==Description==
 
==Description==
Based on an old [[Star League]] design called the ''[[Sling]]'', the '''''Duan Gung''''' likely shares its roots with the ''[[Mist Lynx (Koshi)|Koshi]]'' [[OmniMech]], as the ''Sling'' shared many characteristics with both designs, and it is believed that the ''Sling'' was easily upgraded with [[OmniMech]] technology. The ''Duan Gung'' is a competent [[BattleMech#Light|light]] fire support [['Mech]], with a ground speed of 119 km/h and the ability to jump up to 180 meters, it is capable of keeping up with most other light 'Mechs. To save weight and allow the ''Duan Gung'' to carry as heavy an arsenal as possible, the 'Mech is built on a [[Chariot Type II]] [[endo steel]] chassis and is powered by an [[Omni 175]] [[XL engine]] that weighs half as much as its standard fusion counterpart. To handle the heat from its weapons, the ''Duan Gung'' has 10 [[double heat sink]]s, which are more than adequate for the 'Mech's needs. Finally, for protection from enemy fire, the ''Duan Gung'' carries four tons of [[Valiant DefCo]] armor, providing more than enough protection for the 'Mech's intended role.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

The ''Duan Gung'' is a competent light fire support [['Mech]]. With a ground speed of 119 km/h and the ability to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters, it is capable of keeping up with most other light 'Mechs. To save weight and allow the ''Duan Gung'' to carry as heavy an arsenal as possible, the 'Mech is built on a Chariot Type II [[Endo Steel]] chassis and is powered by an Omni 175 [[XL Engine]] that weighs half as much as its standard fusion counterpart. To handle the heat from its weapons, the ''Duan Gung'' has ten [[double heat sink]]s, which are more than adequate for the 'Mech's needs. Finally, for protection from enemy fire, the ''Duan Gung'' carries four tons of Valiant DefCo armor, providing more than enough protection for the 'Mech's intended role.
  
==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
The ''Duan Gung''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s primary weapon is a [[LRM-10#Zeus|Zeus]] [[LRM-10]] launcher, which allows the 'Mech to hit targets at up to 630 meters, while also giving the ''Duan Gung'' indirect fire support capabilities. For close-range engagements, the 'Mech has two [[Medium_laser#Martell|Martell]] [[medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRO:3060/>
