The '''''Spartan''''' [['Mech]] was designed in [[2765]] in response to increased hostility in the [[Periphery]] prior to the [[Amaris coup|coup]] launched by [[Stefan Amaris]]. Designed to bring heavy firepower to bear on an enemy in a fast and dependable package, the ''Spartan'' is built on an eighty ton [[Geometric 500 Hard Core]] chassis with a top speed of 86.4 km/h that the 'Mech is capable of thanks to its massive [[Dantrus 400]] [[XL engine]]. To dissipate the heat burden that the ''Spartan'' has, the 'Mech is built with thirteen [[double heat sink]]s. For protection, the ''Spartan'' carries fourteen tons of [[Strasbourg Armaments 206 Diamond Weave]] armor. With the 'Mech's speed and firepower, along with its heavy armor, the ''Spartan'' is a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield regardless of the era.<ref name=TRO:3058U/>

The ''Spartan'' is one of the rarest 'Mechs in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Though Battlefield losses were expected, the destruction of Martinson's production line during the Amaris Coup, the fall of the [[Star League]], and the turmoil of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] effectively eliminated the Mech’s potential sources of sustainment. As of [[3067]], fewer than two dozen known to be in active service, 19 of these in the [[ComGuard]]s, and some into [[Snord's Irregulars]].<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Rhonda's Irregulars'', p. 31</ref>. The [[Clans]] retained some from their [[Exodus]], with [[Clan Sea Fox]] selling a handful of ''Spartan'' Cs to the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] in 3129. However, production was eventually picked up by the [[Capellan Confederation]] after they likely recovered the plans from the [[Word of Blake]] on [[Liberty]] in 3078.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 33'', p. 14</ref>
