The '''''Spartan''''' [['Mech]] was designed in [[2765]] in response to increased hostility in the [[Periphery]] prior to the [[Amaris coup|coup]] launched by [[Stefan Amaris]]. Designed to bring heavy firepower to bear on an enemy in a fast and dependable package, the ''Spartan'' is built on an eighty ton [[Geometric 500 Hard Core]] chassis with a top speed of 86.4 km/h that the 'Mech is capable of thanks to its massive [[Dantrus 400]] [[XL engine]]. To dissipate the heat burden that the ''Spartan'' has, the 'Mech is built with thirteen [[double heat sink]]s. For protection, the ''Spartan'' carries fourteen tons of [[Strasbourg Armaments 206 Diamond Weave]] armor. With the 'Mech's speed and firepower, along with its heavy armor, the ''Spartan'' is a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield regardless of the era.<ref name=TRO:3058U/>

The ''Spartan'' is one of the rarest 'Mechs in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Though Battlefield losses were expected, the destruction of Martinson's production line during the Amaris Coup, the fall of the [[Star League]], and the turmoil of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] effectively eliminated the Mech’s potential sources of sustainment. As of [[3067]], fewer than two dozen known to be in active service, 19 of these in the [[ComGuard]]s, and some into [[Snord's Irregulars]].<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Rhonda's Irregulars'', p. 31</ref>. The [[Clans]] retained some from their [[Exodus]], with [[Clan Sea Fox]] selling a handful of ''Spartan'' Cs to the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] in 3129. However, production was eventually picked up by the [[Capellan Confederation]] after they likely recovered the plans from the [[Word of Blake]] on [[Liberty]] in 3078.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 33'', p. 14</ref>

*; SPT-N3 : Both the [[Com Guards]] and [[Word of Blake Militia]] have modified their N2s to keep up with technological advances.

*; SPT-N4 : The ''Spartan'' basically disappeared with the demise of the [[Word of Blake]], until the [[Capellan Confederation]] revived it in the [[Dark Ages]]. [[Reinforced structure]] and an [[XXL engine]] propel the 80-tonner to 86.4 km/h, while [[stealth armor]] and an [[ECM suite]] help protect it. The N4 carries three [[medium X-pulse laser|medium x-pulse lasers]], a Clan [[ER PPC]], two [[Streak SRM 2|Streak SRM 2s]], an [[anti-missile system]], and a [[TAG]] designator. Fifteen [[double heat sink|double heat sinks]] are taxed by the stealth armor, energy-heavy weapons, and hot XXL engine.

*;''Spartan C'' : In the early years of the Clans, [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] rebuilt ''Spartan''s with their new Clan technology base. The [[Endo-Steel]] chassis, [[Ferro-Fibrous]] Armor, fourteen double heat sinks, and XL engine are all built to Clan specifications. The weapons suite was removed and replaced by two [[Kolibri Omega Series]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s in each arm and a [[Kolibri Delta Series (LPL)|Kolibri Delta Series]] [[Large Pulse Laser]] in each side torso. A pair of [[Pattern J4]] [[Streak SRM-4]]s with one ton of ammunition each exploit any armor gaps.
