Overview:
    The United Freeman Rebellion was an event analogous to the society's part in the wars of
    reacing.  And just like in our universe the scientist caste did their best to support it.
    One solution that subfaction of the United Freeman attempted to leverage was Smart Robitic
    forces.

Capabilities:
    Weighting in a 9 tons the Diopter was a rank and file area swarm unit.  Intended to operate
    in large packs and use mass to bring down their trueborn oppressors.  To that end a LRM-5
    allows concentrated fire from large masses of Diopters while the heavy medium laser offers
    oversized punch at a cost in accuracy.  The inclusion of the ECCM is an expensive but
    necassary component less the swarm be easilly nuetralized by hostile ECM.

Deployment:
    The Diopter had limited success.  While converting industrial output into combat
    capabilities was initially off putting to over confident mechwarriors.  The limited
    calabilities and concentration of force necassary for adequate combat power soon made such
    robotic formations easy pickings for the less honorable but much more effective tools of
    artillery and cluster bombs.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Of minor interest was the tendency of robotic and drone units to be named after Scientists.
    Which just goes to show that even as you wish to be free, its difficult to break shared
    heritage.  Referring to the Clans tendency to name all units within a group besides mechs
    after a theme.
    
    
    OOC: Really need to remember to come back and add the smart robotics system someday.  Its
    not available on mordel yet.  It also takes up no mass because its a 9 ton unit.
