================================================================================================
Overview:
    A suggested manufacturing run to supplement existing stocks of DRG-7K's using licensed
    production Light Gauss Rifles and ER Medium Lasers. An XL engine comfortably increases the
    mech's speed over the baseline dragon. Endosteel and Ferro Fibrous Armor increase armor
    protection and save weight. A Light Gauss Rifle in the right arm replaces the standard ER
    PPC, while a trio of medium lasers in the left torso and left arm replace the standard
    mediums. A rear facing small laser in the right torso is a throwback to the old dragon
    design. The MRM-10 launcher is swapped for a LRM-10, eliminating the original's maintenance
    issues related to that launcher. 10 Double Heat sinks keep the design cool.
