Overview:
    The story of MUSE WHITE's lightest member is one filled with irony—The Hussar was by then
    largely considered a Lyran machine and its use during the Federated Commonwealth Civil War
    had largely blackened the design in the eyes of the AFFS. General Motors, however,
    discovered both legal documents dating to the period granting them a manufacturing license
    for the light mech and a large quantity of tooling already in existence, having been
    warehoused on New Avalon just prior to the conflict's outbreak and promptly forgotten about
    in the chaos. As a result, the Hussar would be added to MUSE WHITE as the lightest machine
    in the program - and among the more expensive.
    
    Hoping to overcome the design's poor ouder with the AFFS by wowing with the very best
    technology available, the HSR-9000 was given the same basic systems as all MUSE WHITE
    designs, the majority of which General Motors already possessed license and capacity to
    manufacture—and shared with the full spread of other designs released by the program. This
    would be one of the few MUSE WHITE production lines to remain following the program's
    failure, retooled in 3098 to produce the HSR-9001, which stripped many of its most advanced
    (and therefore expensive) systems in favor of a more conventional, and more heavily armed,
    configuration. By 3124 the design was officially extinct, with no examples known to have
    survived to the modern day.

Capabilities:
    Weapons & Equipment
    The HSR-9000 is, like its predecessor design, armed with only a single weapon in a flexible
    backpack turret mount—unlike the original, this is a Johnston Parti-Kill snub-nosed
    particle cannon rather than a laser, allowing the design to better leverage its speed as a
    mid-range harasser and flanker. The rest of the machine, however, has undergone nearly
    complete redesign—a 240 rated Extra Extra Light engine fitted with a Supercharger allows
    the machine to reach speeds even faster than the original when its triple-strength myomers
    are engaged, and the Hollis Mark II reinforced frame holds seven tons of Kallon Royalstar
    standard armor plating - offering far better protection than the original.
    The cockpit assembly has been completely redesigned to accommodate both a “back seat”
    and C³ slave unit without impacting usability, while an Angel ECM system in the right torso
    provides protection against jamming and various useful electronics warfare abilities. Ten
    double heat sinks provide plenty of cooling for the machine—and in practice, are typically
    managed at partial capacity by the unit's “back seat” to maintain the temperature
    required by the -9000’s advanced myomers.
    While the Dalban Micronics communication suite does not possess the same power as the
    original Randar systems fitted to the classical Hussar design, the HSR-9000 retains the
    original ruggedness of design in spite of the bleeding edge (for the day) technology
    involved in its construction.
    
    The HSR-9000 possesses the Directional Torso Mount (CT), Rugged I, Easy to Pilot, and
    Extinct (3124) Design Quirks.
