================================================================================================
Overview:
    The VND-LX is a unique design, serving in Richard's Panzer Brigade.  The 'mech was cobbled
    together from battlefield salvage.

Capabilities:
    As a fire support 'mech the VND-LX has few rivals in it's weight class.  It's paired PPCs
    give it a caliber of weaponry usually found only on heavy 'mechs.  The lack of back-up
    weapons is a vulnerability, but not a serious matter so long as the 'mech is kept well
    protected.  The twin PPCs do rack up impressive amounts of heat; however the 'mech carries a
    heat dissipation system equivalent to that carried by a Marauder, so as long as the pilot
    remembers to salvo fire his weapons, and to keep manuver to a minimum, heat remains under
    control.

Deployment:
    Only a single VND-LX is in existence, and serves with Richard's Panzer Brigade in a fire
    support lance.  The mercenary unit has tried to sell the specifications to the Ceres Metals,
    but the conglomerate rejected the design.  Given the already overtaxed state of Capellan
    technical support it was judged unwise to field a substantially different variant of a
    mainstay Capellan design.
