==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Mandrill''''' was the first of the [[totem 'Mech]]s created. Designed to resemble its namesake animal, the ''Mandrill'' is clearly a [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] design, and was the last gasp of a united Mandrill Clan before it became hopelessly fragmented into its various ''[[Kindraa]]''. Hoping to recapture some of that spirit, [[Khan]] [[Amanda Carrol]] ordered [[Kindraa Sainze]] to produce new ''Mandrill''s in [[3058]], the first in over a century, which was originally a [[Kindraa Payne]] design. She also ordered the ''Kindraa'' to trade the [['Mech]] to other ''Kindraa'' so that the totem 'Mech is present in each.<ref name=TRO3060/>

The 'Mech can provide withering fire support for light Stars that is on par with that of some much heavier 'Mechs. Though it is slow, its [[Type C Medium Lifter]] [[jump jet]]s give it some measure of maneuverability. 10 [[double heat sink]]s ensure that the ''Mandrill'' rarely overheats, and it is protected by five tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name=TRO3060/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Over a third of the ''Mandrill''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s tonnage is devoted to a pair of [[Type 20 "Great Bow"]] [[LRM-20]] launchers and their attendant ammunition, which is limited, but usually enough for duels. The head-mounted [[Series 1]] [[ER small laser]] is something of an afterthought, though it does allow ''Mandrill''s a modicum of selfe defense after they run out of ammo, as happened on [[Atreus (Clan System)|Atreus]] against [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] during that Clan's collapse in the face of the reborn [[Star League]]'s assaults.<ref name=TRO3060/>
