================================================================================================
Overview:
    Because Arctic Silence could not afford to produce the expensive WRB-3X without increasing
    production of "sale 'Mechs" the chief engineers produced a simplified version of the 'Mech
    that was less effective but half the price. It also has a fatal flaw built into the design
    that only the top members of Arctic Silence and the First Prince know of. It is so subtle
    that even if it was exploited, no one would be able to tell it apart from a fluke shot.
    
    16 of these 'Mechs have been sold, 4 a year, chiefly to elite mercenary units outside of the
    Federated Suns.

Capabilities:
    This 'Mech costs so much less than the -3X because a standard VLAR 300 fusion engine has
    been used. However, The same weapons are installed. Therefore to make room for the heavier
    engine, the hardened armour and jump jets have been stripped and a small cockpit
    re-introduced. The upside of this is that the old Clan Endo Composite Structure has been
    used which is less bulky than the -3X's Endo Steel skeleton, and two ER Small Lasers and a
    Pulse Laser have been included in the design. The armour is half a ton lighter than that of
    the original Warbird, with the rear armour being reduced.
    
    Despite this, the WRB-3 still wields frightful firepower in the form of its 3 LB 20-X
    Autocannons. The obvious difference in quality between this 'Mech and the -3X has earnt it
    the slightly less intimidating name 'Deathmonger'.

Deployment:
    This 'Mech has been deployed a few times in minor battles accros the Inner Sphere, with
    three being brought down on the battlefield.

Variants:
    There are (as of 3145) two variants of the Warbird (which are split into multiple
    sub-variants):
    
    The WRB-4 and WRB-4L, the WRB-3 & WRB-3X and the WRB-3S.

Notable MechWarriors:
    No notable Mechwarriors have piloted this "second-rate" BattleMech.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Dark Wolf is the workhorse of Arctic Silence's private army and the symbol of the entire
    organisation. Ever since Arctic Silence became an established power in the Inner Sphere in
    the early 32nd century, the chief engineers had been planning to construct a 'Mech that
    would symbolise all the group stood for. The Dark Wolf is the end product of that process,
    20 years down the line.
    
    A masterpiece of mobility and acurate firepower, the Dark Wolf certainly stands above the
    crowd - figuratively speaking of course: the Dark Wolf is an example of quite possibly the
    finest quad 'Mech ever produced in the history of the Inner Sphere, but it's not going to be
    winning any height competitions with its sleek and low chassis - designed to minimise the
    'Mech's silhouette to distrupt enemy targeting systems in the same way that the Maruader
    does with its unique body shape.
    
    You do have to be prepared to pay for your money's worth though: at nearly 15 million
    C-Bills for a 60 ton 'Mech you might be better off looking elsewhere if you don't have deep
    enough pockets to afford the Dark Wolf.
    
    Arctic Silence has mass produced this 'Mech on Págos from the very hour that the design was
    completed, pumping out between 10 and 12 of them each year. As of 3138, Arctic Silence is
    currently in the process of constructing a new primary factory for the 'Mech on Exter VII
    inside its territory on Plymouth. While that does mean that one of the Dark Wolves it
    produces each year will have to be sent to the Federated Suns under the terms of the ASFSA
    Agreement, Arctic Silence are all for improving relations with their most powerful ally.

Capabilities:
    The Dark Wolf is 60 tons of stealth and destruction, utilising a Clan 300 XL Engine to reach
    speeds of
