==Description==
The '''Kobold''' is a [[battle armor]] design that was jointly developed by the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], [[ComStar]], and the second [[Star League]]. The idea for such a joint project was developed after the Republic's attempts to procure [[Kage]] suits from the [[Draconis Combine]] came to naught. So, in [[3062]], the three powers came together and began to design a battlesuit that could mimic the capabilities of the Kage. After this process began, the concept of the design shifted somewhat to a light armor that can still hold its own in battle.<ref name=CE>''Combat Equipment'', p. 42</ref> By the mid-3070s the Kobold was firmly a Rasalhague design since the Star League disbanded and the Republic severed ties with ComStar in favor of [[Clan Ghost Bear]].<ref name=TRO18>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 18</ref>

The Kobold can only jump up to ninety meters at a time, but it does boast enough armor to stop a [[medium laser]]. This armor is of the basic stealth variety, making it more difficult to target far away.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO19 /> The Kobold has the distinction of being a battle armor suit used by the [[Inner Sphere]], [[ComStar]], and the Clans.

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
The sacrifice in mobility resulted in the ability to add a modular weapon mount to the squad support weapon mount. The modular mount so far has two weapons: a [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Laser]] or a [[Micro Grenade Launcher]]. The support weapon carried by the squad leader can be a [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]], [[Flamer (Battle Armor)|Flamer]], or [[Small Pulse Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Pulse Laser]]. As a light-class battle armor, the Kobold can make anti-[['Mech]] attacks and ride mounted on [[OmniMech]]s.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO19 />

==Variants==
 
*;Kobold X-C3 : This version of the Kobold was built by ComStar as a test platform for the [[Battle Armor C3i]] system. Though effective in combat, ComStar's engineers had to remove twenty percent of the armor used in the base suit and replace the existing weapon mounts with a single [[AP Weapon Mount]]. This unit is essentially a spotter for other friendly units, as its AP Weapon mount will only allow it to successfully engage conventional infantry.<ref name=XTRO:CSp16>''Experimental Technical Readout: ComStar'', p. 16</ref>
 
 
 
*;Grenade Launcher and Flamer : This squad uses a flamer as the squad support weapon and every other trooper carries a micro grenade launcher. BV (2.0) = 22<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', pp. 243-245</ref>
 
 
 
*;Grenade Launcher and Small Pulse Laser : This squad uses a Small Pulse Laser as a support weapon. Other troops in the squad retain the Micro Grenade Launcher. BV (2.0) = 25 (Inner Sphere squads)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 246</ref>, 25 (Clan Points)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 247</ref>, 23 (ComStar Level I)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 248</ref>
 
 
 
*;Grenade Launcher and TAG : This squad uses a [[Light TAG]] for a support system. BV (2.0) = 20<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', pp. 249-251</ref>
 
 
 
*;Small Laser and Flamer : This squad uses a Flamer as the support weapon and Small Lasers for every other member. BV (2.0) = 36 (Inner Sphere and Clan)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', pp. 252-253</ref>, 35 (ComStar)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 254</ref>

*;Kobold IIC : This version of the Kobold is protected by [[Improved Stealth]] armor and carries an ECM Suite, Light TAG, and Light Machine Gun. It is also equipped with a [[VTOL]] movement system to increase its utility as a spotter. BV (2.0) = 36<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 18</ref>
