================================================================================================
Overview:
    After a high-profile action by an Osprey pilot saved hundreds of Canopian citizens from a
    terror attack, the Magistracy Armed Forces sought to add the 'Mech to more units as a
    patriotic symbol. Political maneuvering from Majesty Metals and Manufacturing and some light
    industrial espionage by the Magistracy Intelligence Ministry won the company access to
    schematics recovered from the ruins of the old Word of Blake factory on Achernar that
    originally produced the OSP-26.
    
    Hoping to keep costs down, MMM eschewed the original 220 XL engine that allowed the 55-ton
    'Mech to mount a Gauss rifle at the cost of making it fairly easy to take out once its side
    torsos were breached. That one decision led to a gradual shift in design goal: from
    long-range fire support unit that wanted to stay out of close combat to durable e-warfare
    platform and brawler.
    
    When sent into cluttered terrain like cities, canyons, or woods, Canopian units see their
    Osprey as a 'good luck charm.' The OSP-27MC Osprey's paired Bloodhound Active Probe and
    Angel ECM find hidden threats and shields nearby allies. Its dorsal Ceres Arms Thrasher
    Snub-Nosed PPC, produced on Capella, lacks the punch of the old Gauss rifle, but by mounting
    it over a compact gyro, the 'Mech becomes capable of posing a threat even after taking a
    serious beating.
    
    The wing tips each bear a Diverse Optics Type II ER Medium Laser built by MMM on Canopus,
    while the original 7-tube Multi-Missile Launcher has been replaced by a pair of Doombud
    MML-5s shipped from Sian. These are provided with three tons of CASE-protected
    ammo--typically including inferno and/or smoke SRMs, to clear out entrenched infantry or
    provide cover for a fighting withdrawal.
