Description
The Dragon was originally designed in a bid to replace the Shadow Hawk. After the 'Mech was turned down by the SLDF the design was picked up by the Draconis Combine in 2754. The Dragon is primarily built for long-range combat but is capable of handling most threats that close to shorter ranges. With a ground speed of 86.4 kph the Dragon is capable of dictating the ranges that an enemy can engage. Finally the Dragon is protected by ten tons of armor.
Armament
The Dragons primary weapon is an Imperator-A Autocannon/5. The Autocannon, along with the Telos DecaCluster LRM 10 launcher, gives the Dragon respectable long-range damage capabilities. Additionally the Long Range Missiles give the Dragon indirect fire capabilities. For close combat the Dragon carries two Victory 23R Medium Lasers, one of which is rear mounted.
Variants
- DRG-1C - The 1C Dragon replaces the Autocannon/5 with a longer range Autocannon/2. The 'Mech has also had three additional tons of armor protection added. This allows the Dragon to have a ever further direct fire reach while reducing the direct fire capability at range by sixty percent. BV (1.0) = 1,021, BV (2.0) = 1,215
- DRG-5N - The 5N varaint of the Dragon is an upgrade with Star League technology. The Autocannon has been upgraded to an Ultra Autocannon/5 which allows it to fire at twice the rate as a standard autocannon. Additionally the rear firing Medium Laser has been removed from the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,053, BV (2.0) = 1,223
