Description
The Daedalus is a Solaris VII BattleMech, which was developed from an original PHX-1 Phoenix Hawk[3] in the middle of the thirty-first century. Innovative Design Concepts took the original Hawk design and updated it with several missile racks and the newly developed Large Pulse Laser, while utilizing speed to keep the design maneuvering out of tight situations.
Though it performed well during initial introduction, the design's edge over competition began to wane as newer technology was introduced. Innovative Design Concepts revamped the Daedalus in the later 3060s. By 3067 the original Daedalus design had been only seen in use in Solaris' Reaches and poor game circuits, the newer version of the 'Mech has only been utilized by Blackstar Stables.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
The Daedalus' main armament is its Tronel XIV-EXP Large X-Pulse Laser, which is backed up by four RAMTech 1500Z ER Medium Lasers and two Magna Mk IV ER Small Lasers.
Variants
- DAD-3C (Original)
- The original Daedalus carried a Large Pulse Laser, a Machine Gun, Small Laser, SRM 6, and a pair of SRM 4 missile launchers.[5]
- DAD-4A
- This variant removes the X-Pulse Laser and three ER Medium Lasers and replaces them with two Streak SRM-4 launchers and one Streak SRM-6 launcher. It also carries a supercharged engine, but at the loss of one and a half tons of armor. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,466[6]
- DAD-4B
- This variant replaces the Streak SRM-4 launchers with Medium Pulse Lasers and adds a heat sink plus an extra ton of armor, but loses the Triple Strength Myomer. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,431[7]
