==Description & History==
The '''''Kiso''''' was created as a "command" construction vehicle for large planetary construction projects in the [[Draconis Combine]].  Built in the middle of the golden years of the [[Star League]], the vehicle is intended to allow an on-site supervisor to run his machine, while being able to access planetary networks to gain permits, communicate to workers, and multitask other assorted projects while supervising 'Mech-related manual tasks.<ref name=TRO3075/>

The four-legged IndustrialMech fell on hard times when the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] broke out, because all three main factories it was produced at were destroyed. By the [[3050]]s, Osaka Heavy Metrics acquired the means to produce the revolutionary communication equipment and command console in it.<ref name=TRO3075/>

==Variants==
*; K-3N-KR5 : Variant of the ''Kiso'' designed for excavating tasks. The rock-cutter is replaced with a [[backhoe]] and its heavy pile driver with a [[Dual Saw|dual cutting saw]]. The machine is very rare, only ten remain in service after the fall of the [[Star League]]. The company plant on [[Togura]] is able produce them, but only by special order; it was introduced [[2703]].<ref name=TRO3075/><ref name=MUL-KR5>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/1803 Master Unit List: profile for Kiso ConstructionMech]</ref> BV (2.0) = 959<ref name=MUL-KR5/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 207</ref>; 1,091<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 104</ref>
 
  
*; K-3N-KRHQ : This ''Kiso'' "CommandMech" variant removes the right torso pile driver and lift hoist and left torso rock cutter to make room for a [[collapsible command module]] and a trio of [[machine gun]]s with a half-ton of ammunition. It retains the [[cockpit command console]] of the standard ''Kiso''.<ref name=XTRO:SWp9>''Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars, Volume 1'', pp. 9, 24</ref> BV (2.0) = 959<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/1803/kiso-k-3n-kr5-constructionmech Master Unit List profile for Kiso CommandMech variant - Includes BV2 stat.]</ref>
