Viper (Black Python)

The Viper (Black Python) is a 75-ton heavy that fights close in, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86, with a jump range of 150 metres. It carries a pair of machine guns in the left arm, and both torsos mirror each other with a Large Pulse Laser, a Medium Pulse Laser, and two Small Pulse Lasers apiece. A targeting computer sits in the right arm, and the design runs on endo steel structure under ferro-fibrous armor with 13 double heat sinks. New Kent Armorworks builds it at Celebes, with additional production at Albion's New Bergan complex.
