------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Based on an ancient Star League 'mech found in a weapons cache in late 3049,
the Palamedes was in early development when the Clan invasion started.
Desperate for new designs to combat the invaders, FedCom command ordered a
rush on the testing and deployment of the new design.

==Capabilities:==
Capable of savaging any 'mech at long range with its' twin M-7 Gauss Rifles,
the Palamedes is more than capable of shredding most 'mechs its' own size.

At closer ranges, the six Martell Model 5 Medium Lasers, backed up by four
Harmon Light Lasers, are more than capable of dealing with whatever is left
after the Gauss barrage. Anti-infantry defense is left to a pair of Zippo Mark
X Anti-Personnel flamers.

Unfortunately, the 'mechs rushed development cycle has left several bugs in
the electronics suite, sometimes causing "ghost" targets to appear on the
sensor screen. Technicians have been trying to work out the problems in the
field, but with little success.

==Deployment==
Almost all of the currently available Palamedes 'mechs have been rushed to the
Clan front. Production is leased into a binding contract with the Federated
Commonwealth, so no examples of the 'mech are found outside of the AFFC.
