Well, something about unification of the supply chain with the Archangel omni and that it had to install the light engine to free tonnage to get it Rolling Eyes

As Sleeping Dragon pointed out, not a very good one:

"Another component from the Celestial supply line is the OSR’s compact gyroscope, a device it shares with the C-ANG-O Archangel. The mass of the armor, gyroscope and PPCs demanded weight savings that were realized by installing a light fusion engine produced on Hesperus II."

So it uses a component something else uses, bt to get it in there they had to change the engine. Essentially no reason why it HAD to have it.

It technically an excuse to get expensive components on the chassis to achieve nothing of interest at all.

I could buy that explanation IF battletech had ever before except in passing made a point about supply chains and component availability.

I think it did, but trying to tell me that a standard gyro complementing 300 class engine was too uncommon so that you need to use compact stinks.
