==Overview:==
With sales of their flagship Ranger combat suit at record-setting
numbers, Diablo War Machines found themselves being pressured for
another, cheaper, suit. One that would be more affordable to less
wealthy planetary militias and mercenary outfits. 

The result of several design changes to the Ranger suit was a
product that was named the Denkou, or "Lightning" suit. It was
more capable in direct combat, thanks to the improved weapon
suite, but couldn't fulfill the most of the other functions of the
Ranger.

==Capabilities:==
The Denkou is just as fast as its' Ranger parent. It carries the
same armor load, and utilizes the same control systems. However,
the similarities end there. The Denkou lacks the integral parafoil
that allows the Ranger to infiltrate enemy lines with such ease,
along with the TAG system that gives the Ranger its' ability to
call for artillery and air support. The Denkou does, however,
possess a larger main weapon, giving the suit better direct-combat
capabilities.

==Deployment==
Like the Ranger, the Denkou is available to any entity legally and
financially able to purchase them.
