Overview:
       House Ryan's Denizen BattleMech is nearly a totem Mech, styled heavily after the Atlas to create a fearsome-looking assault machine. Designed for fire support, the Denizen's damage capacity is not nearly so great as it could be, but designers considered sacrificing power for range an acceptable trade.

Capabilities:
        The Denizen mounts four LB-2X autocannons, the longest-ranged weaponry a Mech can mount.  While these cannons do relatively minor damage, it is usually enough to get an enemy's attention before it can target whatever forces the Denizen backs up.  The Denizen never operates alone, and should one be caught by itself it is little match for mechs of equivelant size or even somewhat lighter.  The manueverability of the Mech does make it a difficult opponent, however, and it usually has the option of running away from many assault Mechs that outgun it.

Deployment:
       Only House Ryan fields the Denizen, spread evenly through its Home Guard as well as both the Cataract Striker and Sweeper Regiments.

Other Notes
        Lacking knowledge of the correct names, the Clans refer to the Denizen as the Rain Maker.
