================================================================================================
Overview:
    In 3055, with the expertise gained through the Clan Invasion, Blackwell industries and GM,
    who had in the decades before also cooperated on the Marauder II, devised a hunter-killer
    'mech on the low end of the medium weight class. While a lot of components are very
    advanced, including endo steel which calls for an orbital manufacturing facility, it does
    include a standard engine, with the dual function of making this 'mech more survivable and
    cheap.

Capabilities:
    With its high speed, the Conceptmech is able to catch most light 'mechs in existence. With
    its ERPPC it is also very likely to out-range and outgun most enemies which can outrun it.
    
    
    
    With its speed and large weapon, this design also finds itself used as an auxiliary
    fire-support design. Ideally it fits into lances with large, slow and vulnerable designs.
    There it can fulfill both functions: add its own PPC to the barrage, while also protecting
    its peers from attacks by enemy light 'mechs that have bypassed the frontlines.

Deployment:
    While the Federated Commonwealth were the first to snatch up a contract with GM, they have
    deployed most of their Conceptmechs in the Davion portion of the realm, along the Capellan
    border. Here it has proven its worth in numerous skirmishes with the Vindicator - a 'mech
    with similar armour and weaponry, but which moves at only slightly more than 50% of the
    speed of the Conceptmech.
    
    Blackwell, on the other hand, is delivering their output to the Dragoons, which seem to use
    it as a stop-gap design while working on their omnimech facilities.
