==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Cyllaros''''' is a medium hybrid [[combat vehicle]]/[[BattleMech]] known as a [[QuadVee]]. The first production model of its kind, the ''Cyllaros'' was a proof-of-concept for this type of combat unit. Conceived by the scientist and technician castes of [[Clan Hell's Horses]], the unit's creation was not well received by many among the warrior castes of the other [[Clans]] within the [[Inner Sphere]].

The ''Cyllaros'' was designed to merge the best qualities of a tracked combat vehicle and quadruped BattleMech. Some of its unusual and unique design features include a two-man cockpit and torso-like turret.  The ''Cyllaros'' saw its first trial by fire against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in a [[Trial of Possession]] for a stockpile of armor in [[3136]] on the world of [[Derf]]. The Horses bid a [[Binary]] of troops for the trial, a pair of ''Cyllaros'' being included in an all QuadVee [[Star (Formation)|Star]]. However, the QuadVees fared poorly in this first combat action, with four being destroyed including both ''Cyllaros''.

Despite the ''Cyllaros''<nowiki>'</nowiki> defeat in combat, the Horses would continue to produce the 'Mech and other related units as part of ongoing development of the concept. The ''Cyllaros'' and others would be deployed to fill in secondary line Galaxies in the [[Clan Hell's Horses Touman|Horses ''touman'']]. ''Cyllaros'' were included in Hell's Horses units to claim abandoned [[Clan Wolf]] worlds in their Occupation Zone. These forces included [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Epsilon Galaxy]] which was assigned a number of QuadVees to fight skirmishes with [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. The design would eventually prove that it is serviceable in combat, despite its shortcomings.<ref name=tro3145:tc2829/>

The ''Cyllaros'' and others would be deployed to fill in secondary line Galaxies in the Horses' ''[[Touman]]''. After a decade of service, the ''Cyllaros'' saw little action.

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Cyllaros'' is designed to move a maximum speed of 86 km/h in either its vehicle or 'Mech mode. Powered by a 275-rated [[fusion engine]], the unit can keep up with other units of its weight class, and like others of its kind, damage to the ''Cyllaros''<nowiki>'</nowiki> motor system does not easily disable the unit unlike conventional vehicles. Should its tracks be destroyed, the ''Cyllaros'' can transform into its 'Mech configuration and continue to move. Similarly, should its [[gyro]] get damaged or even destroyed, it simply can become a vehicle to overcome this damage. The ''Cyllaros''' hull is protected by modest seven and a half tons of [[Compound H17]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.

The Cyllaros's hull is protected by modest 7.5 tons of Compound H17 Ferro-Fibrous armor.  
  
The 'Mech's two-man cockpit allows for its dedicated gunner to be able to target up to three enemies without difficulty. However, unlike other QuadVees, the ''Cyllaros''' cockpit was designed to separate its crew from one another, and would prove to be one of the 'Mech's failings.

The 'Mech's two-man cockpit allows for its dedicated Gunner to be able to target up to three enemies without penalty. However, unlike other QuadVees, the ''Cyllaros'' cockpit was designed to separate its crew from one another. This would prove to be one of the 'Mech's failings.
  
The ''Cyllaros''' weaponry is all mounted in the 'Mech's turret-like torsos. A [[LRM-15#Type_XV_.22Crossbow.22|Type XV “Crossbow”]] [[LRM-15]] launcher, found in the center torso, serves as 'Mech's long-range weapon while twin [[Model VI]] [[improved heavy medium laser]]s are able to inflict significant damage on opponents who engage it at closer ranges. The [[Tau-II]] [[AP Gauss rifle]]s help to deter possible threats by infantry and battle armor. The crew is protected by built-in [[CASE]] to safeguard against potential weapon and ammunition detonations.<ref name=tro3145:tc2829/>
