While most Solitaires opt for dropping a high alpha strike and scurrying out of the fray, this one has significantly more sustain with its [[UAC5]] enabling it to have significantly higher DPS, especially coupled with its fast recycling [[SSRM2]]s assisting in close engagements. A single [[cERML]] keeps the Solitaire's burst alpha somewhat relevant at 700m as well. | While most Solitaires opt for dropping a high alpha strike and scurrying out of the fray, this one has significantly more sustain with its [[UAC5]] enabling it to have significantly higher DPS, especially coupled with its fast recycling [[SSRM2]]s assisting in close engagements.

The 25 ton Solitaire is the fastest mech in the game, being able to reach 150 km/h speed without MASC. It has similar weapon concept to a Hollander II, by typically having one large weapon mounted in its left torso followed by smaller weapons on the arms. Many Solitaire variants can be used as strikers using the speed and hard hitting weapons to deal a blow then quickly fading from the line of sight before enemy has a chance to retaliate.
All Solitaire variants have non-standard armor distribution for Left and Right Torsos. Compared to the standard mirror image armor distribution, the Solitaire's right torso has sacrificed 25% of it's armor to shore up the armor of the left torso by the same amount.

- Warlord Kentax
Variant B

History
The Solitaire released with MWLL Beta 0.7.0. It was first shown in the MWLL 0.7.0 New Assets forum thread and was a complete surprise.
Canon
The Solitaire was a very fast, energy weapon-only 25-ton Mech designed by Clan Diamond Shark in 3067 using every weight-saving measure possible: ferro-fibrous armor, an endo-steel chassis and an extralight (XL) engine. This in of itself was a departure for the Clan in its design philosophies, as the Diamond Sharks were well-known for their frugality in Battlemech designs. The Solitaire made use of heavy laser technology originally developed by Clan Star Adder in 3059, mounting one heavy large laser, two mediums and a small laser. Despite its powerful bite, the Solitaire's ten double heatsinks were wholly unable to dissipate the massive waste heat generated by an alpha strike.
Date Introduced 3064 during the Era known as "Civil War" (3062 - 3067) - Unit Role: Striker
