================================================================================================
Overview:
    Faced with the prospect of replacing the large number of DRG-1N Dragons in the DCMS, the
    high command decided that it would be economically more feasible to upgrade the old Mechs
    instead.
    
    
    
    For this purpose, the DCMS appointed Diplan Mechyards to design the refit, stressing that
    the refit had to include a C3 link.

Capabilities:
    Diplan has replaced the old AC/5 with an ER PPC and has included a complete revamp of the
    DRG-1N's cooling system.
    
    
    
    The tonnage freed up was used to replace the old LRM with the MRM-20 system, which was
    shifted to the left torso as the new loading mechanism could not fit in the old location.
    This in turn required the shifting of the new ER ML (two of them that replace the two old
    medium lasers) to be moved into the centre torso.
    
    
    
    The single ton of MRM ammo was then covered in CASE to prevent the lost of the Mech to an
    ammo explosion.
    
    
    
    Diplan also integrated the C3 successfully into the package, allowing the new DRG-2K to link
    with other C3 equipped units.
    
    
    
    Last, but not least, the armour was replaced by a heavier Ferro Fibrous shell that increased
    protection by mor than 17%.

Deployment:
    The first kits have arrived for the Benjamin Regulars and have met with distaste from the
    Techs responsible for implementing the refits.
    
    
    
    The amount of work required to replace the cooling system and install the MRM-20 has led to
    at least one disgruntled tech being court martialled after he refused to perform the work.
    
    
    
    Pilots of the refitted Mech have been generally happy about the refit, with most welcoming
    the ER PPC, ER Lasers and heavier armour. However, some have questioned the loss of the LRM
    system and the small number of reloads available to the MRM-20.
