'''Daimyo HQ''' was a heavy theater command unit utilized by [[Draconis Combine]].
  
The first Daimyo was fielded in [[2796]] at the beginning of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] by [[Jinjiro Kurita]], who used the vehicle during the [[Kentares Massacre]]. While the [[Coordinator]] attended executions in person, the Daimyo HQ's crew transmitted the data to [[ComStar]] representatives on the planet who then sent the data through the whole [[Inner Sphere]]. When [[Jinjiro_Kurita|Jinjiro]] discovered the treason, the whole crew of the unit was executed. Daimyo production ceased between the years [[3027]] and [[3063]] because the unit's communication system technology become a form of [[Lostech]].<ref name=TRO3075/>

==Armament & Capacities==
The Daimyo weighs twice as much as a standard [[Mobile HQ]], using the additional tonnage to increase its defensive armament and add 7 tons of armor. Its [[RAMTech 1200]] [[large laser]] gives it a serious punch at long range, while the four [[Type 87]] [[Machine Gun]]s defends it from infantry.<ref name=TRO3075/> Most Daimyo variants have a four ton [[Infantry]] Compartment as well, but whether this is to provide accommodations for a security team or headquarters staff is not clear.

Daimyo weighted twice as much standard [[Mobile HQ]] did, sacrificing additional tonnage to increased defense capabilities and 7 tons of armor. Large laser give it serious punch on longer range, while [[Machine Gun]] secure it from infantry.
  
A unique feature of the Daimyo is the expandable sides, which create a large room inside the unit with a holotank displaying a real-time overview of the battlefield for the commander and a few additional officers. The vehicle can travel with its sides expanded, although this renders it unable to achieve its full speed.<ref name=TRO3075/> It also carries seven tons of [[Communications Equipment]].<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 92</ref>
