------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==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:==
Able to savage 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 a
Harvester 2K missile system, are fully 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.

The targeting problems found in previous production versions of the 'mech have
been corrected with the addition of new Garret computers.

==Variants:==
There is only one variant of the Palamedes. The 1E is commonly found in the
Capellan March, and removes the arm-mounted Flamers, along with a laser, the
missile system and a heat sink to make room for an LRM-10, enhancing the
'mechs long-range capability.

==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.
