Second only to the heavy ''[[Minotaur]]'' in armor protection, the ''Gorgon'' can stay in a fight until it has exhausted all its ammunition, which is its primary drawback. The ''Gorgon'' is also responsible for the practice of ProtoMechs carrying a "main gun" externally mounted to the torso and supported by the arms, a necessity devised by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] engineers given the size of its primary weapon.<ref name=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 202</ref> Initially only [[Clan Star Adder]] adopted the ''Gorgon'' after the fall of the Smoke Jaguars, though they were soon joined by the [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcons]], [[Clan Nova Cat|Nova Cats]] and [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Ravens]].<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/1239/gorgon-standard ''Gorgon (Standard)'' on Master Unit List]</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== With a standard [[LRM-10]] launcher and one ton of ammunition, the ''Gorgon'' can provide almost as much firepower as a ''[[Valkyrie]]''. For close in work, the ''Gorgon'' mounts an [[ER Micro Laser]]. Usually a pilot will use this weapon to deter pursuit when heading back to reload the LRM launcher. The 65-rated fusion engine propels the ProtoMech to a cruising speed of 43 km/h and the ''Gorgon'' carries sufficient armoring to survive a full volley from an [[SRM-6]] to the chest.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Variants== *;Gorgon 2 : Developed in the 3060s, this variant is designed for close-quarters combat.
