Description
The first homegrown BattleMech produced by the Draconis Combine was the Gladiator. The original Gladiator used primitive technologies, so it only had a Large Laser and two Medium Lasers. In addition, it could only manage a top speed around 64 km/h. It was protected by sixteen and a half tons of Primitive Armor. The GLD-1R went out of production in the Combine by 2488, though various minor Periphery powers picked it up later and kept it in low-level production.

Description
The first homegrown BattleMech produced by the Draconis Combine was the Gladiator. The 55-ton 'Mech took seven years to design, as Coordinator Kozo Von Rohrs refused to open up the process to anybody but a select group at New Samarkand Armor Works who were under constant surveillance. Rolling off the lines in 2468, the Gladiator was an immediate failure and was relegated to periphery militias and backwater powers. The GLD-2R carries a paltry Large Laser and twin Mediums for firepower though 12 tons of armor proved durable enough to last in a fight.

Description
The first homegrown BattleMech produced by the Draconis Combine was the Gladiator. The 55-ton Gladiator has a top speed of 86 km/h, comparable to many other 'Mechs of the same weight. Nine and a half tons of armor provides a respectable amount of protection. Five jump jets enables the 'Mech to jump up to 150 meters at a time. A bit of an odd duck, the GLD-3R is an unusual test bed design, swapping all the weapons for a pair each of LRM-10s and Medium Lasers as a kind of fire support design.

Description
The first homegrown BattleMech produced by the Draconis Combine was the Gladiator. The 55-ton Gladiator has a top speed of 86 km/h, comparable to many other 'Mechs of the same weight. Nine and a half tons of armor provides a respectable amount of protection. Five jump jets enables the 'Mech to jump up to 150 meters at a time. A PPC provides long range firepower. Two Medium Lasers are just as powerful up close and a SRM-6 exploits any holes in an enemy's armor. 13 standard heat sinks utterly fail to dissipate the waste heat generated by these weapons.
