Dervish DV-6M

The Dervish DV-6M is a 55-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 2570 rebuild of the 2520 original with a heavier 275 fusion engine that raises cruising speed from 43 to 54 km/h and top speed from 65 to 86 km/h; its jump range also extends from 90 to 150 metres. Standard armor plating replaces the DV-1S's primitive protection, and each arm now adds a Medium Laser alongside the SRM 2, giving the design close-in punch it previously lacked. The paired LRM 10 racks in the left and right torso carry over from the original. The type is known for hyper-extending arm actuators and remains an easily-serviced design, and it is built by Achernar BattleMechs among other manufacturers.
