Overview:
    Seeing success with the RDR-34C "Ridge Runner" and MTM-74 "Minuteman," the Dark Forge wished
    to have their own attempt at a mainline cavalry Battlemech. Various design profiles were
    considered, and the PNZ-5X "Prinzessin" was the result. Good speed augmented with both MASC
    and jump jets, solid armor and skeletal construction utilizing Clan techniques, and varied
    weapons with complementing ranges to maximize consistent damage, "Prinzessin" is widely
    considered a successful showcase of blended technologies within the company. Like its
    siblings also coming from the Dark Forge, the "Prinzessin" is expensive. And due to the use
    of several new technologies, production ended up being  more expensive than some of the
    older designs from the assembly line. Regardless, the "Prinzessin" is an extremely capable
    cavalry Battlemech, and is equally at home preforming direct engagements or flanking
    maneuvers entirely on its own. The only complaint ever fielded in the tests for the mech was
    its  responsiveness, seeming too sensitive at times and occasionally requiring a soft touch.
    With time however, most Mechwarriors felt as if the Battlemech "opened up to them," and is
    now much more receptive to commands. Again, SMA dismisses wild claims of ghosts or spirits
    in their products, and strongly advises laying off the "Coolant Flush" mixers.
