Overview:
    See the [BASE] configuration for the history behind this mech.  This and the following files
    will focus more on the technical capabilities of each configuration.

Capabilities:
    At first glance the Obsidian Idol is a fairly typical assault mech.
    Maneuverability is on par with almost every 100 ton mech ever made.  Armor
    coverage is actually lighter then average with only 18.5 tons of standard armor
    covering the chassis.  What truly makes this mech is the weapons capacity.  59
    tons of available pod space allows the Obsidian Idol to carry an unmatched
    bite.
    
    
    After entering service with tge Ebon Keshik the Obsidian idol continued to add
    configurations as battle field experience was incorporated.  The C configuration is similar
    to the Prime in that it
    uses weapons with highly concentrated damage to punch holes into a target and
    follows up this damage with a Trio of LB-10x's firing cluster munitions to chew
    up the vitals.  The C configuration is also the first configuration to mount
    significant secondary weapons and to overheat to any great degree.  There is
    one flaw in this configuration that makes few Mech Warriors choice it.  With
    only 3 tons of ammo for the LBx's its utility in heavy fighting is limited.

Deployment:
    The C configuration has the strange distinction of being the least popular configuration,
    and the one most used by the most elite of pilots.  In the hands of an expert the C
    configuration becomes a littoral head hunter when the Mechwarrior chooses to make more
    difficult but focused attacks on a specific area on an enemy mech.  Or alternativly these
    pilots are the best choice to send in when you want a target captured alive.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Archivist's notes:
    
    Help from the Fold arrived lead by, shockingly, Johnathan Frisby CCIXVII.  Full systematic
    decontamination is projected to take 6 months,  but this estimate is going down as hidden
    nests are discovered and native guides are able to assist.  Meanwhile the United Freemen are
    surprised to learn they aren't the only intelligent species on their own ships.  They'll no
    doubt be just as surprised to find out how much of their history was influenced by the Rats.
