Overview:
    The Goliath is the second four-legged design 'Mech?, built in 2652, by the Brigadier
    Corporation. The Goliath is based on Brigadier Corporation?s lessons learned from their
    first four-legged design the Scorpion. The most drastic change made by Brigadier
    Corporation, is the Goliath weighs in at 80 tons placing it in the assault class of
    battlemechs. Its four-legged stability provides for a sturdy firing platform. Goliaths are
    an assault 'Mech, but are not a common sight, due to the undeserved bias against held about
    quad 'Mechs.

Capabilities:
    The SLDF Royal Goliath swaps its Brigadier 1000F engine for a Brigadier 2000A 320 XL freeing
    up space to carry an extra ton of armor and its new weapons loadout.  The Royal Goliath
    GLH-01Gr carries a Skobel MechWorks M-7 Gauss Rifle plus a Hegemony Research and Development
    Depart LB-10X AC in a paired turret mount. To protect the ammo for the LB-10X AC and from
    explosions of the M-7 Gauss Rifle this redesign incorporates Cellular Ammunition Storage
    Equipment (CASE). These weapons are backed up by four paired ChisComp 38 medium lasers and
    ChisComp 32 small lasers, with pairs firing forward and the second pairs firing rearward,
    for all around coverage.

Deployment:
    In the mid-28th century the SLDF Royal Divisions found themselves looking to combine two
    massive weapon system, that most 'Mechs cannot handle together. The massive Goliaths
    four-legged stability and resulting stable firing platform, allowed for a heavy weapons
    payload and still carry a respectable armor coverage while retaining  mobility. In 2758 the
    SLDF approached Brigadier Corporation about designing a Goliath for the SLDF Royal
    Divisions, and in 2761 the first Goliath GLH-01Gr?s were delivered to the SLDF. (Note:
    Piloting a Goliath is on a volunteer basis.)

Notable MechWarriors:
    Max "Outlaw" McCoy
    In 2761 Outlaw was the first Mechwarrior from a SLDF Royal Division to volunteer as a pilot
    of the new Goliath GLH-01Gr and test its capabilities.
    He is also the first and only Mechwarrior ever Gunslinger Program Graduate to use a Goliath
    in a fight between a Gunslinger and a House Kurita ronin, and after only twenty-five minutes
    of combat Outlaw had destroyed his opponent?s Mech?. Adding another first to his record and
    infamy as a Quad legged Mech? pilot.
