The first was the [[Sword (weapon)|Sword]]. The seven-meter-long ''katana'' that the [['Mech]] wields was designed to counter the [[Hatchet]] used by some [[Federated Commonwealth]] 'Mechs. Because the samurai mindset had been so successfully drilled into the warriors of the [[Draconis Combine]], they were loath to use a "barbaric" ax. The second new technology was the [[Triple Strength Myomer]] that had been pioneered by the [[Federated Suns]]. The new melee weapon, combined with the improved myomers, make the ''No-Dachi'' a dangerous in-fighter. ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''No-Dachi'' is built around its Sword. The [[Lord's Light 2]] [[ER PPC]] is the 'Mech's only respectable long-range weapon. Most of the damage potential lies with the inaccurate dual [[Shigunga]] [[MRM-20]]s, a stark contrast to the elegant ''katana''. In close ranges, the 'Mech benefits from the [[Guided Technologies]] [[SRM-2]], [[Telos-4]] [[SRM-4]], and [[Diverse Optics Type 20]] [[medium laser]]. The variety of weapons is a necessity to a pilot that must ensure his 'Mech runs hot in order to benefit from the new myomers. ==Variants== *; NDA-2K : The 2K variant has been altered to be even more dangerous in close quarters. The advantages are at the expense of its long-range weaponry, however. The ER PPC is downgraded to an [[ER Large Laser]] and the MRM-20s to [[MRM-10]]s. The resulting weight savings are used to upgrade the medium laser to a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] and add four more of the same. The remaining tonnage is devoted to an additional [[double heat sink]], a Guardian [[ECM Suite]], a single [[Small Laser]] and more armor.<ref name=TRCIp158f /> BV (1.0)=1,216,<ref name=COp125/> BV (2.0) = 1,719<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 129</ref> *; NDA-2KC : Based on the NDA-2KO, this [[Jihad]]-era variant adds a [[C3 slave]] unit in place of the rear-firing right torso laser. This model proved to be so popular that after the Jihad ended it went into production at the factory.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 190</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,684<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 100</ref> *; NDA-2KO : The newer 2KO was designed to be even more lethal up-close than the 2K. This variant removes the MRMs entirely and changes the Large Laser to a [[Large Pulse Laser]]. An additional Medium Pulse Laser and [[Small Pulse Laser]] were added, as well as a [[Flamer]] and three more [[double heat sink]]s. A ton and a half of armor has been added to the 'Mech's rear to provide addition protection as has a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRCIp158f/> BV (1.0)=1,303,<ref name=COp125/> BV (2.0) = 1,739<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 130</ref> *; NDA-3S : Apparently developed from units captured by the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]], this variant completely overhauls the weapons mix. The left arm carries a pair of [[Medium Variable Speed Pulse Laser]]s, a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and a Small Pulse Laser. The two side torsos are each equipped with a [[Small Laser]], Medium Pulse Laser, and ER medium laser, while the head mounts an additional Small Laser. The sword on the right arm has been replaced with a BattleMech sized [[Mace]]. A [[Guardian ECM Suite]] is mounted in the center torso to disrupt enemy command networks.
