The Dragoon is a so called "Full Body Replacement" of the German megacorp International Electric Corporation. It was designed in Berlin "to be the most deadly weapon any army could have". No other megacorp or government was able to build a similar powerful Cyberware product - nor to copy and / or enhance it.

"The embarrassing destruction of an Arasaka installation off the coast of China opened his eyes to the possibilities of combat cyborg full-body replacements; all it took was one Dragoon to do a job that, according to Arasaka's best generals, was impossible with less than a battalion."

While (the internationally in Corpo and Solo quarters well known) Adam Smasher operates a modified variant of the standard Dragoon, pretty much no other human being ever used this FBR on a daily basis. But what not even state-run intelligence agencies of the EEC and the NUSA or the Cyber security departments of the worlds most powerful megacorps knew, is the fact that a 100% inofficially operating elite of specialists - lead by former high ranked employees of IEC, ESA, EBM, Militech, Arasaka and Zetatech - already started a new top-secret project by the year 2076. After getting their hands on the only still existing copy of the original blueprints of the Dragoon, the worlds most capable Cyberware scientists from Germany and Sweden have ever since been working on a highly customized and optimized variant of the Dragoon - the Dragoon-SA. The implemented AI nano-antibodies are reducing any cyberpsychotic effects by almost 99% and the completely new invented alloy makes the already almost indestructible armor now more than five times as effective as before and so the production of a much lighter and smaller FBR was possible.

The Dragoon-SA is ready to use.
