================================================================================================
Overview:
    Several decades after the end of the Jihad, the Draconis Combine had restored its military
    and industrial strength. The production lines of the "Luthien Armor Works" were also
    available again. Current models, such as the Avalanche, could be supplemented by the
    production of older models. The first generation of Omnis (Raptor, Owens, Strider,
    Firestarter, Blackjack, Black Hawk-KU, Avatar, and Sunder) had proven themselves in the
    past, but also had minor flaws. The ramp-up of production should now eliminate or improve
    these minor issues. First: a complete conversion to dual heat sinks on all 'Mechs. Second: a
    complete removal of fixed equipment (including jump jets and external heat sinks). The
    second point demonstrates the increased flexibility. Some equipment is no longer compatible
    with some Omnis (e.g., the use of improved jump jets). This also significantly increases the
    carrying capacity in some cases. The entire project was dubbed "Project Refit." The
    designation of the revised base models is -RF.

Capabilities:
    Two heatsinks and the jumpjets are removed - more podspace and a possibility to use improved
    jumpjets.
