− The '''Simian''' is a [[thirty-second century]] medium [[battle armor]] which was the brain child of [[Republic of the Sphere]] Paladin, [[Kara Rutherford]]. 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 [[thirty-second century]] Medium [[Battle Armor]] which was the brain child of [[Republic of the Sphere]] Paladin, [[Kara Rutherford]].

− 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> + 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 Armor saw production in [[3135]].

− 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. + One of the Battle Armor's hallmarks is its mobility, being able to outpace typical Battle Armor while retaining high Jump Jet capacity.

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> The Simian sports a Modular Weapon Mount on the right shoulder.
