Overview:
    When Ceres Metals' Snake was released,
    lance commanders found the Snake to be
    a very useful mech beyond of its'
    intended mission of countering the clan
    elementals. The one drawback of the
    Snake was that it was too slow to keep up
    with a lance oflight mechs. Ceres
    Metals introduced the Viper to fill this
    role. By placing the mech on a smaller
    frame, using the GM 210 XL engine, and
    Starshield Ferro-Fibrous armor, they
    were able to increase its' speed. In order
    to keep the Mydron Excel LB-lOX
    Autocannon, the mech had to reduce the
    number ofHovertech Streak SRM 2's
    carried from three to one. Jump jets
    became another victim, as the frame
    could not support there additional
    weight. The addition of a small laser in
    the head addressed the mechs' total
    reliance on ammunition.
