The design came about due in part to Paladin Rutherford's concern of the high cost of battle armor development. Her efforts to make a cost-effective design would give birth to the Simian, however, she would not live to see it enter production. + The Simian is a [[Battle Armor]] suit that first appeared during the [[Dark Age]] era. The Simian's stooped posture and long forearms mimics that of many primates and it is thought its name comes from this similarity. − − Produced on [[Devil's Rock]] at the secretive [[Rhodes Foundry]], the suit was among many developments which were unknown to the rest of the Inner Sphere; which had already descended into chaos by the time the armor saw production in [[3135]]. It was first deployed alongside the heavier [[Centaur (Battle Armor)|Centaur]] battle armor as part of the Republic's false-flag raids across the [[Fortress Republic|Walled borders]] just after April [[3136]]. The armor would work well in these special ops forces, causing havoc among Inner Sphere and Clan forces trying to figure out whom these suits belonged to.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 6 - Background information.</ref> − ==Weapons and Equipment==+ The Simian is faster than many suits its size, and is known to sometimes use a quad gait for even more speed. This speed comes with the sacrifice of armor protection, and they are known to be easy to disable. The suit is also jump capable. − One of the battle armor's hallmarks is its mobility, being able to outpace typical battle armor while retaining high Jump Jet capacity. Its 350 kg worth of armor protection, while not able to stop heavy weapons, can allow the soldier inside to survive long enough to close to its target using its mobility. − The Simian sports a Modular Weapon Mount on the right shoulder. This system typically holds a [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Laser]], but other configurations include a [[Light Recoilless Rifle (Battle Armor)|Light Recoilless Rifle]], [[Flamer (Battle Armor)|Flamer]], or [[Heavy Machine Gun (Battle Armor)|Heavy Machine Guns]]. Usually the Simian doesn't mount advanced weaponry, instead choosing to use more easily available standard weaponry. Its arms are also used as effective melee weapons when engaging infantry, with [[Magnetic Claw|Magnetic Claws]] enabling them to do additional damage to enemy Combat Vehicles and BattleMechs. A small [[Searchlight]] was added as well, but this seems to be an afterthought.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 6-7, 59-62 Simian - Stats and Equipment.</ref><ref>[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Filter?Name=Simian+Battle+Armor MUL Profile for Simian - Introduction Date & BV2 Listings for Simian alternate Weapon Module configurations.]</ref> + ==Armament== + The Simian sports a low damage laser system on a shoulder mount. Its arms are also used as effective melee weapons when engaging infantry. − ==Design Quirks== + ==Variants== − The Simian battle armor is subjected to the following [[Design Quirk]]: − * [[Easy to Maintain]] − − ==Notes== − * The suit has the following capabilities - Swarm/Leg Attack/Mechanized/AP: Yes/Yes/Yes/No. − − * The Armor's BA Tube Artillery also has a Detachable Weapon Pack feature on it. − − * The Simian battle armor was originally conceived of by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectible Miniatures]] game as a part of its Domination expansion set. The figure would be used as general battle armor in the CGC game, not exclusively to the Republic the Sphere. The battle armor would later be adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]]. − − ==Gallery== − <gallery> − File:MWDA-DO030-Simian Battle Armor.jpg|Simian Battle Armor miniature from [[Miniatures - MechWarrior#MechWarrior: Domination|MechWarrior: Domination set]] − </gallery> ==References== ==References== − <references/>+ *MechWarrior: Age of Destruction − + *Wizkids Article (Archived) [http://web.archive.org/web/20070713132443/www.wizkidsgames.com/mechwarrior/linknet/default.asp?a=40676] "Calling All Militias" − ==Bibliography==+ *Wizkids Article (Archived) [http://web.archive.org/web/20080529213838/www.wizkidsgames.com/mechwarrior/LinkNet/default.asp?a=40730] "Answering the Call" − * ''[[Master Unit List]]'' − * ''[[MechWarrior: Age of Destruction]]'' − * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145]] − * [http://web.archive.org/web/20070713132443/www.wizkidsgames.com/mechwarrior/linknet/default.asp?a=40676 WizKids Article (Archived): "Calling All Militias"] − * [http://web.archive.org/web/20080529213838/www.wizkidsgames.com/mechwarrior/LinkNet/default.asp?a=40730 WizKids Article (Archived): "Answering the Call"] − − [[Category:Battle Armor]] [[Category:Battle Armor]] − [[Category:Medium Battle Armor]] − [[Category:Republic of the Sphere Battle Armor]]
