==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Daedalus'' GTX2A''' is a 60 ton quad IndustrialMech. Its primary purpose is to carry cargo, but the flexibility of the chassis allowed many manufacturers to create customized versions. The 'Mech was particularly popular with the Star League Defense Force Corps of Engineers because it was so versatile. Though there were dozens in the Clan Homeworlds, no examples are known to have survived at the [[Pentagon Civil War]] to the present day.<ref name=HOKp169 />

However, the Clans must have preserved the Daedalus' blueprints, as the [[Scorpion Empire]] restarted production of the Deadalus in 3151, to build industries.<ref>''Shrapnel #6: Moving Forward'', p. 181</ref>

==Cargo==
 
==Cargo==
The ''Daedalus'' GTX2A "Stevedore" can carry 15 tons of cargo in its internal cargo bays. The bays are split into two bays, one in the left torso and one in the right torso. The left torso bay can carry seven tons of cargo, while the right bay can carry eight tons of cargo. These cargo pods were heated and pressurized, and so could be used to transport liquid, bulk, or live cargo with ease.<ref name=HOKp169 />

Certain desperate forces have armed their IndustrialMechs. These armed IndustrialMechs are usually no match for dedicated BattleMechs, but can threaten infantry and light vehicles.
