Overview:
    As the Raijin entered the battlefield it became obvious that it had a major flaw: though
    fast and jump-capable it had been wrapped into a relativly thin shell of armor. Another
    minor problem were the two different types of SRM's that complicated maintenance and ammo
    supply.
    In 3058 the 102-B variant walked off the Krupp shortly before the Word of Blake took it from
    ComStar.

Capabilities:
    The new production variant centered on the EndoSteel version of the Krupp 200 Chassis
    freeing up enough tonnage for a decent armor upgrade.
    The two different SRM-launchers replaced by a set of two Streak-SRM-2's which drew from the
    same ammo bin.
    Almost as an afterthought the ER-PPC was placed in the right arm to give it the same wide
    field of fire as the medium pulse lasers.
    All this made it able to increase its armor by almost 36%, upgrade the heat sink system by
    20% and wrapping its ammo in a CASE.

Deployment:
    Only a hand full of mechs reached ComStar forces as the Word of Blake took Terra shortly
    after the start of production.
    So most RJN102-B serve with the Word of Blake forces.
