Overview:
    War means money and while there is a market for expensive show boat designs, there exist
    another market. A lucrative one for cheap yet still effective and "familiar" machines armed
    with advanced technology. This is where L&D Industries make it's profits.
    
    For those clamoring for the newest designs, L&D can't help them. For those who desire an
    up-to-date mech with a proud history of reliability, L&D is here for you.

Capabilities:
    Perhaps the most common and popular design in the DCMS, the Grand Dragon is a beloved mech,
    known throughout the Inner Sphere for its effectiveness.
    
    L&D offers a low cost variant that eschews the costly XL engine, for a more easily
    maintained and durable fusion engine. At the cost of a slight drop in speed, survivability
    is further increased by the addition of a ton of armor and switching the standard composite
    plate to Ferro-Fibrous.
    
    An Endo Steel frame is utilized in order to save weight. Replacing the ER PPC, is a less
    powerful ER Large Laser. Twin MRM racks help to supplement the firepower and maintain a
    strong medium range profile. Two tons of the cheap ammunition is stored in duo CASE bins.
    And finally, a pair of ER Medium Lasers are used to add some extra short range punch.
    
    To further entice the DCMS, a C3 Slave has been installed to allow these units to
    participate in the ever growing number of C3 equipped commands.

Deployment:
    Due to the unit costing less than half the price of the DRG-5K, and it utilizing technology
    that the DCMS are trying to push (C3 and MRM), sales for this variant of the popular machine
    have started high.
