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:
    The KGC 5600 takes it's inspiration from one of the most feared and intimidating Clan
    OmniMechs of all time. The Warhawk. The Clan machine can bring devastating firepower to bear
    with the combination of ER PPCs and a Targeting Computer. The KGC-5600 uses a similar
    targeting computer to allow it to fire all four of its Magna Hellstar PPCs with frightening
    Accuracy. For close in protection the KGC-5600 carries a ER Medium Laser and a ER Small
    Laser to allow it to defend itself. While this armaments is paltry in comparison to most
    Assault Mechs close in protection the KGC-5600 would usually be paired with Mechs such as
    the Victor for close in protection.

Deployment:
    The KGC-5600 is a limited edition Battlemech, only 24 of which will be produced each year
    over the designs 10 year lifetime. Because of this limited number of machines they are being
    assigned usually to the highest ranking officers and working their way down. With only 240
    being produced over the next ten years though this Mech will most likely be used for field
    personnel at the higher levels of the AFFS command chain. If the design meets a higher level
    of success then the KGC-5500 line may be converted to build only non limited version of the
    KGC-5600.
