================================================================================================
Overview:
    Yet another quadrapedal battlemech proposed, designed, and fielded by the veteran Star
    Captain Kalo Osis, the Spitting Spider was designed as a mobile heavy missile platofrom. The
    prototype was ready in 3063, and it became an official design in 3067, issued to defender
    and long range fire support units

Capabilities:
    Being a missile platform, the Spitting Spider employs the Arrow IV System in a series of
    vertical launch tubes with an astounding twenty five missiles to keep it firing until the
    end. A pair of LRM 15 packs in back leg launchers provide extra support, and a PPC is
    mounted on the torso. For close in action, it packs a pair of SRM 4 launchers in the
    foreward legs and a small laser in the head, so the Spitting Spider needs to be supported by
    other mechs. All the long range weaponry is slaved to an advanced Targeting Computer.

Deployment:
    A star is currently employed by the former 1st Wolf Striker Grenadiers (Now Part of Clan Ice
    Hellions), and another star is currently under production in a hidden mech production
    facility.
