Grand Dragon DRG-10K

The DRG-10K is a 60-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, a 3114 rebuild of the 3024 DRG-1G. An XL fusion engine replaces the base model's standard fusion plant, lifting cruising speed from 54 to 65 km/h and top speed from 86 to 97, while endo steel structure and anti-penetrative ablation armor take the place of the original's standard components. Where the DRG-1G carried a PPC in the right arm and a lone medium laser in the left, this variant fields a Snub-Nose PPC in the right arm and a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the left arm, and an MRM 20 with an Apollo missile fire-control system and CASE in the left torso stands in for the earlier machine's LRM 10 and paired medium lasers. It keeps the same low, hard-to-target silhouette and stable firing platform as the DRG-1G. Luthien Armor Works builds it at its Nykvarn facility, rather than the original Luthien line.
