Unlike most second generation Protos, the ''Basilisk'' has a relatively low top speed. This allows it to keep pace with larger 'Mechs and move faster than standard battle armor units. The smaller engine also allows more weight for armor, which is good because the slow top speed means a ''Basilisk'' will spend more time under enemy guns as it closes the range.<ref name=TRO3075-160>''Technical Readout: 3075, p. 160''</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Basilisk'' mounts a 'Mech sized [[ER Medium Laser]]. This powerful weapon makes a Point of ''Basilisks'' a threat that cannot be ignored. Paired with the laser is a three tube LRM launcher used to soften up targets as the ''Basilisk'' unit closes. The only problem with this is the severely limited ammunition supply. With only a pair of reloads for the LRM launcher, a ''Basilisk'' pilot can find himself at the mercy of enemies with long-range weapons.<ref name=TRO3075-160/> ==Variants== *;''Basilisk'' 2 : This variant of the ''Basilisk'' removes the standard weapons mix and replaces them with a [[Small Laser]], two Micro Lasers, a [[Short Range Missile]] launcher, and [[jump jet]]s. This allows the ''Basilisk 2'' to get into close combat much more quickly.<ref name=TRO3075-160/> BV (2.0) = 237<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 525</ref> *;''Basilisk'' 3 : This version carries a single ER Medium Laser.
