================================================================================================
Overview:
    A limited run prototype of an Inner Sphere reproduction of the Smoke Jaguar Stone Rhino
    (Behemoth) designed the Wolf's Dragoons and built by the Blackwell Heavy Industries on
    Outreach.

Capabilities:
    To replicate the weapons load of twin Large Pulse Lasers, twin Gauss Rifles, and a Small
    Pulse Laser, the Dragoons out fitted the Granite Leviathan with twin ExoStar Large X-Pulse
    Lasers from the Federated Suns, twin Magna Hellfire Heavy PPCs w/ PPC Capacitors, and a
    Magna 200P Small Pulse Laser for token anti-infantry capability.
    
    To fit the heavier Inner Sphere equipment, the Dragoons utilized a GM 300 Light Fusion
    engine to save weight while preserving durability as well as the costume built Star League
    Monster IIa Endo-Composite internal structure for additional weight savings for low bulk;
    Blackwell made modifications to the legs of the design utilizing their experience with the
    Marauder II to improve performance but at the expense of less protected actuators.  Three
    Chilton 850 Mk. II super-heavy jump jets preserve the unit's mobility while 18 tons of
    Valiant Lamellor standard armor plating provides protection.  Given the massive change in
    the heat generation of the main guns, an addition 7 tons of double heat sinks is installed;
    furthermore, the Dragoons installed a Federated Sun Reclaimed Coolant Flush Injector to
    further assist in heat control.
    
    Blackwell Heavy Industries in an effort to minimize costs and accelerate development used as
    many components as they could in common with the Marauder II or sourced items from on-planet
    production plants.  Only the pulse lasers are sourced from an outside manufacture on
    Robinson.

Deployment:
    Only a half-dozen of these machines have thus far been built for test trials.  Once this
    review process is complete and any necessary modifications have been made, Blackwell Heavy
    Industries plans to begin limited ongoing production.

Variants:
    Quirks: Barrel Fist (LA) (RA), Command BattleMech, Oversized, Weak Head Armor (1), and EM
    Interference (1).
    Prototype Quirks: Prototype, Difficult to Maintain, and Poor Cooling Jacket (HPPC) (LT)
    (RT).
