DRG-2K Dragon History: Shortly after General Aleksandr Kerensky assumed the mantle of Protector of the Star League, serving as regent for a young Richard Cameron, the SLDF requested proposals to replace its antiquated 55-ton Shadow Hawk. At this point the Shadow Hawk had been in continuous serve since 2467, making it one of the longest serving designs in the Inner Sphere and had not undergone a serious revision since the release of the -2H in 2550. Luthien Armor Works was the first to respond, submitting its 60-ton DRG-1C Dragon by 2752. Armed with an Imperator Smoothie-2 Class 2 autocannon in the right arm and equipped with a Telos DecaCluster LRM-10 for fire support, the design carried an amazing thirteen tons of armor making it almost as heavily protected as the vaunted 65-ton Thunderbolt and far surpassing anything else in its class. It also carried a pair of Victory 23R medium lasers, one rear mounted, to round out its armament. However, unwilling to see their cash cow slaughtered, Lang Industries, the sole manufacturer of the venerable Shadow Hawk, pulled out all the stops with the submission of their SHD-2Hb “Royal” Shadow Hawk. Located on Caph, one of the major BattleMech research and development centers for the Star League, Lang Industries utilized the absolute latest technological advancements in the -2Hb. Armed with a Luballin Ballistics 10-X autocannon, including both slug and cluster rounds, along with a pair of state-of-the-art Streak SRM-2 missile launchers, the -2Hb is built on an Endo-Steel chassis and protected by Ferro-Fibrous armor. An additional Martell medium laser was also added and it uses eleven dual heatsinks to keep heat levels well in check. When the two BattleMechs were compared, the results were obvious. The “Royal” Shadow Hawk performed far above and beyond the DRG-1C in every single performance category. Coupled with the fact that many of the components, such as the actuators, electronics, engine, and exhaust ports among others, were interchangeable with the SLDF’s existing inventory of SHD-2H Shadow Hawks, the decision was an easy one to make. Ironically, the SHD-2H is still produced today by Earthwerks Incorporated even though Lang Industries’ factories on Caph have long been destroyed. After the Dragon was rejected by the Star League Defense Force, Takiro Kurita, the Coordinator of the Draconis Combine, quickly stepped in. Sensing trouble on the horizon and anxious for BattleMechs to bolster the regiments of the Mustered Soldiery, Coordinator Kurita wasted little time in contracting with Luthien Armor Works for as many Dragons as they could produce. Still smarting from their loss to the upgraded Shadow Hawk, the engineers at LAW decided to upgrade the Imperator Smoothie-2 to the larger Imperator-A Class 5 autocannon at the expense of some of the ‘Mechs heavy armor. The newly christened DRG-1N joined the DCMS in 2752 and remains a mainstay of the DCMS to this day. The Dragon is also noted for its squat design, ample rear armor, and is one of the few ‘Mechs with rear mounted weaponry standard. This makes the Dragon a fearsome brawler, capable of wading into the thick of battle with little fear of being surrounded. In fact, the low center of gravity makes the Dragon a difficult ‘Mech to knock down and the autocannon is protected by an armored sleeve allowing the MechWarrior to use it for physical attacks with little chance of damaging the weapon. On the other side, the hip actuators are known to be problematic requiring frequent maintenance and must be completely overhauled on a regular basis. Capabilities: The Draconis Combine has far fewer BattleMech production facilities than any other Successor State. Consequently, they have become masters of doing more with less. When Luthien Armor Works was asked to develop a companion model for their DRG-1N, they only had to look as far as their own extensive factory complex. Repurposing the Pitban 240 used in their downgraded LNC-25-02 Lancelot, engineers at LAW freed up 7.5 tons of space by lowering the Dragon’s top speed to 65 kph. This allowed them to upgrade the autocannon once more, this time to the Imperator-B Class 10 model. The 69 original LRM-10 is also upgraded to a PentaDecaCluster LRM-15. It retains both medium lasers, moving the rear mounted one to the forward arc and a new rear facing Victory 12R small laser now discourages any opponents who manage to get behind it. And additional heat sink has also been added. The result is a heavy ‘Mech with significantly more firepower and improved fire support capability. When partnered with the original, and faster DRG-1N, the marginal loss of speed is neutralized and when working together, they make a devastating team. Variants: The original DRG-1C carries an Imperator Smoothie-2 autocannon and three tons of additional armor.
