================================================================================================
Overview:
    LGH-4K model was originally just minor variant of 3K that was produced as a result of engine
    shortage created by DropShip accident. Reactor on DropShip carrying engines from Quandahar
    overloaded during final stages of leaving atmosphere and transformed the ship to shooting
    star. Engineers and techs hastily made some changes to keep the production running, but the
    result was better than expectations. Not only the mech is a bit more reliable, now it's
    closer to six million price tag, a fact that caught eye of DCMS high command that always
    tries to save resources when possible.

Capabilities:
    Techs replaced missing engines with Hermes 300 XL quickly shipped from Al Na'ir. This change
    increased the overall speed, but the mech lost the ability to accelerate rapidly. As factory
    techs swarmed around the mech they discovered that the MASC system previously protected the
    engine from being hit and reported to chief engineers. After some calculations the engineers
    decided that the armor should be redistributed, because they failed to squeeze more armor on
    the mech despite the fact that the bulky MASC system was removed.

Deployment:
    What started as accident may evolve in full variant. Six 4Ks had been constructed so far and
    if they'll outperform 3K model than whole line would be retooled to produce 4K.
