Overview:
Originally developed by Krupp Stellar Technologies for the Amaris Empire,
the Terran Hegemony-in-Exile aquired the design from an infiltration mission of
the companies Terran factories when ComStar order the Terran military
industrial complex rebuilt and mothballed.
Upgrading several items on the Dragoon over the years the design was placed
into limited production at the end of the Star League Civil War to replace
losses of equipment to combat and to transfers to the SLDF in order to keep
Kerensky's war machine moving.
In the 2900's when it was deemed nessessary to the survival of the Exile's
to begin production of military hardware on a larger scale the first of the
automated factories were retooled to produce several modified designs, one
being the the site on Inverness which began producing all four variants of the
Dragoon in limited batches.
As advancements in technology occured and the Hegemony reached what many
would call Clan Standard Technology early the Dragoon was one of several
BattleMechs redesigned to use the new technology.
Capabilities:
The DRG-01 Dragoon took shape replacing the Nissan 280 XL engine with a RHI
280XL shaving weight and space while replacing the designs 11.5 tons of
Ferro-Fiberous armor with a new lighter more compact design shaving a half ton
of armor from the design.
This allowed the Dragoon to add CASE to the ammunition bin on the -01 model
and swaped the Guardian ECM for the new Legion Battle Management System
allowing the Dragoon to share targeting, communitions and battle tracking of
both friendly and hostile force and full integration with Satillite based
systems allowed a Company to stay linked and share information.
When Omni-Technology was aquired the first OmniMech designed was the
Dragoon as a test bed. Already featuring many modular technologies like the
Mercury the Dragoon was quickly adapted into the Hegemony's standard Heavy
OmniMech.
The Primary variant like the -01 model is equipped with two LB-X Class 10
autocannons, an ER PPC and two ER Medium Lasers. Enhancing mobility are three
jump jets allowing for 90 meters of additional movement. This is the standard
variant.
The Alpha variant is a beast, with an Ultra Class 20 autocannon and three
tons of munitions, an extended range PPC and five extended range medium lasers
this model can challange even assault 'Mechs solo. The design also features a
small pulse laser and eight additional Heat Sinks.
The Bravo variant equipped as a ranged support 'Mech utilizes three LRM 20s
each with two tons of ammunition all protected in a CASE II bin. An ER Medium
laser along with a paird Medium and Small Pulse Laser, three additional Double
Heat Sinks and enough jump jets for 120 meters of additional mobility were
added.
The Charlie variant is equipped with a Gauss Rifle, ER PPC, two ER Medium
Lasers and two Streak SRM 4 packs. An anti-missile system and four additional
heat sinks keep this variant in the fight.
Deployment:
The Dragoon OmniMech made its combat debut on Marik with Duchess Ryan's
Royal Guard and has quickly begun filling front line losses throughout the HAF.
Unlike the other new designs none have been spotted in the the Toumans of
Clans Nova Cat and Wolve-in-Exile. This might be because of the OmniMech's
connection to Stephan Amaris and the fall of the first Star League. However
nearly a battalion have been spotted between the Davion Heavy Guards and the
1ST and 4TH Davion Guards.
This OmniMech is expected to be the most numerous of heavy designs within
the HAF.
