==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Reptar''''' is a light [[MilitiaMech]], designed to serve as a planetary militia '[[Mech]] for the newly formed [[Escorpión Imperio]] in the [[Deep Periphery]]. It was created by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] scientists to allow the natives of the [[Nueva Castile]] to join the ranks of the [[Clan]] and bolster the Imperio's defenses.

Produced at Quixote Industries on [[Navarre]], the ''Reptar'' serves as an intermediary design until the Clan's production facilities can be established. The 'Mech was designed to be partnered with the ''[[Araña]]'' Quad MilitiaMech as part of the Imperio's garrison forces and was intended only to enter combat if all else fails, as it is usually assigned to protect command and forward observation posts.<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 '', pp. 108–109, 116: Reptar - Background</ref>

Designed purely as a garrison 'Mech, the ''Reptar'' can reach a modest top speed of 86 km/h thanks to its [[Fuel-EX 175]] series [[fuel cell]] power plant. The 'Mech's hull is protected by five tons of civilian [[Industry-Z Heavy]] [[heavy industrial armor]], which would allow it to survive combat against lightly armed Deep Periphery military forces.

The ''Reptar''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weapons are leftovers from the Clan's [[ProtoMech]] production program. Its main weapon is a [[ProtoMech AC/8]] found in the 'Mech's right arm actuator, supplied with two tons of ammunition. Its anti-[[infantry]] weaponry includes a pair of Clan [[light machine gun]]s, one mounted in each of its side torsos, supplied with only half a ton of ammunition.<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3 '', pp. 108–109, 116: Reptar - Stats</ref>
