================================================================================================
Overview:
    It has long been an established fact that four-legged battlemechs are inherently more stable
    over rough terrain than their two-legged cousins. Unfortunately, this stability comes at the
    cost of weapon space, a price few 'mech designers are willing to pay.
    
    
    
    Weapons space, however, doesn't matter when you don't have very many weapons to start with.
    This was the thought Luthien Armor Works put into their newest scout design, the CPR-1
    Cypher.

Capabilities:
    The Cypher is a oddity among 'mechs, in that its' support weapons actually have a longer
    reach than the main gun.
    
    
    
    The 'mechs main weapon, the Victory Drumbeat Pulse Laser, is housed in a turret, much like
    the one carried by the design's ancestor, the Goliath. This turret gives the 'mech an
    unparalleled field of fire, and has made the "hull down" position a favorite among test
    pilots.
    
    
    
    The Cypher's other two weapons, a pair of Diverse Optics Extended-Range lasers, are housed
    in the torso, helping to protect the 'mech from anything that gets too close.
    
    
    
    The 'mechs true capability lies not in its weapons, but in its information-gathering
    abilities. The Diplan Beagle probe allows the Cypher to easily compete with other, faster
    scout designs, and the Matabushi Guardian ECM system protects it from being detected in
    return. This ability to see without itself being seen has made the Cypher a favorite among
    forward scouts and deep-penetration raiders as the "eyes" of the unit.
