The '''''Sun Cobra''''' was developed during the [[Jihad]] as a fast, long-range raider that was built for speed as much as solid hitting power. The lethal ''Sun Cobra'' is used mostly for fire support. First seeing production in [[3074]] as [[Clan Wolf]] was beset by enemies, the design found its way into the armed forces of many Houses and factions of the [[Inner Sphere]] by the 3130s.<ref name=TRO3075/>

The simple design and construction of the ''Sun Cobra'' leaves little to a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior's]] imagination. Slow for a medium [[BattleMech]], it can only reach 64 km/h, despite utilizing an [[XL engine]]. This is not seen as much of a weakness, as it is a long-range unit.<ref name=TRO3075/>

Common variants of the ''Sun Cobra'' use [[ER PPC]]s instead of the [[Gauss rifle]]s. Others feature the addition of [[jump jet]]s as well, though these all come after [[3075]].
