OverView
While it is not known how the Dragon made its way to the Lost World, it quickly showed its worth for light fire support. Hiada struck on the idea of using it as a scout, and Tuatha has tested this theory as well.

Capabilities
With a top speed of eighty-six kilometers an hour, the DRG-1S is not much slower than the average scout mech. It relies on its superior armor and firepower to take out other scout mechs, and can be on the line as well. A diverse mix of weaponry allows this mech to defend itself against mechs, tanks, and infantry. Relying mostly on energy weapons allows this mech to spend its time scouting with out worry of running out of ammunition. 10 tons of armor makes this a tough nut to crack, and it has blistering close range firepower, which it can use at will versus other large mechs thanks to its speed.

Deployment
Hiada uses this mech in scout lances and in anti scout lances, but against Senecas blisteringly fast scouts it proved to be mostly ineffective. Tuatha has put a limited number into the field for testing.

Variants
For a level two upgrade, id use endo, FF, and DHS to try to keep the engine a regular one, but get the speed up to 6/9, or at-least 5/8/5.
