==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Solitaire''''' is a fast, heavily armored [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]]. This 25-ton design is one of the fastest in existence, allowing it to pick off enemy units that stray too far from support, like a lioness hunting a pack of wildebeest. The design seems an odd one for the cost-conscious [[Clan Diamond Shark]] to deploy, as it makes use of every weight saving material available to the [[Clan]]s in [[3067]], including an [[extralight engine]], [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, and an [[endo steel]] structure.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 106</ref>
 
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
The ''Solitaire'' relies on a full complement of heavy energy weapons, which are not only powerful but gives it significant endurance so long as heat is managed properly. Even though the 10 [[double heat sink]]s cannot possibly dissipate the massive spike in heat, typical warriors will move into position and then perform a full [[Alpha Strike (tactic)|alpha strike]] with the single [[Heavy Large Laser#Model X|Model X]] [[heavy large laser]], the [[Model II]] [[heavy small laser]], and the two [[Model V]] [[heavy medium laser]]s.
 
  
==Variants==
 
*; ''Solitaire'' 2 : This variant drops a [[heavy medium laser]], allowing the mounting of a [[MASC]] system that allows it to briefly hit speeds of 200 km/h. BV (2.0) = 1,471<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 186</ref>
