The MUG_K3 Magus was designed be general motors as 
a medium class fire support mech.  Used in most house 
militaries, the mech's standard equipment is often replaced 
with more readily available hardware.  It has good speed 
compared to most mechs in its class and can often keep 
its opponents at range.

Capabilities:
The Magus' Mydron Medium Autocannon and its Magna 
Hellstar PPC are rated for almost the exact same range 
values and can be used to lay down a supressive fire from 
long range for extended periods of time.  While the 
Autocannon only holds twenty combat rounds, the PPC by 
itself can still be a formidable weapon.  Many critics of the 
design criticise the lack of secondary weapons in the 
design, but in its intended role the Magus is well equiped.  
Made with run of the mill electronics, the Magus is not 
always the most fantasic unit C-bills can buy, but it is easily 
repaired.  However, some technitions have complained 
that the myromer bundles in the legs are prone to wear 
and tear, a problem that has yet to be fixed by GM.

Deployment:
The Magus has seen action in every house in the inner 
sphere and many mercenary units.  however, it is found in 
largest numbers in the federated commonwealth.  In one 
notable situation, a firebase in the federated 
commonwealth was raided by the draconis combine.  the 
supply lines were cut and the Commonwealth units were 
running low on ammunition.  Just as the Kurita mechs were 
about to advance for the kill, the remaining 
Commonwealth units rushed forward with such a fury that 
they unexpecting kuritas were driven back 3 kilometers to 
a deep gorge. Only the jump capable kurita mechs 
survived to fight again.
