================================================================================================
Overview:
    A second generation Protomech, the Djinn was a more powerful refinement of the Roc's
    origonal concept.  It shifted the design paradigm using improved understanding of a
    protomechs use and function.

Capabilities:
    An advocate of the "speed is life" school of thought, the Djinn used the most powerful frame
    available at the time and devoted an unheard of, at that point in time, portion of that
    power into mobility.  A single ER Medium laser was deemed to be an adequate main gun
    combining reasonable portions of damage and range to the design.
    
    Armor was originally light on the arms but later reinforced at the expense of torso armor.
    This was a result of experience gained from combat use.  The head armor was never reinforced
    to begin with.  This is a result of realizing protomechs are not battlemechs.  They don't
    need their head to survive, and it's a small target anyways.   Only enough armor to prevent
    breaches in hostile environments such as space or underwater was incorporated.

Deployment:
    The Djinn has remained a dependable staple of protomech combat since its inception.  All too
    often the Djinn added to a combat formation to "protect the flanks" end up being the last
    survivors who have to carry their Clan to victory.

Variants:
    There have been a number of variants produced using this chassis over the decades.  And for
    the most part they have attrited away and not been replaced.  Current threats to the Djinns
    place in the order of battle are improved ultra heavy protomechs and those persistent
    attempts to make a slow but heavily armed protomechs.
