Variants:
Developed as an early prototype improvement to the original Dragon-1N, the 3N model does not
deviate far from what made its predecessor such a valuable additional to the armies of the
Draconis Combine. No change was made to either it?s missile launcher or it?s lasers, but the
original medium caliber autocannon has been exchanged for a multipurpose LB-10X model.
Although it has only half the shots of the older gun, this weapon can hit twice as hard, has
the same range, and can fire its notably devastating ?shotgun? rounds that make it an
effective crit-seeker. Both the ammunition for this weapon, as well as the long range
missiles are protected by cellular ammunition storage systems, which help protect the
BattleMech from being destroyed by ammunition explosion. These changes were made possible by
replacing its internal structure with a far lighter, but also bulkier, endo-steel skeletal
structure, which was then encased in ferro-fibrous armor. It was these last two features
that doomed this model to the history books of the time. Although this version wasn?t as
expensive overall in comparison to the soon to be upgraded Grand Dragon, these last two
technologies were still not as well developed as they needed to be to meet the requirements
of front line units. Therefore the Dragon-3N was relegated to the annals of history, with
only a few examples built; all of which were lost either in the War of 3039 or during the
Clan Invasion.
