Grand Dragon DRG-7KC

The DRG-7KC is a 60-ton skirmisher, a 3077 rebuild of the 3024 DRG-1G that trades reach for sustained close-in punch. Where the DRG-1G carried a single medium laser in the left arm, this variant fields three ER medium lasers there, and the right arm's PPC becomes an ER PPC. In place of the LRM 10 and the two additional medium lasers, the left torso now carries an MML 5, and a 360 XL fusion engine lifts cruising speed from 54 to 65 km/h, with a MASC-boosted sprint reaching 130 km/h. The right torso adds a boosted C3 slave unit alongside the MASC, and light ferro-fibrous armor over an endo steel structure replaces the DRG-1G's standard armor and structure. It keeps the low, hard-to-target silhouette and stable firing platform of the original, and Luthien Armor Works now builds it at Nykvarn rather than Luthien.
