Description and History
A Heavy Mining IndustrialMech created by Achernar BattleMechs in 3057. The design was based on an older Succession War design known as the Dig King. The design was almost produced uninterrupted till the FedCom Civil War, until the ordered otherwise by Archon-Princess Katrina Steiner-Davion. The Archon-Prince had required the company to produce more military models. The company stopped production for a period of two years, but never re-tooled. This allowed the design to continue production.[1]

- Deep Lord MilitiaMech - Produced by Bristol SalvageWorks a small salvage operation in the Magistracy of Canopus, the Deep Lord is a Dig Lord that has been refitted with weapons and armor to supplement regular military forces. The treads, rock cutter, mining drill, and fluid guns have been removed and replaced with a Mace and an SRM-6 launcher in the torso. Additional firepower comes from the Heavy Rifle carried in a BattleMech Turret on the left torso. Though protected by eight tons of Heavy Industrial Armor, the Deep Lord will not last long on the modern battlefield as it's slow, poorly armed, and lacks an ejection seat. However it is likely to drive off bandits and pirates while simultaneously being one of the cheapest units on the battlefield. For that reason it has been sold to many small mercenary commands, city-states, and corporations working in the Periphery. BV (2.0) = 715[2]
