================================================================================================
Overview:
    The first model designed by the "Dark Forge" to act as part of the "Archon"'s drone warfare
    element, Automated Combat Platform Model No. 363, "Black Mold" is the mainline combat drone
    for Sovereign Military Acquisitions. Reasonably well armored, reasonably armed, and
    reasonably fast, it strikes the balance of capabilities. Easily suited for offence and
    defense, the onboard drone systems will often decide its own stance in the field depending
    on data from pulled other datalinked drone systems and human operators in field. While not
    truly autonomous, its decision making programming is intensive, making it a reliable
    "battle-buddy" to units it supports, and a effective guard dog to its Archon control system.
    Despite its usefulness, the Black Mold is produced very rarely, to the point where it is
    unseen throughout the Inner Sphere, and rarely present in regions where SMA produces its war
    material. When it is seen, it is often guarding an Archon far from the frontlines, quickly
    packed up and moved on once the battle is over.
