Description[edit]

Designed by two engineers from Fredonian Industrial Technologies, Gittleman and Abzug, the Anubis was originally designed to complement the Osiris BattleMech in use by the Federated Suns. They turned to Detroit Consolidated MechWorks only after the design was turned down by Achernar BattleMechs. The 'Mech incorporates a large number of advanced technologies that reached the Capellan Confederation's allies in the Magistracy of Canopus and Taurian Concordat. The Anubis is built on a weight-saving Detroit Type III endo steel chassis and saves further weight with a powerful Ceres Motors 240 XL engine that gives the Anubis a top speed of 129.6 km/h. Protection is provided by five and a half tons of Hellespont Lite stealth armor, making the Anubis extremely hard to hit at long range. In addition, a Guardian ECM suite is used for protection against advanced electronic warfare systems.[1]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The Anubis is armed as an effective light fire support 'Mech. Its primary weapons are four Sian-Ceres Jaguar LRM-5 launchers, allowing the 'Mech to provide long range fire support for other light 'Mechs. For close combat, the Anubis has a Diverse Optics ER small laser.[1]

Variants[edit]

  • ABS-5Y
    This version of the Anubis developed in Introduction Year::3121[11] reduces the top speed to 118 km/h and allows the weapons load to change. The 5Y uses two LRM-5 launchers for missile support and deployment of Thunder rounds, while each arm carries a Light PPC. This weapons load encourages the pilot to engage in long-range duels, where the eight and a half tons of stealth armor is most effective.[12] BV (2.0) = 1,042[13][14][11]
