The Black Mamba is a recent southern design which took the Northern armies by
surprise. The Mamba is a totally new machine, a rugged medium Gear designed to
replace the earlier "Medium-class" Basilisk Heavy Gear as the advanced model of
the Southern Alliance.
The Mamba can be compared favorably with the North's
Jaguar, although they are very different in concept. The Mamba uses a carbon
composite in its internal frame to reduce the quantity of metal needed in its
construction. It also sports rounded composite armor to better deflect incoming
rounds.
