Description

The Spartan is a 'Mech that was designed in response to increased hostility in the periphery prior to the bloody coup launched by Stefan Amaris. Desined to bring heavy firepower to bear on an enemy in a fast and dependable package the Spartan is built on an eighty ton Geometric 500 Hard Core chassis with a top speed of 86.4 km/h that the 'Mech is capable of thanks to its massive Dantrus 400 XL engine. To dissipate the heat burden that the Spartan has, the 'Mech is built with thirteen double heat sinks and for protection the Spartan carries fourteen tons of Strasbourg Armaments 206 Diamond Weave armor. With the 'Mechs speed and firepower, along with the its heavy armor, the Spartan is a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield regardless of the era.

Armament

The Spartan carries as its primary long-range weapon a Kinslaughter H ER PPC giving the 'Mech an effective range of just under seven hundred meters. For close range combat the Spartan has a trio of Blankenburg Medium Pulse Lasers giving the 'Mech a powerful short range punch. To find weak points in an enemy's armor the Spartan carries two Holly Streak SRM-2 launchers. To allow the Spartan to spot for freindly Arrow IV artillery units the 'Mech carries a CherrySeed Bullseye TAG target designation laser. Finally for point blank missile defense The Spartan hs a McArthur Anti-Missile System.

Variants

  • SPT-NF - A simple upgrade of the Spartan that has been modified for increased survivability the NF variant removes the TAG equipment and replaces it with CASE in each of the 'Mechs side torsos to prevent the 'Mechs complete destruction in an ammunition explosion. BV (1.0) = 1,280
