Description
The Dragon was originally designed in a bid to replace the Shadow Hawk. After the 'Mech was turned down by the SLDF, the design was picked up by the Draconis Combine in 2754. The Dragon is primarily built for long-range combat but is capable of handling most threats that close to shorter ranges. With a ground speed of 86.4 kph, the Dragon is capable of dictating the ranges that an enemy can engage. Finally, the Dragon is protected by ten tons of armor.
Armament
The Dragons primary weapon is an Imperator-A Autocannon/5. The Autocannon, along with the Telos DecaCluster LRM-10 launcher, gives the Dragon respectable long-range damage capabilities. Additionally, the Long Range Missiles give the Dragon indirect fire capabilities. For close combat, the Dragon carries two Victory 23R Medium Lasers, one of which is rear mounted.
Variants
- DRG-1C - The 1C Dragon replaces the Autocannon/5 with a longer range Autocannon/2. The 'Mech also has three additional tons of armor protection. This allows the Dragon to have an ever further direct fire reach, while reducing the direct fire capability at range by sixty percent. BV (1.0) = 1,021, BV (2.0) = 1,215
- DRG-5N - The 5N variant of the Dragon is an upgrade which utilizes Star League technology. The Autocannon has been upgraded to an Ultra Autocannon/5 which allows it to fire at twice the rate as a standard autocannon. Additionally, the rear facing Medium Laser has been removed from the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,053, BV (2.0) = 1,223
