The '''''Storm Giant''''' is an early [[Clan Steel Viper]] [[BattleMech]] introduced in the [[Golden Century]] by [[Khan]] [[Sanra Mercer]] to fight on [[New Kent]]. Using the heat of the planet to their advantage, the ''Storm Giant'' uses high heat dissipation with low-heat weapons to defeat foes.

==Weapons and Equipment==
To take advantage of the high heat of New Kent, Steel Viper techs installed low-heat weapons. The main firepower comes arm mounted [[LRM-20]]s with two tons of ammunition each. Once the enemy closes the range, they face a pair of [[Streak SRM-6]]s and an [[Ultra AC/20]] that will quickly breach even the thickest armor. The Streaks share a ton of ammunition and the autocannon has three tons of ammunition. The Streaks are very efficient, but the Ultra AC can quickly run out of ammunition if the pilot isn't careful.

Seventeen double heat sinks are carried by the ''Storm Giant'', some in the [[XL engine]] and others elsewhere in the 'Mech's [[Endo Steel]] chassis. The 'Mech carries eighteen and a half tons of armor and [[CASE]] protects all the ammunition.<ref name=trogc43/>

*;''Storm Giant'' 2 : This variant of the ''Storm Giant'' replaces the Streak SRMs with two [[ER Large Laser]]s, an [[ER medium laser]], and an extra double heat sink.
