Overview:
    
The Iron Dogs Mercenary Group was interested in an inexpensive "attack dog" that could go
    deep inside enemy lines, out survive its competition, and not need re-supplies. They could
    not find what they were looking for, and after the War of 3039, the Iron Dogs were fortunate
    to quietly steal away with many disgruntled employees of Odin Manufacturing from the Orestes
    System. The mercenaries protected and enriched those engineers as well as their families in
    a quieter corner of the Inner Sphere. Together, they built the Rottweiler. 


Capabilities:
    
The Rottweiler is the second design of the Iron Dogs and the bigger brother of the Pit
    Bull. It was designed very similarly to the Pit Bull to save money and design time. The
    Rottweiler can fire all its weapons and jump 120 meters without suffering the negative
    effects of heat.  It has both long and short range capabilities without needing resupplies
    on longer missions. The long range firing is enhanced with a targeting computer.
    
    As a mercenary group, money is always an issue. They engineered the Rottweiler around
    cheaper and more available technology for easier repair and faster builds - except the
    advanced targeting computer. Still it is one of the least expensive 'Mechs of its class, but
    still packing a rottweiler attitude.
    
    The mercenaries also preferred the standard fusion engine over the more fragile XL fusion
    engine. Each of the Rottweiler's left and right sides have balanced weapons, a left-arm that
    can flip to attack behind the 'Mech, and a hand for grabbing and holding.
    The unit created approximately a dozen of the 'Mechs. 


Deployment:
    
The Iron Dogs Mercenary Group is a private corporation who practices discretion and
    maintains its secrets. There are no known advertised deployments, though the Iron Dogs have
    known great success.


Variants:
    
The Rottweiler in its simplest form is the ID-R-1 model. However, the 'Mech can easily
    swap older technology for the newer extended-range weapons if the mission and pilot could
    afford the heat sacrifices. Many Rottweiler have been known to carry ER PPCs and ER medium
    lasers on special missions.
    
    The most common variant is the ID-R-2 which replaces the targeting computer with an SRM-4
    launcher.


Notable MechWarriors:
    
The Captain of the Iron Dogs, James "Big Dog" Eisen-Hund piloted the first
    Rottweiler.
