==Description==
 
==Description==
A [[Solaris VII]] [[BattleMech]], the '''''Hachiwara''''' was commissioned by the [[Silver Dragon Stables]] and designed by the Crosby BattleMech Research firm responsible for the creation of the ''[[No-Dachi]]''. Using the ''No-Dachi'' as their inspiration, the Crosby engineers designed a 'Mech optimized for arena combat. The already high speed was increased by using a [[Supercharger]], allowing the ''Hachiwara'' pilot to get in close to an opponent quickly. Twelve tons of armor protects the 'Mech. Unlike its progenitor design, the ''Hachiwara'' does not use [[Triple Strength Myomer]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 162</ref> This allows the pilot to focus on the fight, rather than managing heat levels.

A [[Solaris VII]] [[BattleMech]].
 
 
Harkening back to the ''samurai'' ideal, the ''Hachiwara'' uses a Vibroblade in place of the ''No-Dachi'''s [[Sword (weapon)|Sword]].
 
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The ''Hachiwara'''s main armament is its experimental Mithril Wyrm [[Vibroblade]]. This is backed up by an [[Ultra AC/10|Mydron Excel Ultra Type 10 Autocannon]], as well as two [[ER medium laser|Brightblood ER medium laser]]s for medium-long range attacks and four [[M-Pod|ES-MRT "Boomstick II" M-Pods]] for additional close-range power.

==Variants==
*;HCA-4T : This variant uses an [[Extralight Gyro]]scope and uses the tonnage freed up to upgrade its [[CASE]] to [[CASE II]] as well as adding [[Spike]]s to the 'Mech's torso. BV (2.0) = 1,691<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 264</ref>

* One variant uses an [[Extralight Gyro]]scope and uses the tonnage freed up to upgrade its [[CASE]] to [[CASE II]] as well as adding [[Spike]]s to the 'Mech's torso.
  
*;HCA-4U : A second variant also uses an [[Extralight Gyro]]scope and replaces the [[Autocannon/10]] with an [[Ultra Autocannon/20]]. BV (2.0) = 1,731<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 265</ref>
+
* A second variant also uses an [[Extralight Gyro]]scope and replaces the [[Autocannon/10]] with an [[Autocannon/20]].
  
*; HCA-6P : The third variant, which is currently only on paper, replaces the [[Supercharger]] with [[Triple Strength Myomer]], replaces the standard armor with [[Hardened Armor]], and replaces the entire weapons loadout with a [[PPC]] with [[PPC Capacitor|Capacitor]], five [[medium laser]]s, [[Spike]]s across the torso, and a [[Lance (weapon)|Lance]] in the right arm.
