Terror of the Depths - Unit Spotlight: Clan Diamond Shark

(It's a "Building a Unit" post mixed with a "Unit Spotlight," as I've already started this guy.)

I never intended the Sharks to be a conquering force, instead using them for trials and/or making it so that any player who wants to purchase Clantech from them would end up RPing the encounter, either as a fellow Clan player prior to the 5th SW/Jihad/Reaving, or a general player during the age of the Sea Fox.

But, Beta Galaxy is a pretty scheme and with the Wolves relinquishing control of Unzmarkt to a Shark enclave, the traders have the opportunity to eventually carve out their own niche, much like the Clan Protectorate in the Dark Ages.

Weird note - I didn't set this up like the canon Pearl Skate intentionally, because as I've stated numerous times, purely Frontline Clusters don't allow to mix and match BattleMechs with OmniMechs in the way that I like, but especially with Clan Diamond Shark, makers of the "Pissed Kitty Mk 3000" line. The Cluster Command Star is entirely Secondline designs, built around the LRM-10/LRM-20 sandblasting paradigm. I feel like Raven Ghiberti would really appreciate my approach to that. Lives, and ammo, are cheap; 'Mechs are not.

Weird note 2 - The Wendigo (and several other 'Mechs) were meant for a Nova Cat/Spirit Cat force, and the Thor II, Loki II, & Flamberge were to complete my Falcon Turkina Keshik buuuuut, and I'll be totally honest here, I fucked up by using cheap black primer that was total garbage, and I couldn't completely strip them down to redo it with better primer, but the blue of the Pearl Skate covers it well enough that I just decided to go ahead and add them here. So yeah.
