==Overview:==
While originally intended as an arena mech, the losses all Houses have
sustained over the course of the last few conflicts have resulted in even
arena mechs being pressed into service.

In the case of the Daedalus, the decision was made to use this as a fire
support mech capable of getting in and out of conflict at high speed.

A major flaw noted was that the jump jets were not mounted evenly and that
this caused trouble with balance in flight. The jets were re-positioned to
help solve this problem, but created the additional problem of what to do with
the displaced SRM 6. The decision was made to trade it out for an LRM 5 and
mount it in the center torso where the SRM 6 had once been; this, coupled with
the RL 10, this gave the Daedalus some much-needed long-range punch.

The decision was also made to change up the energy weapons. The large pulse
laser and small laser were deleted. In their place, the decision was made to
mount a standard large laser, an ECM suite to protect the mech, and some
additional armor. 

==Variants:==
The 2B variant makes use of a BAP instead of the ECM; this version functions
more along the lines of a hunter-killer instead of a true fire support unit.

The 2C variant has a C3 Slave and mounts an additional RL-10. The 2CA uses a
TAG instead of the C3 Slave.
