Description
The Spider was originally designed by Newhart Industries as a 'Mech to be used by SLDF commando forces. The 'Mech gets its name from the unique pattern on its chest that radiates from the Medium Laser mounts in its center torso. The Spider is one of the most maneuverable BattleMechs ever conceived. It has a ground speed that is comparable to a Locust and can out jump either the vaunted Wasp or Stinger light 'Mechs. Spiders are generally used as fast strike forces to hit an enemy's rear with lightning speed.
Armament
The Spider carries a very light armament of two Aberdovey Mk III Medium Lasers. The lasers are marginally effective against other 'Mechs and hard targets but are more then effective against soft targets, such as ammunition crates and command posts.
Variants
- SDR-5K - The -5K Spider removes one of the Medium Lasers and replaces it with two arm mounted Machine Guns for anti-infantry use. BV (1.0) = 433
- SDR-5D - The -5D Spider is also geared towards anti-infantry work. This is done by removing one of the Medium Lasers and replacing it with a single arm-mounted Flamer. BV (1.0) = 412
- SDR-7K - The -7K is an upgrade of the base design and uses a Light Fusion engine in place of the standard model. It carries two Medium Pulse Lasers and is built using an Endo Steel structure and Ferro-Fibrous armor. BV (1.0) = ?
- SDR-7K2 - the -7K2 is built using an Endo Steel structure and Ferro-Fibrous armor. The jump capability is only 210 meters, but it now carries an Extended Range Large Laser. BV (1.0) = ?
- SDR-7M - The -7M upgrades the internal structure to an Endo Steel version and upgrades the armor to Ferro-Fibrous. The saved weight is used to upgrade the standard Medium Lasers to Pulse Lasers. BV (1.0) = 492
- SDR-8M - The -8M is a simple upgrade of the 7-M, replacing the single heat sinks with double strength versions. Otherwise, they are completely identical. BV (1.0) = 588
