The vehicle has superior speed to the original [[Scimitar]]. The new version of the venerable combat vehicle began to appear at the dawn of the [[thirty-second century]]. Originally, this upgraded version of the Scimitar served as part of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s [[Republic Armed Forces]], being produced by Scarborough Manufacturers' [[Al Na'ir]]. Many of these vehicles were salvaged over the decades after the [[Jihad]], and found their way into warring political militia factions in the [[Republic of the Sphere]] by [[3132]]. However, with the fall of Al Na’ir to the [[Draconis Combine]] in [[3135]], it had since been integrated in [[DCMS]] and serving along with other sister vehicles of Scarborough Manufacturers famous trio of hover tanks.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 14: Scimitar Mk.II - Background</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== Unlike its Autocannon-armed predecessor, the MK II is given an array of short-range laser weaponry in its front. These lasers are backed up with a Four-Tube Short-Range Missile Launcher found in the turret. The principal weaponry is found with Four [[Diverse Optics Type 10]] Small Lasers, with a Diverse Optics Extended Range Small Laser to round out its firepower. For anti-infantry work, the vehicle has been given a pair of mini-machine guns. The Scimitar MK II's increased speed is thanks to its 175-rated Fusion Engine, which is protected by 6.5 tons of StarGuard II [[standard armor]]. To round out the vehicle's protection and aid friendly vehicles, the Scimitar MK II utilizes a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 14–15, 65: Scimitar Mk.II - Stats</ref> ==Variants== *; Scimitar MK II (BC3) : An [[Technology Rating|Advanced]] tech variant of the standard Mark II. This version can act as advanced scout and spotter, featuring a [[C3 boosted slave]] and a slight increase of armor. This is added at the cost nearly all of its weapons save its turret-mounted SRM 4 launcher and a newly added [[Light PPC]].

The Light PPC gives the Upgrade well needed long-range capacities the original sorely lacks. However, the vehicle's ER Small Laser and machine guns are dropped.

The vehicle was amongst the few which were given then [[Classic BattleTech]] stats for use in the game, appearing in the Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I. It was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]]. Some of the information listed here was strictly from the dossier sheet produced for various characters profiles released with the MechWarrior game. == Gallery == <gallery> Scimitar MKII.jpg|Scimitar Mk.II from ''[[Technical Readout: 3145|TRO:3145]]'' Scimitar Mk2 MWDA.png|Original Scimitar Mk.II from ''[[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MWDA]]'' dossiers </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Master Unit List]]'' * ''[http://cf.sarna.net/docs/mwda_dossiers/dark_age_14.pdf Lisabet Wolf & Scimitar MKII dossier]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine]]'' [[Category:35 ton Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Boosted C3 Equipped Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Light Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Draconis Combine Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Republic of the Sphere Combat Vehicles]]
