================================================================================================
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 long range and highly accurate missile boat variant, the Highwayman C is
    quite simple in its loadout. Armed with two arm mounted clan spec LRM 20s in the arms, their
    primary feature is that both are equipped with the clan technology of an Artemis V fire
    control system to allow for maximum accuracy. Added on top of its stealth armor, its ample,
    clan tech CASE protected, ammunition bins of two tons per launcher allow the configuration
    to fight as long as the classic Archer. Added on top of that its four jump jets to take
    advantage of its Partial Wing system in conjunction with its stealth armor and it becomes a
    highly maneuverable and hard to pin down threat should the enemy find its general location.
    For close ranged protection should it be found, two micropulse lasers in the side torsos as
    well as two inner sphere standard medium lasers in the center torso allow for a good enough
    close ranged weapon package for personal protection.
