Description

The Daimyo HQ was a heavy theater command unit utilized by the Draconis Combine.

The first Daimyo was fielded in 2796 at the beginning of the 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 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.[1]

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 Large laser gives it a serious punch at long range, while the Machine Gun defends it from infantry.[1]

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 it's full speed.[1]
