Overview:
    The Fire Scorpion is a quadrupedal BattleMech designed by Clan Goliath Scorpion scientists
    to be a totem 'Mech. An earlier model was created in 2834. It is visually similar to a
    scorpion, complete with a "tail" rising up from the rear of the BattleMech. Those same
    scientists apparently believed in a quantity over quality approach, as the Fire Scorpion is
    cheap and primarily fielded by second-line forces that defend cities.
    Clan Wolverine salvaged several of these battlemechs and revamped them by inceasing the
    tonnage to 70 and making major modifications to the basic chassis and engine layout.  The
    base chassis of the Fire Scorpion offers 29.5 tons of pod space compared to its closest clan
    cousin the Summoner which mounts only 22.5 tons of pod space.  It also incorporates 14.5
    tons of armor, whereas the summoner only mounts 9.5 tons.

Capabilities:
    The original Fire Scorpion weighed in at 65 tons and the Endo Steel Internal structure,
    while light, took up a lot of the limited space available to a quad mech.  Clan Wolverine
    started from the ground up bu building upon a standard internal structure but substituting
    an Extra Light engine to make up for the weight differential.  While the XL engine does make
    the mech somewhat more susceptible to battlefield damage, Wolverine scientists felt this was
    an acceptable trade-off.
    Also incorporated were 4 fixed jump jets giving the mech a maximum jump distance of 120
    meters.  Wolverine scientists are still having some trouble mounting jump jets as part of
    the Omni process it seems.

Deployment:
    Currently on 5 of these mechs have been deployed throughout the Wolverine forces.  All are
    currently listed as in trial phases.

Variants:
    The primary configuration closely mirrors the original Fire Scorpion.
