Description
The Spartan is a 'Mech that was designed in response to increased hostility in the Periphery prior to the bloody coup launched by Stefan Amaris. Designed to bring heavy firepower to bear on an enemy in a fast and dependable package, the Spartan is built on an eighty ton Geometric 500 Hard Core chassis with a top speed of 86.4 km/h that the 'Mech is capable of thanks to its massive Dantrus 400 XL engine. To dissipate the heat burden that the Spartan has, the 'Mech is built with thirteen double heat sinks. For protection, the Spartan carries fourteen tons of Strasbourg Armaments 206 Diamond Weave armor. With the 'Mech's speed and firepower, along with the its heavy armor, the Spartan is a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield regardless of the era.
Due to battlefield losses, the fall of the Star League, and the Succession Wars, the Spartan is one of the rarest 'Mechs in the Inner Sphere, with less than two dozen left in known service as of 3067.
Armament
The Spartan carries, as its primary long-range weapon, a Kinslaughter H ER PPC, giving the 'Mech an effective range of just under seven hundred meters. For close range combat, the Spartan has a trio of Blankenburg Medium Pulse Lasers that give it a powerful short range punch. To find weak points in an enemy's armor, the Spartan carries two Holly Streak SRM-2 launchers. To allow the Spartan to spot for friendly Arrow IV Artillery units, the 'Mech carries a CherrySeed Bullseye TAG target designation laser. Finally, for point blank missile defense, the Spartan has a McArthur Anti-Missile System.
Variants
- SPT-NF - A simple upgrade of the Spartan that has been modified for increased survivability, the NF variant removes the TAG equipment and replaces it with CASE in each of the 'Mechs side torsos to prevent the 'Mech's complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion. BV (1.0) = 1,280, BV (2.0) = 1,605
- SPT-N3 - Both the ComGuard and Word of Blake Militia have modified their N2s to keep up with technological advances. The pulse lasers are upgraded to ER Medium Lasers, while the leftover tonnage goes towards three additional double heat sinks. The anti-missile system and its attendant ammunition are removed and replaced with a C3i Computer. BV = 1,549, BV (2.0) = 1,631
