The Star Adder Assault-class BattleMech was inspired by the Blood Asp.

Canonicity

This BattleMech was featured in an official BattleTech product, namely the MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf series of computer games.

By virtue of being an official albeit not positively canonical product, the game expansion and the 'Mechs presented therein including this one must be considered apocryphal.

Overview

The Star Adder is a variant of the Blood Asp that emphasizes short-range combat. Its flame thrower is highly destructive up close

Description

The Star Adder is a very slow Battlemech, even less than an Atlas.

Armament

The Star Adder carries two Plasma PPCs, four Autocannons and a Flamer.

Variants

Lava Gun

There is a variant of the Mech that uses a Lava Gun instead of a Flamer.[1][2]

Notes

In an unusual move that goes against the usual BattleTech universe standards 'Mech speeds are expressed in mp/h rather than km/h, as such the speed figure has been converted to km/h for this article.
