================================================================================================
Overview:
    Created to be the premier Battlemech of the Vesper Marches, made from retooling a Marksman
    creation line on Melissia and acquiring the rights to produce a small pulse laser and light
    AC/2, the Charonia CHAR-01 is created with a very simple premise in mind: Make a hard
    hitting battlemech with the ability to fight at longer ranges while still providing good
    firepower as it closes in, all with the added bonus of using as much localally made
    equipment as deemed reasonable for the task.

Capabilities:
    With this in mind, the skunkwerks at Grumman Industries were lucky that they made use of the
    RAMTech 500 Large Laser for their Marksman sniper tank, as a pair of those make up the
    primary weapons systems of the machine. backing these twin lasers are a triplet of Mydron
    Light AC/2s, one apiece to match the large lasers in the arm and one mounted in the head. To
    allow the 'mech better knife fighting ability as well as to deter any infantry threats, two
    Diverse Optics small pulse lasers are mounted in the central torso.
    
    To help keep the design protected, eleven tons of Grumman CRT ferro-fibrous armor is backed
    up by the two tons of LAC/2 ammunition being protected with CASE. To help keep the design
    cool running with its weaponry running at full blast, eleven double heat sinks are mounted
    in the chassis.
