================================================================================================
Overview:
    Luthien Armor Works purchased the Koschei manufacturing equipment from the struggling
    Earthwerks Limited during the Fourth Succession War. Modeled off of the KSC-4L, LAW's design
    borrowed most of its weapons from the Grand Dragon, with the newly designed Lord's Light 2
    ER PPC being a new addition. The Olympian flamer was also a minor win for LAW, considering
    they had not previously had the in-house manufacturing capabilities for 'Mech-grade flamers.
    
    The VOX-branded 325 standard fusion engine and top speed of around 86 kph were retained from
    the existing Koschei design, and most weapon hardpoints were kept mostly intact. The Artemis
    system was scrapped as being too expensive. The Luthien Armor Works bean counters reasoned
    that 2 LRM 5s at roughly 20% of the cost of an LRM 15 + Artemis IV system would be adequate
    considering the performance of the ER PPC (which was ironically slightly more costly to
    manufacture than the replaced LRM system from the 4L). The expensive ER PPC system and
    vulnerable ammo were sandwiched between other, cheaper components in the side torsos, with
    CASE remaining included to protect the expensive center components.
    
    While it would have been simple for the Grand Dragon design to have housed the primary
    weapons load of an ER PPC and 10 tubes of long-range missiles, the Koschei was chosen as the
    first production run for the Lord's Light 2 in order to prevent any issues with the model
    from tarnishing the reputation of the DRG-LAW, which was one of Luthien AW's most profitable
    BattleMechs.
