================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Nightlord was a Clan Star Adder Prototype created during the development of the Star
    Adder.
    
    [A quick submission to save an ancient (15+ years old) draft for posterity. This one's not
    by me; please view it as an homage!]

Capabilities:
    The Nightlord is very similar to the production Blood Asp, having only a slightly reduced
    pod space payload in favor of even greater armor. Only the fixed leg-mounted heat sinks
    betray it as a prototype, slightly reducing versatility.

Deployment:
    As the Nightlord is basically the same OmniMech as the Star Adder, its use has never
    specifically been documented. Solitary examples have been taken into combat by exceptional
    individuals and its reptuation in trials is unparalleled.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Star Captain Drake Osis: taken as bondsman from Clan Smoke Jaguar during the 3050s, Drake
    Osis escaped his parent Clan's annihilation by the Second Star League. In his new parent
    Clan, the Star Adders, he is known as a particularly skilled pilot. That he has remained a
    Star Captain is a sign of his personal modesty.
    
    Scientist Jag: Jag was born into a warrior sibko, but discovered a passion for various
    sciences at an early age. Joining the Nightlord/Blood Asp design team to add a warrior's
    insight, he was instrumental in the new OmniMech's creation. While he continued piloting the
    Nightlord for some time after its inception, he petitioned with his Khan to voluntarily join
    the scientist caste in the mid-3060s.
