Overview:
    The Free Vortex is a heavily modified Maelstrom MTR-5K, customized to better serve in the
    mech duels of Solaris VII.

Capabilities:
    The Free Vortex is a customized Maelstrom MTR-5K which trades the small laser and TAG for a
    Guardian ECM suit and half a ton of armor, along with a switch to an Endosteel Internal
    Structure, which allows it to carry 4 jump jets. It replaces the 2 Medium Pulse Lasers with
    4 Medium Lasers, leading to an increase in both close-range firepower and heat build-up so
    Alpha Strikes are not recommended.

Deployment:
    Unique, first appeared in the mech arenas of Solaris VII in 3060, both Mech and warrior
    remained on Solaris after the pre Fedcom Civil war battles there.
