Ninety years of corporate espionage and reverse engineering led to the manufacture of the MDG-1T Rakshasa. An obsolete replication of an already inferior facsimile; it is a welcome addition to the militaries of the Periphery. The “Taurian Rakshasa” leverages technologies common before the Helm Memory Core revolution and therefore compatible with readily available components. Though the obvious replication of a Federated Suns BattleMech, Taurus Territorial Industries proved successful at avoiding Taurian prejudice of all things Davion through aggressive propaganda emphasizing the Rakshasa as a Periphery duplication of the Timber Wolf. In addition, AFFS disappointment with the Rakshasa mitigated widespread deployment or promotion, thus TDF garrisons did not encounter them to develop a negative association.
