================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Bishop was created to fill the roll of a target designator for heavy and assault cavalry
    units utilizing C3 systems. The designers had several requirements for this unit that all
    had to be incorporated. These are: superbly above average speed, high survivability rates
    which meant full armor, C3 Slave computer installed, and also the ability to be an effective
    combat unit.

Capabilities:
    The design requirement of being an effective combat unit lead the designers to go entirely
    with an energy based weapon load because of high damage vs tonnage ratios. With this, it's
    high speed, large amount of armor and ability to coordinate fire for a full heavy/assault
    cavalry company the Bishop is a very dangerous foe.
    
    
    
    This redesign sacrifices some firepower (one of the twin ER Medium Lasers) for a TAG
    designation unit. It is deployed mostly with batallions in a company consisting of a lance
    of BSH-02T's and 2 lances of C3 equiped heavy and assault mechs where at least 1 of the
    other 2 companies or a supporting unit is equiped with either or both semi-guided LRMs or
    Arrow IV homing missiles.
