==Description==
 
==Description==
Conceived as a raider, the '''''Lung Wang''''' was designed to meet [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao|Liao's]] specifications for a craft capable of operating independently of support while holding its own against any non-[[Clan]] foe. Key to its success, the vessel is built around the new [[Xevec-19]] [[Interplanetary Drive System|drive system]]. Taking up almost a third of the ship's mass, it offers impressive speed. With the capacity to carry a standard [[Succession Wars era]] light raiding party of 'Mechs and fighters, along with considerable forward-facing firepower, the vessel ably meets those requirements.<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25>''Technical Readout: 3057'', pp. 24–25</ref>

As a testament to the belief in the design, as part of its final evaluation in [[3055]], the prototype ''Lung Wang'' took part in a raid against the former Liao world of [[Lee]], suffering heavy damage but successfully defeating a more agile and armored new-tech [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]] ''[[Avenger]]''. After this ringing endorsement, production was stepped up at the [[Rashpur-Owens Incorporated]] yards on [[Capella]] to meet the needs of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] as well as export sales to the [[Free Worlds League]] while détente between the two nations was at its peak.<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25/>

==Armament==
Intended to strike hard on its initial approach, the original ''Lung Wang''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s six nose bays are filled to near capacity with [[Gauss rifle]], twin [[ER Large Lasers]], two [[medium lasers]], [[LRM-15]] and [[LRM-20]] racks, an [[SRM-6]] launcher, an [[ER PPC]], twin [[Large Pulse Lasers]] rounded off by a single [[Medium Pulse Laser]]. The nose weaponry is bolstered by an [[AC/10]], twin medium lasers, [[LRM-10]], ER PPC, and medium pulse laser on each side facing forward. However, the vessel does have a notable weak spot, the position of the fighter and 'Mech bays limit the amount of weaponry that the ''Lung Wang'' can mount on its aft quarters, its rear-facing weapons consisting of just one ER and pulse large laser, two mediums, an LRM-20 and an SRM-6 rack, all unavailable once grounded.<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25/>

The vessel's cargo capacity closely matches the preeminent [[Third Succession War]] era raider, the ''[[Leopard]]'', carrying a complete [[Lance]] of [[BattleMech]]s, two [[aerospace fighter]]s, with a third cargo bay capable of holding 314 tons and one [[Infantry]] [[Platoon]].<ref name=TRO3057Rp22-23/><ref name=TRO3057p24-25/>
