================================================================================================
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:
    Given concerns over the excessive heat loads of the original prototype, a refit variant was
    produced.  The second prototype's weapons load consists of twin ChisComp 87 Large
    Re-Engineered Lasers, twin Tiegart Maximum Extended Range Particle Projection Cannons with
    Capacitors, a Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Laser, and a Magna 200P Small Pulse Laser.
    
    
    The second prototype kepts the 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 kept the 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.  The Three Chilton 850 Mk. II
    super-heavy jump jets were retained while the Valiant Lamellor standard armor plating was
    increased from 18 tons to the maximum 19.5 tons.  Though reduced, due to the massive change
    in the heat generation of the main guns over the Stone Rhino, 5 tons of the addition 7 tons
    of double heat sinks were retained; furthermore, the Dragoons kept the 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.  However, far more of the weapons had to be sourced from off planet.

Deployment:
    Only one 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 of one of the variants.

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).
