================================================================================================
Overview:
    This unusual Dark Adder was the first to see battle against another major faction, during a
    Trial of Possession for Ceti Prime 14, a mineral-rich moon Clan Cloud Cobra.  Knowing their
    own aerospace assets to be inferior to the Cloud Cobras', the Goliath Scorpion commander,
    Star Colonel Mara Posavatz, ordered the six Dark Adder 'mechs in her cluster to be equipped
    as mobile anti-aircraft platforms.  When the two Clans forces met on the airless surface of
    the moon, the Dark Adders' flak downed a full star of Cloud Cobra fighters in the ensuing
    Goliath Scorpion victory.

Capabilities:
    This 'mech's two light autocannon, one 30mm high velocity autocannon and one 97mm flak gun,
    provide accurate long range firepower strong enough to damage critical control surfaces
    enough to bring a fighter down .  Against adversaries on the ground, this 'mech's best hope
    is to rely on it's speed against all but the lightest opponents.

Deployment:
    This unusual configuration has only been used once.
