Description

Originally produced as a bodyguard unit for the St. Ives Compact military, the Helios was also produced under contract by Ceres Metals for ComStar and eventually found its way out into the wider Inner Sphere as a reliable, simple, bodyguard mech. A top speed of 64 kph combined with quad Jump Jets gives it moderate mobility for its assault mech charges. The armor is a light but functional 9 tons. For firepower, the Helios has a Gauss Rifle and a pair each ER Medium Lasers and SRM-6s. The Helios found wide acceptance and can be found on many battlefields.

Description

Originally produced as a bodyguard unit for the St. Ives Compact military, the Helios was also produced under contract by Ceres Metals for ComStar and eventually found its way out into the wider Inner Sphere as a reliable, simple, bodyguard mech. A top speed of 64 kph combined with quad Jump Jets gives it moderate mobility for its assault mech charges. A more energy weapon dependent version of the Helios, the 4A strips all of the 'Mech's weapons and adds two tons of armor. It has an ER PPC as its primary weapon backed up by two Medium Lasers and an MRM-20 launcher.
