"Many months were spent on simulators and live-fire ranges to find the weapons configuration that would best suit this new design. The designers initially rejected the weapon that proved the most effective complement to a four-legged design, the large-bore autocannon. Unwilling to mount such an antiquated weapon on their new 'Mech, they spent considerable time looking for another solution. The entire project was on the verge of shutdown when Defiance Industries of Hesperus II made the breakthrough into large-bore LB-X and Ultra autocannons. An LB-X Type 20 autocannon was shipped to Tharkad, where designers mounted it on the Barghest alongside twin extended-range large lasers. This weapon configuration was extremely successful, and the new 'Mech soon began full production."
