Atlas AS7-S2

The Atlas AS7-S2 is a 100-ton assault that fights at long range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54 - unchanged from the AS7-D introduced in 2755, though the S2 dates to 3061 and trades that juggernaut's brawling loadout for a sniper's reach. Where the AS7-D carries a medium laser in each arm, the AS7-S2 mounts an ER Large Laser in the Left Arm and another in the Right Arm, and in place of the LRM 20 and SRM 6 in the left torso it fields a single LRM 15 there, backed by an Artemis IV fire-control system and a Guardian ECM suite. The AC/20 in the right torso and the paired rear-facing medium lasers in the center torso are gone, replaced by a Heavy Gauss Rifle in the Center Torso. A light fusion engine replaces the standard fusion plant of the same 300 rating, CASE lines both the left and right torsos, and the type still carries reinforced battle fists on both arms and enhanced communications gear as a command 'Mech. Defiance Industries builds it at Hesperus II.
