Insignia:
The Ryuken apply the Kurita dragon crest to their BattleMechs on the left leg just above the knee and near the exhaust ports of fighters. The Ryuken insignia is a dragon curling around a Katana sword, both drawn with rich detail. The regiment’s insignia, displayed on each ‘Mech’s head is a fierce-looking feline head wearing a Japanese-style kabuto helm. Per FM: Draconis Combine, pages 126 and 127.
