Overview:
    In an effort to entice the client who ordered the Long Range Support Platform Model No. 427
    "Cole" for more business, SMA sent over the design requests to the "Crystal Keep" production
    line. Their iteration on the Cole was more in line with the strengths of the production
    facility, and final design and development ended with the BST-427 "Black Stone." While more
    expensive than the Cole, the Black Stone has a few advantages over the vehicle. Firstly, the
    Black Stone is faster, has slightly better armor, and has a fusion reactor. It's use of a
    reactor over the "Iron Palace's" usual Khalon line of fuel cells makes it less dependent on
    logistical support. Something of a sidegrade, the Black Stone takes a Thumper over a Long
    Tom. While not having the same range or damage capability, it houses significantly more
    ammunition per ton, allowing for even greater longevity in the field. The cost for these
    changes has resulted in the loss of the impressive targeting suite and EWAR capabilities of
    the Cole, however the Black Stone holds its own as a midline Battlemech, more than able to
    provide more direct support to friendly assets in the field.
