	==Weapons and Equipment==		==Weapons and Equipment==
−	Built on an [[endo steel]] frame and powered by a [[Hermes 270]] [[XL engine]], the ''Daedalus'' is a fast medium 'Mech able to reach top speeds of 97.2 km/h. This speed is enhanced further by [[Triple Strength Myomer]], allowing the ''Daedalus'' to reach speeds of 118.8 km/s when properly heated up. Six [[Rawlings 45]] [[jump jet]]s further increase mobility, allowing the ''Daedalus'' to leap 180 meters in a single bound.	+	The ''Daedalus''' main armament is its [[Tronel XIV-EXP]] [[Large X-Pulse Laser]], which is backed up by four [[RAMTech 1500Z]] [[ER Medium Laser]]s and two [[Magna Mk IV]] [[ER Small Laser]]s.
−
−	The ''Daedalus'' wields a heat intensive, all energy loadout. The main armament is a [[Tronel XIV-EXP]] [[large X-Pulse laser]], backed up by four [[RAMTech 1500Z]] [[ER medium laser]]s and two [[Magna Mk IV]] [[ER small laser]]s, all tied to a [[targeting computer]] for superior accuracy. Heat is managed by 12 [[double heat sink]]s, which are barely able to manage the heat, but allows the 'Mech's TSM to be activated quickly.

−
−	*; DAD-4A : This variant removes the [[large X-Pulse laser]] and three [[ER medium laser]]s and replaces them with two [[Streak SRM-4]] launchers and one [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher. It also carries a [[supercharger]]-enhanced engine, but at the loss of one and a half tons of armor. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,466<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 242</ref>

−	*; DAD-DX : This one-off prototype variant from 3097 used a 270-rated [[XXL engine]] and [[endo-composite structure]]. Armaments included a [[heavy PPC]] with a [[PPC capacitor]], two [[small X-Pulse laser]]s, two [[medium X-Pulse laser]]s, an [[ER small laser]], and two [[ER medium laser]]s. After a failed arena demonstration, the expensive project was scrapped.
