================================================================================================
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 2K model was a configuration initially born from a shortage of Light Gauss Rifles, but
    was ordered in quantity due to the flexibility of the LB-10-X autocannons.
    
    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 -2K sacrifices range for accuracy and flexibility. Its Large Pulse Laser and Cluster
    LB-10 rounds are far easier to connect with than the standard Psychopomp's weapons systems,
    and have a greater endurance.
    
    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.
