==Description==
The '''''Epimetheus''''' was designed by the same team that created the ''[[Prometheus (BattleMech)|Prometheus]]'' BattleMech. The team was trying to design a 'Mech for the Inner Sphere with the latest Clan technologies. The 'Mech uses Clan produced [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, [[Endo Steel]] skeleton, and 400-rated [[Extralight fusion engine|XL engine]]. After Professor [[Burke Kale]] plundered the [[Dark Mirage]] research facility, NAIS investigators discovered that he had taken the half-completed 'Mech with him to [[Solaris]].<ref>''Unbound'', p. 75: "Mech Profile"''</ref>

Under Professor Kale's direction, the ''Epimetheus'' was equipped with a prototype [[Torso Cockpit]] and [[Direct Neural Interface]] that replaced the standard neurohelmet with a direct connection to the MechWarrior's brain. The 'Mech performed admirably in the Solaris arenas, moving swiftly and providing highly accurate fire.
