Description
The Solitaire is a fast, heavily armored light BattleMech. The twenty five-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 Solitaire is capable of operating far from supply lines, as it carries an all-energy weapon complement and four and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. 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 Clans in 3067, including an Extralight engine and an Endo Steel structure.[3]
Armament
The Solitaire relies on a full compliment of heavy energy weapons. Even though the ten double heat sinks cannot possibly dissipate the heat, the typical warrior will move into position and then perform a full strike with the single Model X Heavy Large Laser, the Model II Heavy Small Laser, and the two Model V Heavy Medium Lasers.
Variants
- Solitaire 2 - This variant replaces a Heavy Medium Laser with a MASC system that allows it to briefly hit speeds of 200km/h. BV (2.0) = 1,471[4]
Notable Pilots
Khan Phelan Kell of Clan Wolf-in-Exile piloted a Solitaire.
