================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Kudu is a test mech built upon the Hyrax chassis. It was cancelled from production after
    the lance of prototypes were bested time and time again by similiar mechs, including it's
    parent Hyrax and the larger Hyrax II. This is incredibly odd due to the Streak SRM-4 packing
    a lot more punch than the ER Medium and 3 MGs it replaces on the Hyrax, as well as a lot of
    range on the MGs. The pilots put it down to the much weaker armor, however some say it was
    simply not tested thoroughly enough.

Capabilities:
    With an ER Medium Laser and Streak SRM-4 for it's only weapons, it may seem that the Kudu is
    undergunned. However this is compensated for by the Beagle Active Probe and fast speed, at
    least someone.

Deployment:
    The lance of Prototype Kudu are stored at the Shrike Heavy Industries plant on Arc Royal,
    and will likely remain there as part of the corporate garrison.
