================================================================================================
Overview:
    After action reports from Tukayyid illustrated handily the effectiveness of the KCG-001 King
    Crab. However, ComStar did not want to convert all of its King Crabs into the -001
    configuration, as this would deprive them of the unmatched close-range capability the King
    Crab offered. Instead, ComStar commissioned StarCorps to construct a new BattleMech that
    would be capable of similar long-range assaults.
    
    The 3C was biult to satisfy members of the Psychopomp design team that insisted on a
    full-size Gauss Rifle. Produced in limited numbers, it is unknown exactly how many were
    produced before the Norse-Storm factory on Solaris was destroyed.
    
    Visually, the Psychopomp appears like an amalgam of a King Crab and the Cougar XR prototype,
    with the Mech's arms angled upward to give its Gauss Rifles optimal fields of fire.

Capabilities:
    The 3C utilizes twin MML-9s and a torso-mounted Gauss rifle to accomplish the same mission
    as its forebearer, though its Gauss rifle annot be used from defilade, a key design feature
    of the stock model.
    
    All models of the Psychopomp have the following Quirks: Overhead Arms and Narrow/Low Profile

Deployment:
    By 3058, development was entering the prototype stage, unfortunately, WoB would launch
    Operation ODYSSEUS at that time, halting development as the design team fled Terra with the
    only copy of the Psychopomp's specifications.
    ComStar would struggle to find a factory to produce the 100 ton behemoth, until they
    approached Norse-Storm Technologies, who agreed to produce the Psychopomp in the same
    Solaris Factory that biult the venerable Nightstar Battlemech.
    Sadly, production would only last 9 years before the Blakists invasion of Solaris saw the
    Norse-Storm production lines destroyed. As such, the Psychopomp is a rare sight on the
    battlefield, rarer still in the employ of anyone outside of ComStar.
