------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Probably Hanse Davion's greatest prize in the Fourth Succession War was
the main Earthwerks BattleMech factory on Tikonov. This had been far and away
the largest 'Mech producer in the Capellan Confederation and had a major wing
devoted to the Cataphract, House Liao's successful heavy 'Mech design. An
updated version of the Cataphract has the highest priority for the combined
Federated Commonwealth armed forces, but the extensive nature of the changes,
the size and integrated systems of the Cataphract assembly area, and the age
of the Earthwerks factory have combined to set the project behind schedule.
As a result of the Chaos March, however, the Tikonov factory at which most
of the Davion models were made is now not securely in Davion hands; in
addition, new advancements in technology have been made since the introduction
of the 3D version. As such, we now have the Cataphract III.
==Capabilities:==
Of the changes, the most radical is that of retrograding the engine back
down to normal. This was accomplished by switching the structure over to endo,
and by downgrading the LB-10X to an LB-5X, a weapons system not available when
the 3D was designed.
Another major change is the substitution of the right arm-mounted UAC/5
for a RAC/2. Although the individual rounds do not do the same level of
damage, the weapon system still packs more of an overall punch.
Not only did the retrograding of the engine add to the surviveability of
the machine, but so did the addition of a Guardian ECM as well as near-full
armor. An additional medium laser gives the machine additional ability to
fight even after the ammunition for its massive cannons has gone dry.
