==Overview:==
Originally the personal ride of a minor noble named Victor Darkarm, this
customization of the Falconer has slowly become popular as Darkarm's star h
risen among the Lyran Commonwealth. 

Due largely to personal preference, Darkarm replaced the Guass Rifle with a
LRM 20; reportedly, Darkarm dislikes Guass Rifles due to a previous inciden
in which one was hit and exploded on him. 

This reduction in tonnage allowed for Darkarm to install additional heat si
to help deal with the mech's heavy heat curve at closer ranges; he can unle
his ER PPC and full bevvy of medium lasers at once without generating heat 
he stands still, and only a token amount if he moves. And in what appears t
be a token nod to past experience, Darkarm has included a rear-firing small
laser as token defense against anyone who might get too close. 

However, perhaps the one flaw in Darkarm's design is the fact that the 20 g
less ammo per ton; even with twice the tonnage to ammo, he - and any pilot 
adopts his customization - will run out of ammo after a mere two minutes'
continuous firing compared to the two minutes, forty seconds' continuious
firing from a single ton of Guass ammo. The hope appears to be that anythin
which survived the extended long-range barrage will be too weak to oppose a
close-quarters finisher.
