Although not as versatile as the ''Turkina'', it was developed from the most commonly available parts at the time, giving the ''Jupiter'' a rugged and easily repaired design that many other designs cannot match. Due to its durability, ''Jupiters'' have been spotted in many [[mercenary]] and [[Great House|House]] armies throughout the post-[[Jihad]] [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=MWDADaPCp158>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 158</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Jupiter'' is a massive [[BattleMech]] that can reach 54 km/h at best speed, thanks to its [[XL engine]]. Nineteen and a half tons of armor provide protection that can be matched by few other 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3075pp148-149/> The ''Jupiter'' is armed for long range combat. The 'Mech mounts a pair of [[Type XX]] [[ER PPC]]s and two [[Series IV]] [[LRM-15]] launchers, giving it excellent long range capabilities. These are backed up by four [[Type DL]] [[Ultra AC/5]]s which allow the 'Mech to put a large volume of fire downrange. Additionally, the ER PPCs allow the 'Mech to stay in combat when its ammunition-dependent weapons have been silenced due to a lack of ammunition in prolonged engagements.<ref name=TRO3075pp148-149/> ==Variants== *;''Jupiter'' 2 : The ''Jupiter 2'' is a more maneuverable variant of the ''Jupiter''. The 'Mech removes the Ultra AC/5s and replaces them with a pair of [[Ultra AC/10]]s. The LRM-15s have been upgraded with [[Artemis IV]] for increased accuracy. Finally, to increase its maneuverability, the ''Jupiter'' 2 has had [[jump jet]]s added that allow it to jump up to ninety meters.<ref name=TRO3075pp148-149/> BV (1.0) = 2,915;<ref name=RSMW /> BV (2.0) = 3,278<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 133</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 279</ref> *;''Jupiter'' 3 : This version of the ''Jupiter'' sports a completely new weapons configuration. Sporting the same Ultra AC/10s as the 2 version, the rest of the weapons are replaced with a pair of [[HAG 30]] cannons and two [[ER medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRO3075pp148-149/> BV (2.0) = 3,074<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 134</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 280</ref> *;''Jupiter'' 4 : This [[Dark Age]] variant of the ''Jupiter'' uses an XL fusion engine to reach a top speed of 64 km/h. In place of the standard weaponry, it carries two ER PPCs, two [[Streak SRM-4]]s, and a pair of Artemis IV–enhanced LRM-15s.
