================================================================================================
Overview:
    Thanks to a deal with the Raven Alliance, D&K Creation Studios was feeling absolutely
    inspired in making this 'mech. Weighing at 70 tons standard and with a mixed tech approached
    between Inner Sphere and Clan technology, the Highwayman is mostly a new attempt at an
    omnichassis from a company that until recently was lacking in the creative juices to really
    create more than just refits of classic 'mechs used across the inhabited galaxy. With a
    running speed of 64 kph on a 280 rated standard engine, 11 engine mounted clan spec heat
    sinks, and twelve and a half tons of stealth armor on a clan spec endo-steel chassis, it
    should be noted that the chassis originally came to be thanks to tales of four notable
    mercenary companies and their storied histories. That is what leads to its armored cockpit,
    its compact gyroscope, its partial wings, and its stealth armor with head mounted ecm suite.
    The Highwayman is meant to be a successful omnichassis, yes, but it's also meant to be part
    of the living history of the Deadfire Tyrants, the Strange Bedfellows, the Borrowed Wings,
    and the Sly Headsmen.

Capabilities:
    Created to be a command unit variant of the Highwayman, the B variant is created around its
    four tons of communications equipment, meant to allow the machine to use its stealth
    capabilities and high mobiility to stay safe. To help the 'mech poke holes and eliminate the
    enemy, the 'mech mounts two clan spec ER Large Lasers, one in the right arm and one in the
    center torso. To help deter infintry, two Small Xpulse Lasers are mounted in the left arm.
    Finally, to help keep cooling to a reasonable level, six more double heat sinks were mounted
    to the chassis.
