Overview:
    After the BSN-1s adoption, it was deemed necessary to make a version capable to keeping up
    with a wider variety standard mech and vehicle battalions, something the BSN-1 could not do.
    To achieve this, Vandenburg mounted the Magna 260 fusion engine manufactured by TTI, but
    were forced to sacrifice all energy weapons save for one small laser, and some of the
    armour, to achieve this.

Capabilities:
    The BSN-2 is fairly versatile platform. Its Magna 260 engine allows it to keep up with and
    support other assets on the ground, and it capable of engaging most targets effectively. It
    does this with its turret mounted Imperator Code Red LB 10-X autocannon, supplied with 2
    tonnes solid and 1 tonne cluster ammunition. A Delta Dart LRM-10 gives it long range
    punching power and limited indirect fire capability, and is supplied with 1 tonne of
    reloads, and is also mounted in the turret. A single Magna Small Laser is mounted in the
    hull as a fallback weapon. Despite losing some armour to mount the larger engine, this model
    is still well protected by 12 tonnes of Durallex Medium Ferro-Fibrous armour.

Deployment:
    The Bison is deployed as per Taurian combined arms tactics, in standard vehicle maniple
    formations to support and supplement the advance of infantry platoons and Battlemech lances,
    made possible thanks to the larger engine over the previous model. However, given the small
     energy armament, it has much lower battlefield endurance than the previous model.
