================================================================================================
Overview:
    If the Martel seems to be a familar design to 'Mechbuffs, it is little wonder.  The
    BattleMech has been on the cusp of production for nearly two decades.  Developed by GM as a
    fire support machine, working prototypes were developed prior to lossing a heavily contested
    bid with Johnston Industries's CES-3R Caesar design.  At multiple occasions it looked like
    the BattleMech would make it into the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth, but it was
    only with the recent development of specialized munitions that the board of directors
    authorized their R&D department to dust off the plans for the design.

Capabilities:
    The Martel has several advantages - it is capable of both direct and indirect fire support
    and its twin right arm mounted GM Whirlwind Class-5 Autocannons are among the few still
    produced with in Davion space that can fire precision and armor piercing rounds.  The
    capacious ammunition bays are specially designed to allow the pilot the option to switch
    between various types of ammunition.  Backing up the Class 5 autocannon is a left arm
    mounted Long Range Missile Launcher (LRM).  The Mech's arsenal is rounded out by the
    BlazeFire Sweet Shot ER Large Laser system.
    
    Mounting eleven and a half tons of ferro fibrous armor and with munitions protected by CASE,
    the Martel is a tenacious fighter that can take fire as well as dish it out.

Deployment:
    The Martel is currently undergoing testing with the 1st FedCom Regiment.  Should it succeed,
    GM is expected to finally allow the BattleMech to see production.

Variants:
    No variants have been produced at this time.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Francois Mitchell
    
    A crack shot, Francois was offered a Martel when he lost his beloved JagerMech in recent
    combat.  Unsure of the new design, but equally unwilling to enter the ranks of the
    dispossed, Francois signed up.  He is still getting used to the design and still refers to
    it as his GM Guinea Pig
