Overview:
    Etna Industries was seeking to further enhance the capabilities of their Fortalice line of
    mechs.  One particular sore spot was that the Super-Heavy's garrison of 12 battle armors
    struggled to position effectively on the battlefield.  This train of thought led to the
    creation of the Wolfsbane, an Ultralight mech that was bundled in packs of three alongside
    the Fortalice.  The high speed and utility design proved popular, though its absurd price
    tag for an ultralight mech meant that it was rarely bought seperately.

Capabilities:
    As an Omni-mech, each variant of the Wolfsbane came equipped with "ridding mounts" capable
    of carrying up to six battle armors at a time.  Capable of sustaining 280 km/h by
    alternating between its Supercharger and MASC fibers allows this mech to quickly position
    battle armors across the field of combat before taking on a support role.  This utility
    takes the form of a light TAG unit found on each variant along with a flamer to allow for
    the creation of smoke cover for slower allies.  Some configurations also mount a C3 slave
    computer to allow for percision targeting by nearby LRM batteries.
    
    With only 2 tons of armor, the Wolfsbane is highly vulnerable to direct hits, reliant on its
    high speeds to avoid incoming fire.  If it does take hits, its torso and leg armor are
    equipped with enough to withstand a few light arms fire such as SRMs or small lasers.
    However, it is seriously threatened by any medium to large caliber weapon and should be
    positioned inorder to avoid this kind of attack.

Variants:
    Wolfsbane-A: It is equipped with two arrays of three machine guns and a half ton of ammo,
    designed ot hunt infantry and tear through enemy rear armor.  BV2.0: 518.  Cost: 5,929,688
    
    Wolfsbane-B: this configuration swaps its machine gun arrays for light machine gun arrays to
    give it a noticable range increase but substantially lower damage.  BV2.0: 518. Cost:
    6,001,563.
    
    Wolfsbane-C: This mounts one side with light machine guns and the other with an Improved
    Heavy Medium Laser, letting it stay outside of "kicking range" and going prone while still
    dealing comprable damage to the -A model.  BV2.0: 835.  Cost: 6,121,953
    
    Wolfsbane-D: Designed alongside the Fortalice FTL-1U, this configuration removes its machine
    gun arrays to instead equip a C3 slave computer, an Improved Heavy Medium Laser and a ER
    Small Laser.  This mixture of TAG and C3 made for a truly terrifying combination when paired
    with Artemis IV equipped LRM batteries.  BV2.0: 884. Cost: 6,474,141.
    
    Wolfsbane-E: Forgoing offense entirely, it removes all weaponry to equip a C3 computer, an
    ER Small Laser and an ECM suite locked to ECCM mode.  This allows the mech to push into
    enemy ECM fields and still have its C3 computer active, calling in artillery fire in
    locations none expected. BV2.0: 541.  Cost: 6,632,266
    
    Wolfsbane-F: Upgrading to Double-Heat Sinks, it replaces its machine gun arrays two Improved
    Heavy medium lasers and an ER Small Laser.  BV: 1,319.  Cost: 6,416,641
