Description
The Great Wyrm was one of the first uniquely Clan BattleMechs ever developed. Clan Mongoose scientists used the specifications for the Dragon as the basis for their new creation, and were able to update it to their liking in a little more than a year. The Great Wyrm first saw action in 2844 against Clan Star Adder and it soon found its way into the toumans of every Clan. With the development of the OmniMech, however, the Great Wyrm was reduced to a solahma unit and production finally ceased in 2872.
In creating the Great Wyrm, the Mongoose creators reduced the Dragon's weight by fifteen tons. It mounts a corresponding seven tons of armor.
Armament
For long-range, the Great Wyrm makes use of a Mk. 44 LRM-10 and a pair of Series GAA-22 Rapid Fire Cannons. The design uses its speed to stay out of the range of most enemies' guns while peppering them with these. If any enemy manages to close, or if the ammunition is expended, the Great Wyrm also mounts a pair of Series 1 Mk. 3 ER Medium Lasers and Series 1 Mk. 2 ER Small Lasers.
