Overview:
       The Star League Army introduced the Black Knight into service in 
   2578. The Black Knight's heavy armor and offensive power make it the 
   ideal command 'Mech for front-line units. At the same time, the 
   arsenal of weapons allows the 'Mech to operate effectively on its 
   own.
         The communication system employs the latest technology 
   to link the Black Knight with orbital satellites. The new Beagle 
   Active Probe furthers the performance by picking up a much wider 
   range of information and relaying it instantly to the pilot. The 
   Beagle Probe can pierce standard ECM devices at short range and 
   provide instant cataloguing of all military machines.

Capabilities:
       The Black Knight supports 13 tons of armor on an Endo Steel II 
   frame. This structure provides all the support of a standard skeleton 
   twice its weight. The resulting lighter frame allows the 'Mech to 
   mount a heavier weapon mix and ample armor.
         If the 'Mech 
   has a problem, it is with heat build up. Even with 20 heat sinks, the 
   'Mech can still overheat quickly if the pilot is not careful with his 
   weapon-fire selection.
         The 'Mech's main weapon is the Magna 
   Hellstar II Particle Projection Cannon, which provides quick and 
   deadly firepower.
         Twin McCorkel Large Lasers provide 
   additional might. A head-mounted Magna small laser rounds out the 
   weaponry and offers the advantage of being tied directly to the 
   Beagle Active Probe. This   tie-in allows the Beagle's scanner to 
   ride a low-power laser pulse through any interfering objects. Due to 
   the limited range of the laser, this is done only for analyzing the 
   detail of nearby objects.
