================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Barbados was one of a number of advanced Omnimechs developed by the Word of Blake with
    the intention of deployment against the Clans. These machines utilized bleeding edge
    technology to close the gap in capability between Clan equipment and that of the Inner
    Sphere, including numerous systems derived from reverse engineering of captured Clan
    technology.
    
    Like most other examples of the same line, the Barbados made use of a self-contained
    ejectable cockpit module which was designed for maximum space and weight efficiency, and
    included an integrated Improved C3 Computer for coordination purposes.
    A 270 rated Extra Light engine with a double strength cooling loop allowed the machine to
    keep pace with other Assault Mechs, while a Reinforced internal frame supporting the maximum
    amount of armor for a ninety ton platform made the machine considerably more durable than
    most would assume, while retaining an impressive thirty-nine and a half tons of pod space.
    
    All variants of the Barbados possess the Easy to Pilot Design Quirk.

Capabilities:
    The Primus variant of the Barbados is designed as an all-range brawler meant to complement
    the Paimon, mounting a mixture of ballistic, missile, and energy weaponry that makes it
    effective at any range, though somewhat reliant on support for "Hole punching" as it lacks
    many high-impact weapons.
    
    The right arm is fitted with an advanced light rotary-autocannon with superior range to
    those produced by the rest of the Inner Sphere, whilst a pair of five-pack variable-tube
    missile launchers---each supplied with two tons of munitions---and a six-pack Streak SRM
    launcher with a single ton of ammunition encompasses the design's missile armament. An
    extended range large laser is mounted to the center torso to round out its armament, and
    finally a small vibro-blade is fitted to the left arm as a backup weapon.
    
    The variant is also fitted with a Bloodhound Active Probe to help prevent ambushes,
    particularly by Elemental battle armor, and four additional Double Heat Sinks to manage its
    heat load.
