================================================================================================
Overview:
    During the Civil War Era, while moving to deployment on the edge of the Concordat, the
    Taurian Expeditionary, 2nd Battalion, came across an ancient Vandenburg Miltech cache,
    hidden within a concealed storage facility. Inside, among limited amounts of
    still-functioning equipment, were numerous Talos TLS-1B chassis, in various stages of
    production. These frames were recovered, being refitted and upgraded to a new standard, with
    multiple parts such as the fire control and communications system being shared with the
    Taurian produced Marshal medium mech'. The result is the TLS-4TE, an ancient, respected
    battlemech of the age of the Star League, reborn again to fight for the Concordat. By late
    3066, roughly two dozen recovered Talos mechs were upgraded to this standard, a good number
    of them being in the stock of the Expeditionary.

Capabilities:
    The TLS-4TE has a mixed range armament, with the ability to fire effectively at most
    brackets. The right arm houses an LB-10X, with 1 tonne each cluster and slug munitions
    available, stored in the case protected left torso, allowing it to effectively engage a wide
    variety of targets. In the left and right torso sit an LRM-10 and MRM-10 respectively, each
    supported by 1 tonne of ammunition also held in the left torso. The LRM gives the Talos some
    long range punching power, and allows it to perform limited indirect fire roles. The MRM
    provides good medium to close range punch. Two medium lasers are mounted on the left arm as
    close range and fallback weapons, should the Talos' ammunition bays run low, and a small
    laser in the head provides close range anti-infantry capability. The original ten heat sinks
    are upgraded to doubles, and the weight of this weapon spread is facilitated by a Nissan 200
    XL engine, which propels the mech at standard combat speeds. The 4TE is protected by a
    respectable 9.5 tonnes of Durallex Medium Ferro Fibrous armour.
