Description
The Hades is an exclusive design to Wolf's Dragoons developed from the Hellbringer (Loki) and is an attempt to rectify that designs poor armor problems while retaining its offensive capabilities. The standard chassis is replaced with an Endo Steel model and the armor is upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous. The Hades maintains the same mobility of the original Loki.
Weapons and Equipment
The Prime variant closely matches that of the original Loki. The primary weapons are a pair of ER PPCs with equipped with three ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-6 missile rack for close range. An advanced Targeting Computer gives the energy weapons lethal accuracy, and an Active Probe and ECM Suite help to minimize any tactical advantage the enemy may have, while enhancing its own and tactical ability with the addition of a C3 Slave computer. To help increase battle longevity, the Hades also carries an Anti-Missile System.

Notes
The Hades was created by MechForce UK and as such is an official 'Mech, however as it stands it does not meet the requirements to be classified as Canon.
