==Description==
 
==Description==
After the [[Clan invasion]] showed that [[Clan]] tactics often did not hold up against [[Inner Sphere]] forces because of the protracted engagements, [[Clan Coyote]] scientists designed the '''''Canis'''''. This second-line assault [[BattleMech]] primarily utilizes energy weapons, though it does use some ballistic weaponry to provide a stronger punch. In order to provide the tonnage for this powerful weapon array, the ''Canis'' utilizes an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure, as well as an [[extralight fusion engine]]. To protect the vulnerable engine, fifteen tons of [[standard armor]] are utilized. Since the 'Mech is slower than most of its weight, the ''Canis'' comes equipped with enough [[jump jet]]s to move ninety meters at a time. The ''Canis'' saw its first action in [[3058]] against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces during the [[Harvest Trials]].<ref name=TRO3060/>

The energy weapons on the ''Canis'' are four arm-mounted [[Series 7Ja]] [[ER Large Laser]]s. While these pack a powerful, long-range punch, they often overload the design's sixteen [[double heat sink]]s. For medium-range support, the ''Canis'' utilizes a pair of torso-mounted [[Type 9]] [[Ultra Autocannon/10]]s, though it only carries enough ammunition for approximately a minute and a half of sustained firing.<ref name=TRO3060/>

*;''Canis'' 2 : Developed during the [[Jihad]] in [[3071]], this is an upgrade in the design's weaponry.  The 'Mech's Ultra Class autocannons are removed, for a pair of [[HAG-20|Class 20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles]] with four tons of ammunition. Three of the 'Mech's ER Large Lasers are removed, with one being moved to its head. In their place, they've been given two [[Large Pulse Lasers]].
