| The 
          Star League Army introduced the Black Knight into service in 2578, designing 
          the 'Mech to primarily serve the role of a company or battalion command 
          unit. Its heavy armor gives the Black Knight the staying power needed 
          to make it an ideal command 'Mech for front-line units, and its ample 
          arsenal of weapons allows the 'Mech to effectively fill more aggressive 
          combat assignments. The communications system originally installed in 
          the Black Knight was state-of-the-art even by Star League standards. 
          It effortlessly coordinated communications for an entire company at 
          once, and could link together the command frequencies of a whole regiment 
          if necessary. Because its targeting computer was directly tied into 
          the Black Knight's sensors, the 'Mech's on-board computers were able 
          to identify targets before the unit established line of sight. The centerpiece 
          of the Black Knight's arsenal is the Magna Hellstar II particle projection 
          cannon mounted on the outside of the right arm. The positioning of the 
          weapon creates the impression that the Black Knight is wielding an immense 
          sword made of lightning in the hundredths of a second it takes for the 
          weapon to fully discharge. | ||||||
