P Y T H O N - mK I I

The Python Mk II is a somewhat larger version of the original Python with a new, more powerful engine and upgraded, reactive armor. The Python was originally designed as a reconnaissance vehicle with quick mobility and a good arms package enabling it to protect itself for extended periods of time.

The Mk II came about due to the increase in enemy unit strength. The Mk II has been outfitted with reactive armor and automated defense systems along with a high velocity impact 50 caliber machine gun, 40mm grenade launcher and Charon rocket pods. The Python in addition to a traditional turbine engine is outfitted with electric hub motors to enable it to move stealthily when required to do so.

In this picture the Python has been dispatched to the flooded remains of coastal city 19 to investigate the disappearance of several arms transport. Like many of the modern vehicles today, the Python has to ability to operate autonomously and stake out areas on patrol for extended periods of time. Picture here it is entering hour 217 of this particular operation.

tHE bASILISK hUNTER kILLER

The Basilisk Hunter Killer is a light and fast Mech Interceptor. Armed with a Python Rail Gun system the Basilisk can target very specific areas of an enemy unit with startling accuracy. Even though quite a few Mech cockpits are armored to give the pilot maximum protection, the Python Rail gun has adequate punch enough to go through a good portion of the armor that is out there and being utilized.

The main drawback is that targeting takes somewhat longer to achieve a lock so many Basilisks will have support units providing protection when possible. Pictured here is a Badger APC with a 20mm Auto Cannon mounted on top to provide over watch.

bADGER aPC

The Badger APC is a battlefield workhorse charged with everything from troop transport to supplies. Some Badgers are mounted with weapons such as the one pictured here and have proved fairly good in a firefight despite only having medium armor. The rugged suspension and durability have made it a favorite that is still in use on the battlefield today.

wOLF sPIDER dRONE

The Wolf Spider, a medium sized, all terrain vehicle specifically designed for Mech hunting. Here it is poised, ready to strike any unfortunate Mech that wanders into its web. Armed with duel auto cannons and rocket pods, the Wolf Spider is one of the main things that most seasoned Mech pilots fear.
