================================================================================================
Overview:
    The -11K is the original intended production model of what is now the -12k. It was initially
    designed with only Inner Sphere components but looked over due to the advantages and allure
    of Clantech.

Capabilities:
    A Heavy PPC provides a head-capping main gun that was outclassed by the -12Ks Clan-made ER
    PPC. While not a bad weapon by any stretch, the shorter and minimum range is perhaps the
    biggest issue that caused developers to move on from it.
    
    Other issues include the use of CASE vs the superior protection of a CASE II unit and the
    lack of a speed-boosting system(MASC).
    
    Despite these shortcomings, the -11k compares favorably in other areas.  Armor is slightly
    heavier being able to fit an equivalent amount of Ferro Fibrous rather than its Light
    version, and a MML-9 allows the use of SRMs to compensate for the lack of minimum range
    present in Clan LRMs. The fact that it's connected to an Artemis FCS, provided further
    appeal.

Deployment:
    Considered inferior and thus abandoned, a few samples were stolen and used by Yakuza, with
    observers simply assuming that these are just "modded" Grand Dragons.
