The original ''Lung Wang'' design specifications from 3055 saw an upgrade to the ''Lung Wang P2'' specifications after 3076; the ''Lung Wang P2'' was considered the Capellan Confederation's standard Assault DropShip as of [[3090]] but it is arguably not a new design but rather an upgrade/evolution of the ''Lung Wang''.

==Description==
 
==Description==
Conceived as a raider, the '''''Lung Wang''''' was designed to meet [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao|Liao's]] specifications for a craft capable of operating independently of support while holding its own against any non-[[Clan]] foe. Key to its success, the vessel is built around the new [[Xevec-19]] [[Interplanetary Drive System|drive system]]. Taking up almost a third of the ship's mass, it offers impressive speed. With the capacity to carry a standard [[Succession Wars era]] light raiding party of 'Mechs and fighters, along with considerable forward-facing firepower, the vessel ably meets those requirements.<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25>''Technical Readout: 3057'', pp. 24–25</ref>

As a testament to the belief in the design, as part of its final evaluation in [[3055]], the prototype ''Lung Wang'' took part in a raid against the former Liao world of [[Lee]], suffering heavy damage but successfully defeating a more agile and armored new-tech [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]] ''[[Avenger]]''. After this ringing endorsement, production was stepped up at the [[Rashpur-Owens Incorporated]] yards on [[Capella]] to meet the needs of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] as well as export sales to the [[Free Worlds League]] while détente between the two nations was at its peak.<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25/>

==Armament==
Intended to strike hard on its initial approach, the original ''Lung Wang''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s six nose bays are filled to near capacity with [[Gauss rifle]], twin [[ER Large Lasers]], two [[medium lasers]], [[LRM-15]] and [[LRM-20]] racks, an [[SRM-6]] launcher, an [[ER PPC]], twin [[Large Pulse Lasers]] rounded off by a single [[Medium Pulse Laser]]. The nose weaponry is bolstered by an [[AC/10]], twin medium lasers, [[LRM-10]], ER PPC, and medium pulse laser on each side facing forward. However, the vessel does have a notable weak spot, the position of the fighter and 'Mech bays limit the amount of weaponry that the ''Lung Wang'' can mount on its aft quarters, its rear-facing weapons consisting of just one ER and pulse large laser, two mediums, an LRM-20 and an SRM-6 rack, all unavailable once grounded.<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25/>

The later ''Lung Wang P2'' was modified to carry sub-capital lasers and ELRM launchers in the nose, and had additional heat sinks (see below).
  
 
==Cargo==
 
==Cargo==
The vessel's cargo capacity closely matches the preeminent [[Third Succession War]] era raider, the ''[[Leopard]]'', carrying a complete [[Lance]] of [[BattleMech]]s, two [[aerospace fighter]]s, with a third cargo bay capable of holding 314 tons and one [[Infantry]] [[Platoon]].<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25/>

The original ''Lung Wang'' could carry 314 tons of cargo; the upgraded P2 reduced this to 55.5 tons.

*;''Lung Wang'' Predator : The CCS ''[[Predator (Individual Lung Wang-class DropShip)|Predator]]'' is one of the most decorated vessels in service to the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]]. After the [[Word of Blake]] was driven from Capellan space, Rashpur-Owens refitted the ''Predator'' with several [[Experimental Technology|experimental systems]]. The forward weapons were removed and replaced with three [[Heavy Sub-Capital Laser]]s and three [[Extended LRM-20]]s. The rear arc is covered by an [[ER Large Laser]], as well as LRM-20 and SRM-6 missile launchers with Artemis IV fire control systems. Each wing has an LB 10-X, ER Large Laser, ER PPC, and twin Medium Lasers. A Medium Pulse Laser is the final wing-mounted weapon system. The most dramatic addition, however, must be the [[Mobile HPG]] system. This system allows the CCS ''Predator'' to warn the Strategios of incoming hostile forces.
