================================================================================================
Overview:
    Description: The Cateran CRN-1A would be developed in partnership between the Regulan Fiefs
    and the Duchy of Tamarind-Abby through Ronin Incorporated on the planet Wallis VI, although
    options would also be explored to expand production to Maxwell Planetary Defense Consortium
    on Maxwell in the future. The Cateran would appeal to the up close and personnel approach
    towards combat that the Regulans gravitated towards while embracing the flexibility and
    mobility desired by military planners in the Duchy of Tamarind-Abby. With both powers
    concerned towards the developing situation along the boarder with the Wolf Empire and
    ongoing events in the Clan Protectorate it was decided that the procurement of Clan
    Technology for the design would be openly avoided.

Capabilities:
    The Cateran would feature a endo-composite structure to clear tonnage. It would mount a 300
    XL engine allowing the mech to normally move up to 64 km/h however this would be drastically
    enhanced with the addition of a super charger and MASC pushing the design to a maximum speed
    of 108 km/h when prompted. The CRN-1A's weapons complement would include a Plasma Rifle in
    the left arm supplied with 2 tons of ammo stored alongside it. A snub-nose PPC in the right
    torso. Three SRM 4's would be mounted into the Left Torso supported by two tons of CASE II
    protected ammo. To round out the weapons an M-Pod would be placed into the center torso,
    while TAG would be mounted into the head. For armored protection mech would be encased in
    13.5 tons of standard plate (216 pips), and 15 double heat-sinks would be employed for
    cooling.
