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.
    
    The G configuration is the first of the Third generation configurations introduced after the
    Dark Caste War and the Cleansing that followed.  The G configuration was crafted to push the
    limits of long ranged fire.  With 100 Streak LRM tubes the effective damage at long range is
    greater then any other known mech.

Deployment:
    Though mounting an impressive level of firepower, this Configuration is never used en mass.
    The kill chain has a few weaknesses that could quickly nueter a force that went all in on
    the Streak Launchers.

    Archivist's notes:
    
    We only know of one mech with more long range firepower, the Apollyon.  There might be more
    but our search request to central is not currently going through.  Still the Apollyon is
    custom made to counter this type of weapons loadout.  Between its ECM and advanced armor the
    Apollyon drops this Obsidian Idol's firepower from a 10 down to like a 3.  Then again based
    on the doctrine presented, this was a known problem for them.  I wonder how they learned
    that lesson.
