Overview:
The Wolf Trap, the Federated Commonwealth codename for House Kurita's answer to
the Wolfhound, is a rubric likely to stick, even though the Draconis Combine
will doubtless give it some Japanese name.  This 'Mech has been on the drawing
boards for years, only recently entering extensive field testing.  One of the
first completely new designs to emerge since the recovery of Star League
technology, it will be a bellwether to see if other realms, such as the Free
Worlds League and Capellan Confederation, rush to produce new designs instead
of revamping old ones.

 Nearing production at a top-security wing of Luthien Armor Works, the Wolf
Trap is expected to be a blend of proven systems and advanced technology.
Prototypes have extra-light engines and Endo Steel internal structure.  The
advanced engine provides good speed, and so the designers have not equipped the
Wolf Trap with jump jets.  The weapons mix is not one that generates great
amounts of heat, and so the Wolf Trap prototypes do not have bulky double heat
sinks.

 The 'Mech's weaponry is designed to deliver heavy damage at long range and
follow up with even more firepower as the range closes.  The Victory 23R Medium
Lasers and Shigunga Long-Range Missiles are proven systems, in use on many
'Mechs across Kurita space.  The Imperator Code Red LB 10-X Autocannon is still
an official secret, promising but untested.  If the prototypes continue to
perform well, the Wolf Trap is expected to begin production within six months.
