Description

The Grand Dragon is the successful follow-up to the Dragon 'Mech. The 'Mech is built to engage an enemy at long range with a low ammunition dependence. The 'Mech is capable of reaching ground speeds of up to 97.2 kph. The 'Mech is also equipped with double heat sinks to dissipate the large amounts of heat produced by its impressive weapons array and is armored with ten tons of armor.

Armament

The Grand Dragon carries a Lord's Light 2 ER PPC as its primary weapon. The ER PPC is backed up by a Telos DecaCluster LRM-10 which gives the 'Mech an impressive and formidable long-range striking capability. If a 'Mech gets into close ranges, the 'Mech carries three Victory 23R Medium Lasers for defense.

Variants

  • DRG-1G - Arguably the original Grand Dragon This 'Mech is a variant of the original Dragon 'Mech. The 'Mech is armed with a PPC and LRM-10 launcher. The 'Mech is also armed with a trio of Medium Lasers. The 'Mech is also capable of achieving a top speed of only 86.4 kph. BV (1.0) = 997
  • DRG-7K - The 7K is built using an Endo Steel chassis. The 'Mech carries a XL Engine for power which is linked to a MASC system. This allows the Grand Dragon to move at speeds of up to 129.6 kph in short bursts. The 'Mech is armed with an ER PPC as its primary weapon. For support, the 'Mech carries an MRM-10 as its secondary weapon. The 'Mech also carries three ER Medium Lasers as close combat weapons. Finally, the 'Mech has a C3 slave unit that allows it to share targeting information with friendly units. BV (1.0) = 1,280
  • DRG-C - Modified specifically to carry a C3 slave unit into combat, the DRG - C is a modification of the DRG-5K. The 'Mech carries a C3 slave in the place of one of its Medium Lasers. While this does reduce the Grand Dragons short range firepower somewhat, it also makes the far more accurate when working in a C3 lance. BV (1.0) = 1,154
