================================================================================================
Overview:
    After releasing the prototype WKI-3X the scientists and DCMS high command decided that the
    time for targeting computer has not yet come and decided to replace it with more reliable,
    battle tested system. New WKI-4K should enter production to the end of the year 3068 and the
    designers hope that it will fare well against hatchet wielding mechs like Lyran Nightsky.

Capabilities:
    Still somewhat temperamental targetting computer from experimental model was replaced with
    C3 slave unit, that would allow 4K to transmit it's targeting data to it's lancemates and
    thus make good use of it's speed and the need to get close to the enemy. Large laser was
    mounted to the space left from MRM launcher, but due to constant problems with hand gettting
    hit by the laser hand actuator was removed. Loosing MRMs also removed ammo, that made
    overheating needed for engaging TSM dangerous.

Deployment:
    First lance of 4K Wakizashis, retooled prototypes actually, was sent to 1st Sword of light
    to appease the unit after the incident with No-Dachi.
