================================================================================================
Overview:
    The New Avalon Institute of Science recently contacted Henderson Armaments about reproducing
    the KGC-5000 used by the Star League Army in the liberation of Terra. After speaking with
    the personnel interested in producing this design at the NAIS Henderson Armaments agreed to
    produce an improved version of these mechs on a limited run. The designs that came of this
    were the KGC-5500 and KGC-5600. The KGC 5500 is approved for sale to all interested parties.
    the KGC-5600 is a design being sold exclusively to the AFFS and is one of the first
    BattleMechs to come close to rivaling machines such as the Clans Warhawk in its mix of brute
    force and deadly accuracy.

Capabilities:
    Much like the KGC-5000 the KGC-5500 incorporates 4 standard Particle Projection cannons
    these give the KGC-5500 a range of up to 540 meters for close in work the KGC-5500 carries a
    Arrowstar Streak SRM 4 as well as four Star Sniper ER Medium Lasers.
    
    
    
    Variants -
    
    
    
    The KGC-5500 is based off of the older KGC-5000 which is a offshoot of the KGC-0000. The
    KGC-5500 does have a proof of concept counterpart though produced by Henderson Armaments for
    the New Avalon Insitiute of science to test the possibility of using a King Crab with a
    Targeting Computer. This variant is called the KGC-5600.

Deployment:
    Currently the KGC-5500 is primarily stationed within the AFFS. Some of these mechs have made
    their way into the hands of the Lyran Alliance as well. They are primarily being stationed
    in units that are on hostile fronts or in extremely high profile units such as the Davion
    Guards units.
