================================================================================================
Overview:
    Description: The Cateran CTN-1A would be developed in partnership between Venkateswara and
    Technicron. It would represent the culmination of a flurry of military development directed
    by Fontaine Bret-Marik to re-equipment and strengthen the military forces of the Duchy of
    Tamarind-Abby. The Cateran would embrace the flexibility, mobility, and utility desired by
    military planners in the Duchy eying a future conflict with either the Lyran Commonwealth or
    Wolf Empire. With a serious and growing concern towards the evolving situation along the
    border with the Wolf Empire and ongoing events in the Clan Protectorate it was decided that
    the procurement of Clan Technology for the Battlemech would be openly avoided. Upon release
    onto the battlefields of the Innersphere the Cateran CTN-1A would find itself slotted into
    wide variety of lances thanks to its ability to contribute across a multitude of rolls.

Capabilities:
    The Cateran would feature an endo-composite structure and XL engine to clear tonnage. The
    300 XL engine would allow the mech to normally move up to 64 km/h however this would be
    enhanced with the addition of a super charger pushing the maximum speed to 85 km/h when
    engaged. The installment of 4 jumps jets would further push the mobility of the design. The
    CRN-1A's weapons complement would include a plasma rifle in the left arm supplied with 2
    tons of ammo stored alongside it. A heavy PPC in the right torso, and a pair of SRM 4's
    mounted into the left torso supported with two tons of CASE II protected ammo. Finally, a
    TAG would be mounted into the center-torse. For protection the mech would be encased in 13
    tons of standard plate (208 pips). Advanced protective measures would be found in the
    addition of a head mounted anti-missile system supported by one ton of ammo and an angel ecm
    suite located in the right torso. 16 double heat-sinks would be employed for cooling.
