======================================================================================
Overview:
    Because of the impressive production of Ceres Metals Industries, the Vindicator
    has become a common 'Mech in the units of the Capellan Confederation.  Though the
    Vindicator's capabilities might not justify such wide deployment, the design does
    have many advantages.  The recovery of Star League technology has given Ceres
    Metals a chance to correct many faults of the company's biggest product.
    
    Perhaps the biggest problem for the VND-1R has been heat buildup.  Ceres
    Metals engineers plan to install double heat sinks, giving the VND-3L model
    greatly improved ability to dissipate heat, despite the removal of one heat sink.
    The problem of ammunition explosions is being addressed with the incorporation of
    Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment for the missile reloads.
    
    The weapons will also be upgraded, according to the latest version of the
    plans, with a pulse laser replacing the medium laser in the head and a Ceres Arms
    Warrior Extended-Range Particle Projection Rifle replacing the older Smasher model
    in the Vindicator's right arm.  This design drops the Hessen Small Laser formerly
    carried in the left arm.
