After an exchange with House Liao led to the Taurian Concordat receiving several warehouses full of Assassin ASN-30s (salvage from House Steiner that the Liaos no longer wanted), the Taurians struggled to figure out what to use them for, eventually settling on the ASN-65 refit. Swapping the -30's Light Fusion Engine for an easier to acquire XL, and adding Light Ferro-Fibrous armor, the Taurians kept the mech's high maneuverability while also squeezing on a Light PPC and twin MML-5 launchers, giving the ASN-65 respectable throw at any range. 10 DHS keep the mech cooled and the armor is as heavy as it can be.

Description

The -23 variant of the Assassin is an upgrade of the original model using Lostech; originally seen as a standardized field modification. The SRM-2 has been removed to upgrade the Medium Laser to a Medium Pulse Laser and an Artemis IV fire control system has been added for the LRM-5 launcher.

Description

The -30 variant of the Assassin was a radical departure from the classic formula for the 'Mech. The chassis was redesigned to utilize Endo Steel construction and the engine upgraded to a Light Fusion Engine. The saved weight was used to upgrade the Medium Laser to an extended range version and the missiles are removed in favor of an LB-X Autocannon/5. Additionally, the armor had been increased by two full tons. Used by the Lyran side of the FedCom Civil War, this design is considered a failure and few of them were ever produced.

Description

A rare brawler variant of the raider Assassin, the -45 was developed by the Draconis Combine to upgrade their old ASN-21s and turn them into formidable light hunters and passable brawlers. The -45 carries a trio of Streak SRM 4s and a pair of Machine Guns, giving the mech a surprising punch for its size. However, that speed and firepower came at a price: the mech has, characteristically for Assassins, terrible armor which combined with its fragile XL engine lead to the design never seeing wide use. Additionally, due to a shortage, the mech does not carry double heat sinks making it prone to overheating in the thick of combat.

Description

Made for the Capellan's Shadow Lances, the Assassin-55 is a surprisingly advanced mech used for a very un-advanced purpose: assassinations. Clad in Stealth Armor and built on a Light Engine and Composite structure, the ASN-55 is built to hunt and kill choice targets. To guarantee the targets die as intended, the ASN-55 can bring 30 Rocket Launcher tubes to bear while a Narc Launcher with Haywire ammo debiliates the target. A pair of ER Medium Lasers provide reliable backup. Sturdy armoring and traditional Assassin speed round out the package.

Description

Keeping the top speed of the ASN-21 as well as its base weapon load of missiles, the ASN-101 is a rare Federated Suns variant that drops two jump jets and a half ton of armor to mount a trio of Small Lasers, giving the ASN-101 a much better close-in punch compared to its progenitor.
