The '''''Sentry''''' was developed under pressure from the [[Draconis March|Draconis]] and [[Capellan March|Capellan]] marches for a more advanced 'Mech to defend the borders of the [[Federated Suns]]. The 'Mech is built on a light weight Dorwinion hyperactive 3 [[Endo Steel]] chassis. This chassis saves weight, allowing the 'Mech to carry heavier weapons and equipment. The ''Sentry'' is powered by a Nissan 200 [[fusion engine]] that gives it a top speed of 86.4 km/h that is augmented by five HildCo Model 12 [[jump jet]]s that make it possible for the ''Sentry'' to jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. To compensate for its average mobility, the ''Sentry'' has an impressive eight and a half tons of Starshield A armor that has been fitted with [[CASE]] to protect the 'Mech from an ammunition explosion.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

The ''Sentry'' has a diverse mix of weapons that allow it to carry out a wide variety of missions. For anti-'Mech and vehicle combat the ''Sentry'' carries a [[Parti-Kill Heavy Cannon| Parti-Kill PPC]] and a pair of [[Magna 200P|Magna 200P Small Pulse Laser]]s which can double as anti-infantry weapons. For anti-infantry and crowd control missions, the ''Sentry'' has a quartet of [[Sperry Browning|Sperry Browning Machine Gun]]s and a [[Zippo|Zippo Flamer]].<ref name=TRO:3060/>

*; SNT-W5 : This variant, introduced during the [[Jihad]], uses [[Technology Rating|advanced technology]]. Major changes to allow more equipment include the introduction of a [[light fusion engine]] and a [[heavy-duty gyro]]. This new configuration allowed for a slight increase in the 'Mech's armor protection, with help from [[light ferro-fibrous]] armor. All of the 'Mech's original weaponry is removed and replaced, with the left arm now mounting a [[large variable speed pulse laser]] with a pair of [[Magshot]]s, while the right arm carries a pair of [[ER medium lasers]]. The left torso has retained its [[CASE]] protection to keep the 'Mech safe in the event of a Magshot ammunition explosion.
