Description
The No-Dachi was designed in the mid to late 3050s by Cosby as a test bed for two new technologies. The first was the Sword. The seven-meter long katana that the 'Mech wields was designed to counter the Hatchet used by some Federated Commonwealth 'Mechs. Because the samurai mindset had been so successfully drilled into the warriors of the Draconis Combine, they were loathe to use a barbaric ax. The second new technology was the Triple-Strength Myomer that had been pioneered by the Federated Suns. The new melee weapon, combined with the improved myomers, make the No-Dachi a dangerous in-fighter.
Armament
The No-Dachi is built around its Sword. The Lord's Light 2 ER PPC is the 'Mech's only respectable long-range weapon. Most of the damage potential lies with the inaccurate dual Shigunga MRM-20s, a stark contrast to the elegant katana. In close ranges, the 'Mech benefits from the Guided Technologies SRM-2, Telos-4 SRM-4, and Diverse Optics Type 20 Medium Laser. The variety of weapons is a necessity to a pilot that must ensure his 'Mech runs hot in order to benefit from the new myomers.
Variants
- NDA-2K - The 2K variant has been altered to be even more dangerous in close quarters. The advantages are at the expense of its long-range weaponry, however. The ER PPC is downgraded to an ER Large Laser and the MRM-20s to MRM-10s. The resulting weight savings are used to upgrade the Medium Laser to a Medium Pulse Laser and add four more of the same. The remaining tonnage is devoted to an additional double heat sink, a Guardian ECM Suite, and a single Small Laser. BV (1.0)=1,216[1], BV (2.0) = ??

- NDA-3X - Developed in 3075, the NDA-3X is Experimental Tech variant of the No-Dachi. The 'mech employs mix of Clan and some experimental Inner Sphere equipment. 3X's no TSM, in place to increase its speed is a Supercharger, which gives it burst of speed to 100 Km/ph. Its sword is exchanged for a Large Vibroblade. For its range weapons it MRMs have been removed for pair of Clan Artemis IV guided LRM-15 Launchers with two tons of ammo. It also replaces its ER PPC with a Clan version.
