================================================================================================
Overview:
    Originally fielded by the Star Adders, the Blood Asp quickly proved itself to be a capable
    weapons platform and anchor for heavier star formations. One of the Clans who developed an
    interest with this design was the Ghost Bears. Ghost Bear units typically stray from the
    rest of the clans in regards to size, they prefer units that are heavier, yet still retain a
    strong mobility, traits that the Blood Asp exemplifies.
    
    This design expands upon the some of the better capabilities demonstrated by other Blood Asp
    designs. The Ghost Bears put it into use along the border of the Dominion to take advantage
    of the range advantage that it has over its typical Inner Sphere counterpart.

Capabilities:
    The Blood Asp G accentuates the long to medium range capabilities boasted by the Blood Asp
    while still retaining its stature as a powerhouse of a weapons platform. The "G" has heat
    problems that can tend to get in the way of things, but since the Border Worlds tend to run
    a little colder that hasn't been a huge problem.
    
    Perhaps the best use of the Blood Asp G is as a command 'mech, where it can fill a variety
    of rolls while the rest of the unit may operate in a more specialized manner. It is the
    perfect anvil to use as a counterpart to a hammer composed of some heavy 'mechs and a decent
    long range support 'mech where the commander may utilize its formidable firepower wherever
    it is needed.

Deployment:
    The Blood Asp G sees the most deployment along the Dominion's common border with the
    Draconis Combine but its usefulness is gaining it popularity along the Clan Wolf front in
    limited numbers.
