==Description==
 
==Description==
The light assault [['Mech]] of the [[Celestial series]] of [[OmniMech]]s, the '''''Seraph''''' is somewhat slow for its weight, but it attempts to make up for that with the inclusion of [[triple strength myomer]] that enables the 'Mech to speed up to 64 km/h when it runs hot. Like the other Celestials, the ''Seraph'' makes use of a [[light fusion engine]] and a [[small cockpit]], though other newer technologies are present only in its weaponry. As with the other Celestials, a [[C3i computer]] is included.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Seraph'' features an array of weapons that is useful at long to medium ranges, but becomes very strong at close range. The largest gun on the 'Mech is the [[Ultra AC/10]] that is capable of a sustained high rate of fire thanks to the inclusion of three tons of ammunition. The paired [[MML-5]]s can fire both SRM and LRM rounds, giving it great flexibility, while the [[Streak SRM-6]] can be fired as often as possible since it does not fire unless it acquires a target lock. The [[snub-nose PPC]] is capable of the same amount of damage as its heavier counterpart at short range. With this wide array of weaponry, the ''Seraph'' makes use of its [[C3i computer]], whether it is sniping with its missiles or closing to short range and unloading on opponents while feeding its targeting telemetry back to other members of its [[Level II]]. Of course, the [[retractable blade]] gives it an accurate physical weapon.

The main criticism of the ''Seraph Invictus'' is that it does not make very good use of its triple strength myomer. The design does not build enough heat to activate the musculature, a problem the Streak missile system only exacerbates.

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A (''Dominus'') : This variant uses a [[heavy PPC]] to deliver a strong punch, and a [[plasma rifle]] to deal both damage and heat. An [[ER medium laser]] and a [[medium pulse laser]] provide close support, while the [[target acquisition gear]] threatens opponents with homing artillery. A [[targeting computer]] helps these weapons find their mark, and [[improved jump jet]]s allow the ''Seraph'' Dominus to move up to a hundred fifty meters at a time. One extra heat sink seems an afterthought.<ref name=TRJp170f /> BV (2.0) = 2,324<ref name=TRJp170f /> or 2,338<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 177</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration B (''Infernus'') : Vicious up close or at range, the ''Seraph'' B also uses a targeting computer to aid its accuracy. Up close it can use its [[LB 20-X Autocannon]], which is capable of firing slugs that can tear holes in an enemy's armor or cluster munitions that spread damage out. Three tons of ammunition is protected by [[CASE]]. Also protected by CASE is the [[anti-missile system]] ammo bin. Farther out, the ''Infernus'' variant makes use of a heavy PPC. Useful at all ranges is the snub-nose PPC, though it deals more damage up close.<ref name=TRJp170f /> BV (2.0) = 2,181<ref name=TRJp170f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 178</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration C (''Comminus'') : Though the ''Comminus'' variant is quite powerful against conventional units, it sacrifices little firepower against other 'Mechs. An [[MRM 40]] is useful against either type of opponent, though it is more difficult to aim than other weapons. A heavy PPC and two ER medium lasers work well against hardened targets. A plasma rifle deals heavy damage against enemy units, but is especially potent against [[infantry]]. Also heavily damaging to unarmored troops are the pair of [[flamer]]s. To protect the ''Seraph'' C from enemy electronics, it mounts a [[Guardian ECM suite]]. Five extra heat sinks cool things down.<ref name=TRJp170f /> BV (2.0) = 2,136<ref name=TRJp170f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 179</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration D (''Luminos'') : The ''Seraph'' D is best at medium to long range, as it carries two heavy PPCs and one [[light PPC]]. Like the ''Dominus'' variant, the ''Luminos'' can jump up to 150 meters using improved jump jets that enable it to get into a good sniping position. Three medium pulse lasers and a [[small laser]] are used defensively in the event an enemy units gets inside the minimum range of the PPCs. A flamer provides effective anti-infantry defense.
