==Description==
Developed by the [[Federated Suns]] in [[3149]] from the original JR7-31 ''[[Rattlesnake]]'' yet ten tons heavier and built with cutting-edge Clan-spec components thanks to [[Clan Sea Fox]], the '''''Rattlesnake II''''' is a heavily armed and armored reconnaissance, ambush and raiding 'Mech.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Rattlesnake II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main armament is a suite of [[Clan]] ER lasers — two medium, one small — backed up by four regular [[medium laser]]. 14 Clan-spec [[double heat sink]]s keep its heat in check. A [[MASC]] systems allows for bursts of extra speed on an already fast design with a jump capacity of 210 meters. It also features a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].<ref name=S9/>

Stated [[quirks]] for the ''Rattlesnake II'' are "Rugged (2)" and "No/Minimal Arms".<ref name=S9/>

==Variants==
*; RSN-2 Rattlesnake II : Following up on design ideas that for one reason or another could not be incorporated into the original RSN-1, the RSN-2 features [[Stealth Armor]] at the cost of some armor and downgrading the loadout to altogether six regular medium lasers and a standard [[small laser]].
