Overview:
    Purchased in 2756 by Charles James Keys as a CHP-1N Champion the CHP-KS2A has evolved over
    the years from a high tech Star League 'Mech, to a low end Inner SPhere 'Mech and come back
    to advance beyond the technological level that it started at. Until resources to maintain
    the advanced Lubalin Ballistics 10-X Autocannon and the Artemis IV FCS the 'Mech stayed in
    its original configuration. During the Sucession Wars the mech devolved and was
    re-designated the CHP-KS1 Champion by its then cuttent owner Patrick Keys-Shumar. as the KS1
    it carried a standard Autocannon 10 and also went without the advanced fire control system
    for it's SRM 6 launcher. During the Technological revolution following the discovery of the
    Helm memory core and the Clan invasion the Champion recieved some upgrades which included an
    Ultra Autocannon. Which was destoyed in the late 3050s and replaced with a ER PPC to allow
    the Mech to stay in a firefight longer. Some later modifications were done by the government
    of the Federated Suns after the civil war which included ER Medium Lasers and a Targeting
    Computer for bravery above and beyond the call of duty during the battle of New Avalon by
    James Keys-Shumar, though some would  contend that it was because the Keys-Shumars are one
    of the last noble Mechwarior families in existance. A few months later the SRM6 was replaced
    with an advanced Streak SRM 4 when the SRM 6 system was destroyed in a battle with an
    unknown force near the Chaos March. The Streak system was also acquitred through unknown
    channells though it is suspected that it was bought on the black market.

Capabilities:
    This particular Champion has had many re-incarnations in its lifetime. In its current form
    the CHP-KS2A Champion is capable of performing its intended role better then ever as a heavy
    advance scout, though it is used more as a skirmisher and command 'Mech by James. The twin
    ER Medium Lasers give the Champion good short to medium range hitting power when combined
    with the Guided Technologies 2nd Gen Streak SRM 4 launcher. also because of the lighter
    weight of the Blackenberg PPC as compared to the older Lubalin autocannon a targeting
    computer makes shot groupings extremely accurate and makes the CHP-KS2A an incredible sniper
    if the situation arises.

Deployment:
    Charles James Keys (2756 - 2777) - Charles was the first private owner and the first noble
    of what was to become the Keys-Shumar line. He served with distinction with the Avalon
    Hussars during the Border War. He retired in 2777 and his Mech pased to his daughter Angel
    Keys-Shumar begining the Keys-Shumar line.
    
    
    
    Patrick Keys-Shumar (2863 - 2886) - Patrick was the MechWarrior in the family that was
    forced to downgrde it's weaponry, The supplies had dwindled away and drastic actions were
    neded to keep the Champion in working order. He had his family techs remove what was left of
    the old Artemis IV FCS and also had the old Lubalin Ballistics Autocannon removed and
    replaced by a Ceres Arms T Autocannon/10 imported from Menke.
    
    
    
    James Keys-Shumar (3053 - Current) - James recieved the hnor of piloting the Champion after
    his brother Timothy had purchased his own Mech in 3055. Tim decided he wanted a Mech with a
    real punch and not some old warhorse that was falling apart. (Editor's Note - Timmothy
    Keys-Shumar is believed to have been killed while fighting Clan Jade Falcon forces during a
    raid in 3054, though his body has never been re-covered,  passing both the family landhold
    and title to his brother James) James gladly accepted the Champion and immediately had it
    sent to Henderson Armamnts Inc for a full repair. The mech he got back wasnt in pristine
    condition but it looked and operated better then it had in ages. James' most recent notable
    actions were on New Avalon during the Civil Warwhere he and his unit disrupted logistics and
    help small rebel groups become established for 3 weeks before the official landing on New
    Avalon.
