==Description==
Manufactured on [[Emris IV]] by [[StarCorps Industries]], the '''''Carronade''''' was designed to fill roles normally taken by two separate [['Mech]]s within the same lance - punching holes in the armor of enemy units, and then exploiting those holes with waves of small munitions. The ''Carronade'' was successful enough in military actions performed by the [[Federation of Oriente]] in [[3110]] to both attract the interest of mercenary units and to see action in the [[Solaris VII]] arenas. The considerable success of the Oriente ''Carronades'' in action against the [[Republic of the Sphere]], however, caused [[RAF]] units to make downing ''Carronades'' a priority.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp34+"/>

Powered by a VOX 280 [[extralight fusion engine]], the ''Carronade'' could reach speeds of 64 km/h on the battlefield, although it lacked [[Jump Jet]]s. The ''Carronade'' was protected by thirteen and a half tons of ArcShield VII Mk.5 [[Standard Armor]], while CASE II installed in the ''Carronade'' protected the 'Mech and its [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] if either of the main weapons was damaged.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp34+"/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
As secondary weapons, the ''Carronade'' mounted a [[Diverse Optics Sunfire]] [[Extended-Range Medium Laser]] in the head and each side torso. The primary weapons of the ''Carronade'' were the two [[Gauss rifle]]s it mounted.  However, the arrangement was somewhat unusual.  An [[Oriente MagCoil Model M]] Gauss rifle was mounted in the right arm and was used to strip large chunks of armor off individual locations on target units. The [[Oriente MagCoil Model K]] [[Silver Bullet Gauss rifle]] mounted in the left arm then exploited those holes. Each Gauss rifle was supplied with two tons of ammunition stored in the corresponding torso location.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp34+"/>

==Variants==
As of [[3145]] no variants of the ''Carronade'' had been introduced to service.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp34+"/>

==Design Quirks==
The ''Carronade'' was subject to the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp34+"/>
