==Description==
 
==Description==
Following the success of the ''[[Tarantula]]'' [[BattleMech]], [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno]] felt that they could produce a successful quad design to replace the aging ''[[Goliath]]'' BattleMechs in many successor state armies. In early [[3059]], the '''''Sirocco''''' had reached the point of field testing. The 'Mech is built on a [[Corean IX]] chassis that carries a [[Pitban 285]] [[fusion engine]], giving the ''Sirocco'' a top speed of 54.0 km/h. It carries nineteen and a half tons of [[Starshield]] armor, giving it an impressive amount of protection from enemy fire. To dissipate the waste heat from the 'Mech's heavy arsenal, the ''Sirocco'' carries thirteen [[double heat sink]]s.

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The ''Sirocco'' carries as its primary weapons a pair of [[Imperator Automatic]] [[Ultra Autocannon/10]]s that are capable of firing at twice the standard rate of fire of a standard autocannon of the same class. The two Ultra Autocannons provide the 'Mech with a great deal of long-range firepower. For close combat, the ''Sirocco'' carries six [[Diverse Optics Type]] [[ER medium laser]]s, two of which are rear-mounted, allowing the ''Sirocco'' to defend itself from any angle in close combat. Additionally, the 'Mech uses a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] to round out its close-range firepower. To dissuade knee-capping attacks made by enemy sappers, the ''Sirocco'' has two [[Ma Mien]] [[Anti-Personnel Pod]]s. Finally, to disrupt enemy electronic warfare systems, the 'Mech carries a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].

==Variants==
*;SRC-5C : The 5C variant of the ''Sirocco'' is more specialized in both long and short range combat. For long range combat, the ''Sirocco'' has two [[Light Gauss Rifle]]s which allow the 'Mech to strike an enemy at up to seven hundred and fifty meters. The 5C variant of the ''Sirocco'' also has a powerful close range arsenal if forced to defend itself. The 'Mech has four ER medium lasers, two mounted in the front and two in the rear, as well as a Medium Pulse Laser. Also for close combat, the 5C variant has two [[SRM-4]] missile launchers to seek out weak points in an enemy's armor, and is even more well defended against enemy sappers with four Anti-Personnel Pods. Finally, the 'Mech retains the ECM Suite to defend itself from electronic warfare systems.

*;SRC-6C : This variant of the ''Sirocco'' was developed during the [[Jihad]].  This variant was designed to be a member of a conventional C3 Network Lance.  Carried in the 'Mech's right torso is a single Light Gauss Rifle with 2 tons of ammunition. In its left torso, an [[ER Large Laser]] is complemented by four ER medium lasers. Like all ''Sirocco''s, the 'Mech has a Guardian ECM Suite.  However, unlike any of its predecessors, the 'Mech has been fitted with five [[Improved Jump Jet]]s.
