Description
At the higher end of the medium class, the Dervish is a highly mobile fire support 'Mech. The Dervish has a maximum speed of 86.4 kph which allows it to keep up with and support most medium and light models. The 'Mech also has a jumping capability of one hundred and fifty meters. This allows the Dervish to move through rough terrain with ease. The main competitor to the Dervish is the Trebuchet. While both 'Mechs are fairly evenly matched, the Dervish has far greater maneuverability.
Armament
The Dervish carries as its main weapons two Federated 10-Shot LRM 10 launchers. These missile launchers give the Dervish the long-range capability needed to provide fire support to friendly units. For close combat, the Dervish carries two Federated 2-Shot SRM 2 launchers and two ChisComp 39 Medium Lasers.
Variants
- DV-7D - The 7D Dervish is an upgrade of the design using Star League technology. The 'Mech is built with an Endo Steel chassis and also uses Ferro-Fibrous armor with CASE for protection against ammunition explosions. With the saved weight, the SRM 2s have been upgraded to Streak SRM 2s and the 'Mech uses double heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 1,328, BV (2.0) = 1,412
- DV-8D - The 8D Dervish utilizes some of the newest technologies available. The 'Mech is built with an Endo Steel chassis and is powered by an extralight engine. It also carries three more tons of armor than the 6M model. The weapons carried by the 8D are two LRM 15 launchers with Artemis IV fire control system. The Medium Lasers have been upgraded and the 8D carries four ER Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,415, BV (2.0) = 1,765
