[SIL-5V Silhouette] Mass: 50 tons Chassis: Endo Steel Power Plant: Vlar 300 XL Cruising Speed: 65 kph Maximum Speed: 97 kph Jump Jets: None Jump Capacity: None Armor: Titan Strike-X Plating Armament: 10 Warlord Amputator Medium Lasers Manufacturer: Elisist Industries Inc. Primary Factory: Terra Communications System: Elisist/Warlord C3 Network Targeting and Tracking System: Warlord Killer Crosshair System OVERVIEW If the Overseer is the king of Elisist's C3 network, then the Silhouette is its messanger. Fast-moving, the Silhouette packs a comprable weapons load to the Overseer, formidable armor, and excellent speed, making.it an extremely compotent medium 'Mech. As the designated command 'Mech for the Recon Lance of the C3 network started by the Overseer, the Silhouette fufills its role excellently, and is a fine addition to any unit, though best in units that can take full advantage of its C3 command system. CAPABILITIES Like the Overseer, the primary armament of the Silhouette is medium lasers. The lasers are mostly grouped in the torso reigon, although some are stored on the arms and in the head. The top speed of Silhouette makes the arsenal slightly easier to bring into range than the comprable armament on the Overseer. Also, unlike the Overseer, the 'Mech can handle the firing of all its lasers at once without any heat spike. In addition, the Silhouette is a well-armored 'Mech for its class, and appreciably fast. The core of its design, however, is the C3 command computer it houses, which allows it to effectively coordinate the efforts of the entire Recon Lance. Equally suited to fighting as to recon, the Silhouette is tied into the Overseer's network, and then creates its own seperate network (at least, on paper). DEPLOYMENT As Elisist's C3 network is still incomplete, the Silhouette had not had massive deployment yet. Forces in both the Draconis Combine and the Lyran Commonwealth are beginning to purchase both Overseers and Silhouettes in anticipation of future releases. The Fire Lance commander is due out soon, which makes everyone all the more interested.
