Overview:
    Blackstone would push out the Advanced Quad Program (AQP) in the late Dark Age. This would
    be in part due to a nationalist reactionary response by the Companies leadership in the face
    of repeated disasters experienced by the Lyran Commonwealth at that time, as well as some
    good old fashion greed, or desire to capitalize on potential market opportunities. This
    program would focus on the general concepts of quad design, how their advantages could best
    be utilized, and how these advantages could be merged with advanced technologies to maximum
    effect. A decade long study involving some of the brightest minds at Blackwell would take
    place carefully examining a litany of previous and current quad designs, and many
    discussions on how various technologies could be incorporated to enhance the basic quad
    concept. At the conclusion of the study the think tank would submit their results as well as
    five potential prototypes for further development. Blackwell's leadership impressed with the
    result of the study would select two of the five designs for continued development. The
    Gorgon later designated the GON-1S would be one of these designs. Between the two offerings
    the Gorgon would be considered the more valuable and premium design (this view would have
    consequences for the sister design later on). Designed as a slow moving behemoth able to
    strike down targets from afar the Gorgon would incorporate several imported clan
    technologies.

Capabilities:
    The Gorgon GON-1S would come with a 340 standard fusion engine. Paired with its 22.5 tons of
    hardened armor (180 pips) this would allow the mech a top speed of 54/ kh and a normal
    cruising speed of 42/ kh. An XL gyro and imported clan endo-steal would be utilized to free
    up some tonnage. The defining feature of the design would be its massive turret which would
    house all of the of the mech's weapons. These would include two Clan ER-Large Lasers and a
    Clan LRM20 w/ art IV. Both lasers would be linked to a Targeting computer, and the LRM would
    be supplied with 3 tons of Clan CASE II protected ammo. 15 double heatsinks would be
    provided for cooling purposes.
