Overview:

The Haig was poorly received, to say the least, by the LAAF. However, the High Command did see the advantage in having a mobile command mech with 2 C3 masters, and asked for submissions in 3067.
The Picton was the final result, proposed by Blue Shot. Based on the Starslayer, the Picton is considered a far better design than the 'yellow bellied' Haig.

Capabilities:

Two C3 masters comprise the centerpiece of the design, but it also packs a real bite with an ER PPC and an effective array of short ranged weapons, a streak rack and some lasers.
The Picton has identical movement rates as the Starslayer, yet in order to carry the extra weight for the C3 masters, an XL engine was installed.
The Picton is wel armored, and looks to be a mainstay of Lyran Commonwealth units in the future.

Deployment

The first run of Pictons have been sent to the Royal Guards and the Lyran Guards, all to company commanders.
