a [[Bithinian Ballistics]] [[Thumper Artillery Piece|Thumper]] artillery piece. This allows the Danai to stay well away from the field of battle and lob shells into it. In case the vehicle's position is overrun and it find itself being attacked, it can utilize two Firmir Improved [[ER Medium Laser]]s. They are mounted in a turret, giving them the widest arc possible.<ref name=TRO3075/>

==Variants==
 
==Variants==
*;Arrow : This version of the Danai replaces the standard weaponry and armor with some [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] versions. The main armament has been removed and replaced with an [[Arrow IV]] missile system. The ER Medium Lasers in the turret were replaced with four [[Magshot]]s and a ton of ammunition. One ton of Arrow ammunition is also carried. The [[Guardian ECM Suite]] installed in the hull is used to activate the [[Vehicular Stealth Armor]] that protects the tank.
