================================================================================================
Overview:
    With complaints about the baseline Rakshasa's performance in many aspects and the popularity
    of the 1B retrofit 'downgrade', the MDG-1C was intended to be a refit kit that drastically
    improved the performance of the Rakshasa without sacrificing too much in terms of firepower.
    In many ways, it mimics the Timberwolf D configuration, but uses inner sphere technology -
    and does it successfully. All weapons but the medium pulse laser are removed, and replaced
    with a pair of standard Magna Hellstar PPC's, one in each arm, and a pair of Streak SRM6's
    sourced from the Draconis Combine, one in each side torso. With each launcher fed by a ton
    of ammunition, CASE is installed to protect the pilot. This variant runs relatively cool,
    and while lacking the long range firepower of the 1A, hits just as hard if not harder at
    close to medium ranges without the heat issues.
