================================================================================================
Overview:
    After developement of a successful rotary autocannon, the Draconis Military needed a vehicle
    to mount it. Realizing that the DRG-5N Dragon currently in production was being outclassed
    by many other designs coming on to the field it was decided to combine the two to create a
    better vehicle while giving the RAC/5 a sturdy and reliable platform from which to fire. The
    plans submitted for the DRG-5R Dragon were accepted with alacrity and minimal retooling was
    neccesary as most of the DRG-5N remained unchanged. The first prototypes have already come
    of the line and are being tested.

Capabilities:
    The Dragon has long been a staple of the Draconis military. The DRG-5R keeps the LRM 10 for
    long range fire and also retains the two medium class lasers, one in the left forearm and
    the other in the rear left torso. The UAC/5 was removed in favor of the experimental RAC/5.
    The size of the Dragon's Breath Rotary Cannon neccesitated the removal of a ton of LRM ammo
    and the reduction of armor to 9 tons. However the Armor has been upgraded to ferro-fibrous
    to maintain protective covering. The RAC/5 holds two tons of ammo, but from test firings of
    the weapon this large amount of ammo can be depleted in a relatively short time.

Deployment:
    AS yet only 4 Dragons have come off the assembly line since the changeover. It is believed
    that these are the only 4 of this design in the field. However, reports from the clan front
    show there to be at least a company of RAC wielding Dragons engaging clan targets. It is
    unknown how these mechs got theere or where they came from but it is believed they were not
    produced within the Combine.
