================================================================================================
Overview:
    Because of the limited number of new DRG-5Ks coming off of the assembly lines on Luthien,
    large numbers of older Dragons and Grand Dragons in the arsenal of the DCMS were refitted as
    DRG-5Js during the 3040s and 3050s.  These refit kits were issued to units prestigious
    enough to warrant access to some recovered technology, but not sufficiently favored to
    warrant access to the new 'mechs coming off of the production line.

Capabilities:
    The DRG-5J boasts several refitted systems.  The old Starshield armor was replaced with a
    ferro-fibrous compound, allowing the 'mech to carry less weight in armor and still have
    improved protection against enemy fire.  The use of double heat sinks improves heat
    dissipation capability significantly, although this is offset somewhat by the increased heat
    generated by the 'mech's extended range PPC and larger LRM rack.  Although the 5J is not as
    fast as the XL engine equipped Grand Dragon's being produced at Luthien, it has a
    significant advantage in firepower and armor.

Deployment:
    The DRG-5J appears in many of the district regiments, along with several of the less
    prestigious floating regiments.
