Overview
Up-and-coming [[Meridian Manufacturing]] has made some waves with its offering of the '''''Arbiter'''''. Though it is an unremarkable design in many ways, Meridian has been astonishingly successful in selling this creation; they have a six-month waiting list for orders, and are producing the ’Mech at a prodigious rate. Core to its success appears to be a keen understanding of what drives a pirate—or more specifically, what drives them away. Though it is a light WorkMech beneath, the '''''Arbiter''''' is carefully crafted with a rather gothic aesthetic to appear as imposing and aggressive as a heavier BattleMech.
