Overview:
In 3055, Luthien Armor Works (LAW) had ceased production of the Dragon, having
retooled most of the Dragon facilities to produce Grand Dragons instead.
However, the company did set aside a couple of facilities in Luthien to
experiment with the Dragon chassis. After the Clan invasion, LAW would modify
those facilities to upgrade still-functional Dragon battlemechs as part of the
DCMS rebuild, resulting in the DRG-6K variant.
Capabilities:
The DRG-6K retains the Telos DecaCluster LRM-10 launcher in the center torso,
as well as the two Victory 23R Medium Lasers; however, the Autocannon on the
right arm was replaced with an Imperator Dragon's Fire Gauss Rifle, and another
Medium Laser was added in the right torso. Both the Gauss Rifle and the LRM-10
launcher have two tons of ammo to draw from, all of them stored in the right
torso and protected by CASE.
In order to increase the firepower without sacrificing speed, the engine was
replaced with a Hermes 300XL version. Protection was also upgraded by using 11
tons of New Samarkand Royal Ferro Fibrous armor, and the heat sinks were upgraded to
double heat sinks to keep the cool-running profile, just like the original
Dragon.
Deployment:
The DRG-6K is primarily deployed by the DCMS, often used as replacements for
older Dragons or Grand Dragons.
Variants:
Despite being a variant of the original Dragon, the DRG-6K has also spawn
several sub-variants:
DRG-6KM - this sub-variant has a similar armament as the Grand Dragon, but
increases the double heat sinks to 15, and also utilizes a C3 Master Computer.
This sub-variant is not very popular.
DRG-6KN - this sub-variant drops one ton of armor in exchange for a C3
Slave. Often matched with the DRG-6KM.
