Built as a successor to the aging ''[[Dragon]]'', the 'Mech was designed with [[Technology Rating|Advanced Technology]] to allow it to handle threats of the new era. The design was phased in as a replacement to the older ''Dragon''s, which were nearing the end of their service lives. As newly built ''Dragon IIs'' were assigned to regiments, [[ISF]], and political appointees were the first to snag the 'Mech for their own uses.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp 42 Dragon II - Background.</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== While the 'Mech is slower than its predecessor, the ''Dragon II'' was designed with durability in mind. The designers used an Endo-Steel internal structure, which allows the 'Mech to carry its heavy weapons layout. To further the ''Dragon II'''s durability, LAW engineers would add a hard-to-hit [[Compact Gyro]] in place of the larger standard model. The armor protection includes 12.5 tons of Light Ferro-Fibrous Armor with [[CASE II]] protecting the artillery ammo. The weapons layout of the ''Dragon II'' allows it act as an all-range combatant, while giving it the ability to serve as an artillery fire support unit. Split between its left & central torsos is its Arrow IV Artillery System. The 'Mech carries three tons of ammunition, which in turn allows it to give its pilot a range of ammo types to choose from. While not as heavily armed with conventional weapons, the ''Dragon II'' retains the ''Grand Dragon'''s [[Lord's Light 2]] Extended-Range Particle Projection Cannon as its all-range weapon. Backing up the ER PPC is a single [[Diverse Optics Type 25PX]] Medium X-Pulse Laser, which is found in the 'Mech's left arm.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp 42-43 & 101 Dragon II - Armament & Capacities.</ref> ==Variants== *; DRG-11R : A rare variant given to the politically connected starting in [[3102]], this [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] version of the ''Dragon II'' is fitted with Clan versions of the base model's weapons.
