'''Drew Samson''' was a [[Taurian Concordat]] [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] operating in the [[ilClan era]].<ref name=RGv31p13/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
A member of a [[House Samson|noble house]] on [[MacLeod's Land]], Drew Samson was veteran a ''[[Clint]]'' pilot in the [[Concordat Commandos]]. When supply bottlenecks of the [[Pontiac Light]] [[AC/5]] threatened to hamper new production of the ''Clint'', Drew Samson suggested instead that the [[LB 10-X AC]]'s used on the ''[[Marauder]]'' would be a good alternate option. Though requiring a major rework and redesign to allow the gun housing to mount a weapon twice its calibre, it avoided leaving virtually completed 'Mechs gathering dust on assembly lines.<ref name=RGv31p13/><br />
<br />
Receiving a hefty bonus for his suggestion, Drew Samson would receive popular acclaim with the rest of his unit when they were the first to receive these new variants, eagerly offering to aid in the introduction of the new 'Mech by offering familiarization training to new pilots.<ref name=RGv31p13/><br />
