	Solaris VII hangs in the Solaris system, which happens to sit on the border of the [[Free Worlds League]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. It is a rainy, water-rich world with only two continents; Greyland and Equatus. Greyland is the larger continent, with the planetary capital, Solaris City, stamped right in the middle. It is the constantly rain-slicked beating heart of the entire world's operations and events, with most of its prospective Champions and event coordinating happening right here. It also features a litany of tourist attractions based around the BattleMech and the many, many, many ways you can get in on the fun of the planet's feature attraction. Equatus in contrast, is a mountainous, arid place where people are content to live their lives as simple farm folk, but are often a place where you can enjoy far more personal, grittier competition.

	* '''''Daedalus''''' - based off the original Phoenix Hawk, it had an upgraded large laser and missile racks while using speed to avoid being scrapped.

			* '''''Great Turtle''''' - A nigh-unkillable quadruped monstrosity birthed from the minds of VEST. 40 out of its 100 tons of weight are due to its experimental Hardened Armor. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of it being as slow as its namesake and a less weapons than a Medium (Four Pulse Lasers, one large and 3 mediums).
	* '''''Koto''''' - based off the Locust (which is just as prolific, light, and fast as it's name sake), it was born based off the numerous amount of scrapped Locust parts found all over Solaris VII and the Inner Sphere. While featuring upgraded armor, reallocated internals, and more free space for bigger guns, it still retains [[FAIL\|old patchwork]] electronics from its parent and can be prone to random breakdowns due to it's origin as a salvage rework based on recovered parts.		* '''''Koto''''' - based off the Locust (which is just as prolific, light, and fast as it's name sake), it was born based off the numerous amount of scrapped Locust parts found all over Solaris VII and the Inner Sphere.

	* '''''Prometheus''''' - A one of a kind 'Mech developed by the New Avalon Research Institute. While it was frail due to its makeshift nature, it was a monster in the arena thanks to its Clan guns and unique interface systems, which allowed an untrained scientist to fight like a Trueborn. It had, besides a lot of looted Clan tech, a unique form of control system known as the Direct Neural Interface, which allowed the pilot to control Battlemechs like they were part of their own body.		* '''''Prometheus''''' - A one of a kind 'Mech developed by the New Avalon Research Institute.

After it was stolen by the Prometheus' pilot and rogue scientist Burke Kale, it was modified so he'd have a more "pure" DNI link with the 'Mech than the one he had before. Unfortunately for Kale, the Prometheus' impurity was the one thing that kept him sane. He went completely mad due to his newfound power (and lots of brain damage due to the DNI) and went on a rampage across Solaris like a gorilla on PCP, culminating in him destroying an entire city district before he was stopped. While Kale survived, his brain was fried by his creation and he ended up in a coma.		** '''''Epimetheus''''' - The closest thing BattleTech has ever had to a Japanese-style "Super Robot".

	* '''''Prowler''''' - Created for the Clan embassy's Zellbrigen Stables (which served as an outlet for bored Clan Warriors stationed at the facility while managed by Sea Fox merchants), it was ironically based off the Wolverine BattleMech with a lightened internals for upgraded armor and ClanTech weapons. Seeing how the IIC version of the Wolverine Mech was called the "Conjurer" to avoid connotations with the taboo Not-Named Clan, the developers wisely renamed the Mech to be Prowler instead.		* '''''Prowler''''' - Created for the Clan embassy's ''Zellbrigen'' Stables (which served as an outlet for bored Clan Warriors stationed at the facility while managed by Sea Fox merchants), it was ironically based off the Wolverine BattleMech with a lightened internals for upgraded armor and ClanTech weapons.

	* '''''Ronin''''' - Based off the Centurion, the engineers figured it'd be quicker to just reuse schematics and know-how from a previous BattleMech design than reinvent the wheel.

It has weapons for all ranges that are perfect to heat it up and empower its Triple Strength Myomer muscles to swing even harder. Its sole disadvantage is that due to it being hand-built from scratch, it needs a lot of maintenance, making it a hangar queen.
