================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed by Akula Corporate Engineering in early 3059 to meet the needs of the Federated
    Commonwealth, the GBN-9D Goblin is designed as a heavy fire support mech. The Goblin is
    capable of laying down a tremendous amount of long range firepower, yet retains the ability
    to adequately defend itself at short ranges.  Production began in 3062, and continues to
    date at Akula Corporate Engineering's Outreach factory.

Capabilities:
    The Goblin's combat role is easily defined by its heavy reliance on hard hitting long range
    weapons.  The Grizzard Model 210 Gauss rifle is the most devastating of these weapons and
    can cause substantial damage to anything that falls under its sights.  Backing up the Gauss
    Rifle at long range is a Holly LRM10 and a Blazefire Sweetshot ER Large Laser.
    
    If the Goblin should mortally wound an opponent at long range, it is quite capable of moving
    in to closer quarters to finish the job.  The 2 Defiance P5M Medium Pulse Lasers are deadly
    accurate at close ranges.  If the pulse lasers are not enough, the pilot has the option of
    getting physical with the mechs paired hands.
    
    While the Goblin relies on advanced construction materials such as Endo Steel internals, and
    A.C.E. Type 4A1 Heavy Ferro Fibrous armor the mech's true strength is its Vlar 300 Fusion
    engine.  The engine is quite well protected and easy to repair.  While it gives only
    average horsepower and speed for a 75 ton mech, the Goblin's combat role means it has little
    need for great speed.

Deployment:
    The Goblin was one of the last mechs to see full integrated deployment in the Federated
    Commonwealth before the impending civil war.  The Goblin can be seen in both Steiner and
    Davion units, and the numbers are split almost equally.  Both factions use the Goblin in the
    same matter, fire support for other units.  Rarely does a goblin close to close ranges to
    employ its Medium Pulse Lasers.
