================================================================================================
Overview:
    Nimakachi Fusion Products Ltd., the sole producer of the Spider, has recently announced
    plans to upgrade the 'Mech with recovered Star League-era technology.  The Free Worlds
    League is the primary customer for Nimakachi's limited production of the Spider, but House
    Marik has indicated no intention of increasing the number of Spiders in its service.  As it
    would be economic folly for the firm to retool its factories simply to produce sixteen or so
    'Mechs per year, it is likely that one or more of the other Great Houses or mercenary units
    have placed orders with Nimakachi for the upgraded version.
    
    The new SDR-7M Spider will incorporate an endo steel internal structure and
    ferro-fibrous armor to provide comparable protection at less weight.  This change will allow
    Nimakachi to replace the original Spider's two medium lasers with new Tronel XII medium
    pulse lasers.  For the price of slightly less armor protection, the new Spider will greatly
    improve its firepower.
    
    With improved firepower added to its excellent speed and jumping ability, the SDR-7M
    Spider will have more uses and thus greater appeal to all the Inner Sphere's armed forces.
    House Marik's good relations with House Kurita and the Draconis Combine's relative shortage
    of factories for light 'Mechs make it likely that Gunji no Kanrei Theodore Kurita is the
    motivating force behind the new design.
