==Overview:==
The Steel Vipers' ejection from the Inner Sphere was a major disgrace for
the Clan, who returned angry and spoiling for a fight in their homeworld
possessions. The last seven years have seen the Vipers embroiled in one
conflict after another, their external aggression an outlet for the bitter
internal politics that have wracked the Clan since 3060. The Viper Touman has
rebuilt since the disgrace, and a number of "new" designs have entered service
with the Clans, exploiting the resources and expertise gathered during the
invasion.
Perigard Zalman's contentious decision to allow freeborn warriors into
the Viper military seems to have born fruit. Bolstered second-line units have
taken over defensive operations, freeing front-line troops for offensive
operations. Equipping these new units has been a challenge, but the Vipers
were never ones to abandon a useful implement of war. In that tradition, the
Vipers have revamped a number of old designs. Chief among these is the Golden
Century-vintage Storm Giant that has been reborn as the Scylla, reentering
service in 3062 with new weapons and electronics.
==Capabilities:==
Like its progenitor, the 100-ton Scylla boasts a massive Type 50 XL power
plant that takes up over a quarter of the 'Mechs mass and gives a top speed of
almost 65 kph, despite carrying over 15 tons of armor. The addition of quad
Pryzhok jump jets further bolsters the Scylla's abilities. The Vipers have
used the speed and maneuverability of the design to overwhelm inexperienced
opponents who don't expect such performance from so massive a 'Mech.
Unfortunately, this performance has a price-namely the 'Mech's weapon
arrays. Though fearsome, they are little better than a design 30- or 40- tons
lighter. The heart of the array is the grouping of the twin "Great Bow" LRM
launchers and a KOV LB-X autocannon, which provide devastating firepower at
mid- to long-range brackets but have limited ammunition. A head-mounted Series
7K extended range large laser provides additional long-range firepower, but
many pilots are wary of using the weapon because its proximity to the cockpit
causes problems with heat buildup, despite an otherwise efficient heat
dissipation system. A pair of torso-mounted ER medium lasers provides
additional firepower at close and medium range.
==Variants:==
The Scylla A is an upgraded variation of the standard model. All the weapons
were stripped off and in their place two Streak LRM-20's with four tons of
ammo along with three ER-Medium Pulse Lasers and two ER-Micro Lasers
==Deployment==
The Tenth Assault Cluster on New Kent was the first Viper unit to receive
the Scylla. There they made good use of the design, repulsing numerous Ice
Hellion probes. In 3064, the long-expected Viper offensive against their
neighbors on New Kent saw widespread use of the Scylla, its maneuverability
allowing the heavy machine to make a surprise assault across the rugged
Shandrake Massif into the heart of the Hellion holdings, devastating the
enemy's 175th Assault Cluster. With typical poor grace, the Hellions
complained to the Grand Council, deriding the use of "freebirth" equipment and
blaming "Spheroid tactics" for their defeat. The other Clans simply listened
as Asa Taney validated the Hellion's nickname of "Clan Temper Tantrum." The
Scylla A was deployed in 3067.
