==Description==
The '''''No-Dachi''''' was designed in the mid- to late 3050s by Cosby as a testbed for two new technologies. 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.

*; 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.

*; NDA-3X : Developed in [[3075]] under [[Hideki Kurosawa]], the NDA-3X is [[Experimental Technology|Experimental Tech]] variant of the ''No-Dachi''. The 'Mech employs mix of Clan and Inner Sphere experimental equipment. The 3X does not use Triple Strength Myomers, instead utilizing a [[Supercharger]], which gives it a burst of speed up to 100 km/h. Its sword is exchanged for a [[Large Vibroblade]]. For its ranged weapons, the MRMs have been removed for pair of [[Clan]] [[Artemis IV]]-guided [[LRM-15|LRM-15 launchers]] with two tons of ammo. It also replaces its ER PPC with a Clan version. For close-up combat, the 'Mech's SRM launchers have been removed in favor of upgrading the medium laser to a Clan ER model and adding a rear-firing Clan [[ER Small Laser]] in the torso. Its heat management been improved by replacing its original heat sinks with fifteen Clan Double Heat Sinks. The armor protection has been enhanced by Clan [[Ferro-fibrous Armor]] and an experimental [[Armored Cockpit]].
