Overview:
    Clan Donka had already developed the 85 ton Buccaneer when Comstar envisioned their 55 ton
    ton of the same name. The XD Buccaneer is built with a 340 XL Engine that weighs thirteen
    and half tons giving the 'Mech a top speed of 64.2 kph and a jump range of 120 meters. It
    also carries an impressive sixteen and a half tons of standard armor, the maximum amount of
    protection the 'Mech can carry. The Buccaneer utilizes eleven double heat sinks that
    dissipate twice as much heat as standard heat sinks.

Capabilities:
    Designed primarily for to be an urban brawler, the Buccaneer carries a single LB-10X
    Autocannon and an LRM-20 for longer ranges. Its short range arsenal, the Buccaneer excels at
    close combat. With the elevation of melee combat to an art, the Buccaneer's most fearsome
    weapon is its six ton Hatchet or cutlass. For combat at medium to close ranges, the
    Buccaneer has a Large Pulse Laser and twin ER Medium Lasers backed up by a single ER Small
    Laser. For increased accuracy, all of the Buccaneer's direct fire weapons are controlled by
    a four ton targeting computer and its LRM is equipped with Artemis IV FCS.
