==Overview:==
"So - what mechs do you want back in production first?"

"Given everything that happened, we'd like the Blitzkreig to come back as soon
as possible; we need the firepower."

"Haha. No, seriously - what mechs do you want back?"

"I was being serious."

As awful as the above conversation may sound, it actually represents a
conversation between a representative of Coventry Metal Works and a technician
from Bander Battlemechs, which had long since formed a close working alliance
with Stormvanger Industries. 

While the Lyrans may have considered the Blitzkrieg a limited success, in the
eyes of the New Terran Hegemony the Blitzkreig was an atrocious design that
wasted most of its own potential. While the UAC/20 allowed Blitzkreig pilots
to kill their enemies quickly, its thin armor, lack of functional arms, and
total reliance on ammunition made it a liability as the Jihad wore on; only
its raw speed kept it from performing as poorly as the Cappellan
Confederation's Snake. 

With the assistance of Bander Battlemechs, the Blitzkreig's internal spaces
were completely redesigned. First to go was the UAC/20, which allowed room for
a RAC/5. The tonnage and internal space saved by this change-over allowed for
the installation of a CASE system and a full ton and a half of additional
armor, greatly increasing the lifespan of the machine on the field. Three ER
Medium Lasers were added as a final touch, allowing the mech some back-up
weapons so that the machine could fight its way to the rear in case its bins
ever ran dry. 

And thus was born the Blitzkreig II.
