==Description==
The '''''Mortis''''' was designed by the branches of StarCorps Industries in the Capellan Confederation and the Free Worlds League. A fast heavy 'Mech, the ''Mortis'' has thirteen tons of armor, a jump radius of 150 meters, and a top speed of 86 km/h. With design assistance from MechWarriors of [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]], the ''Mortis'' has relatively few weapons, but when it gets into close range it is a deadly combatant. With so few weapons, the ''Mortis'' only needs eleven double heat sinks.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Mortis'' places its main weaponry in the arms. The five ton [[Hatchet]] carried in the right arm is excellent for delivering a crushing blow in physical combat, while the [[Heavy PPC]] in the left arm is useful for punching holes in an opponent's armor. To improve targeting, the ''Mortis'' has an [[Actuator Enhancement System]] in each arm. These systems result in a more stable firing platform. With such weaponry, the ''Mortis'' is typically used by the [[CCAF]] to engage fortified targets or embark on headhunter missions.<ref name=tro3145cc42/>

To harass enemy forces while closing to the short range preferred by ''Mortis'' pilots, the right torso carries a single [[MML-5]] with a two ton magazine. To provide a little more firepower, the center torso boasts a [[Rocket Launcher 10]]. This can be used to provide more firepower in a close up strike or to engage at long range.

==Variants==
*;MS-1P : This variant is exclusively used by the [[CCAF]].<ref name=tro3145cc42/> The Heavy PPC, MML-5, and one heat sink are removed. In their place is a [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser]] in the left arm and a [[TSEMP]] cannon in the torso. Armor protection, movement profile, and the rest of the equipment are unchanged from the MS-1A.
