Overview

The DRG-Fang is a Hero variant of the Dragon. This model is unique compared to other Dragon models in that it does not carry ballistic slots in either arm. Instead, both arms mound dual energy hardpoints. The Flame's high speed performance matches that of other Dragon models, though the reflexiveness of the torso and arms is slightly downgraded. Like all Hero Mechs, the Flame provides a 30% C-Bill bonus.

Background

Piloted by brothers, the DRG-Fang and the DRG-Flame Mechs have very different styles of combat, with one focusing on close range brawling, and the other long range attack. They can be found side-by-side, ever trying to best the other. Born on New Samarkand and part of a noble family, they attended the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy together. Upon graduation, each was given a Dragon – to Martin, a Dragon DRG-1C belonging to his grandmother, and to Donald, a Dragon DRG-1N that belonged to their father.

While receiving many distinctions and each rising to the rank of Chu-i (Lieutenant), in charge of their own Lances, the brothers often got into trouble for taking un-necessary risks in order to best each other. After their DCMS company commander, who was furious at them, convinced them to cease these actions, and the brothers focused on customizing their Mechs in an attempt to outdo the other.

Having now risen to the rank of Sho-sa (Major), each is in charge of their own Company. They work at the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy together, pushing their students to see who can produce the better class of MechWarrior pilots.

Piloted by Martin Takeda, the Dragon DRG-FLAME boasts the following load out of a Medium Laser, AC/2, LRM-5, and an ER Large laser. This Mech is a perfect design for those who love to pick off opponents at long range!

Piloted by Donald Takeda, the Dragon DRG-FANG boasts a load out of twoMedium Lasers, an SRM 6, and an AC/10. Clearly a brawler, this Mech is perfect for those pilots who are all about high armor, speed, and getting into the fight.
