Below is a post I made on another forum with updated fluff and modified systems. Started as a project to build a trooper Mech, was over-complicated, and then restored to a pristine form over the years. The current design is meant to be my reinterpretation of the base chassis. Runs like a slightly slower Grand Dragon with heavy emphasis on being able to fill most niches and almost any role well. Its a Lyran design though with visual elements borrowing from the sleek (almost aerospace like), low to the ground Bushwacker and the more futuristic elements of Clan technologies (influenced by Clan Wolf-in-Exile).

Overview:
During the war against the Word of Blake, Archon Melanie Steiner sought a
technological edge against both the attacking Jade Falcons and Blakist forces
occupying her homeworld. With the loss of Hesperus II and disruption of supply
lines caused by the White Out, Archon Steiner chose to call upon her sister's,
then Duchess, Lydia Steiner's assistance.
While the blueprints were drawn up and almost completely generated by the
brilliant mind of the Archon, it was Duchess Lydia Steiner's extraordinary
skill at managing both cost and production that allowed for the the Mech to go
into mainstream production. The facilities which Duchess Steiner controlled on
the relatively safe and untouched world of Paradise went into full swing with
the Angel, named for the Duchess's nickname for her sister, becoming the
fledging Paradise LLC's flagship Mech.
Capabilities:
Working in a similar role to the Draconis Combine's Grand Dragon, the Angel
fills a versatile frontline striker role. Utilizing a targeting computer
assisted ER PPC along with LRM munitions for its twin MML-5s, th Angel can
engage most enemies at range and even provide limited indirect fire
capabilities.
Once the enemy has closed to closer the ranges, the Mech truly comes into its
own unleashing a sandblast from its quartet of Medium Lasers and SRM munitions
from the MML-5s. An integrated C3 system allows the rest of the unit to
operate at longer ranges forcing opponents to deal with pinpoint accurate
strikes regardless of distances involved. As a final selling point, the Mech's
more than capable of bringing to bear electronic countermeasures to shutdown
opposing targeting suites with an Angel ECM.
A CASE II was installed to contain potential explosions from the offset feed
loading system, a considerable weakpoint in the design stemming from a lack of
more modern compartmentalization technology and loading systems produced in
house by Paradise LLC.
