================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Thunder God was discovered in a mech-hanger on the research facilities on Huntress,
    within Smoke Jaguar space. Apparently, the Jaguars were attempting to improve on the
    venerable Behemoth design. This was an important, if somewhat belated discovery, as it
    indicated the Jaguars were refitting old machines instead of spending resources on new ones.
    A sure indication the Jaguar economy was suffering.

Capabilities:
    The Thunder God is clearly a superior design to the Behemoth, packing more armor and greater
    firepower at increased ranges. The triple Gauss Rifles are deadly in the extreme, but when
    couple to a pair of extended range PPCs, the Thunder God becomes truly awesome. Even the
    Inner Sphere Thunder Hawk can only match roughly 60% of the Thunder God's hitting power at
    great ranges.
    Invariably, however, no 'Mech is without weaknesses, and the Thunder God is no exception.
    The machine suffers from a lack of sufficient ammo for its many gauss rifles. And, like the
    Behemoth, the design is very slow, lacking even the Behemoth's jump jets. The Thunder God
    is, however, completely heat effiecient.

Deployment:
    The Thunder God was merely a Smoke Jaguar prototype, and as such is not, and probably never
    will be going into deployment.

Variants:
    No known variants of the Thunder God exist.
