================================================================================================
Overview:
    The variant of the X001 Rook custom made for Emma Centralla. It is notably faster and is
    filled with SLDF equipment.

Capabilities:
    Radically different from "stock" X001 Rooks, the "ec" version was tailor-made for Magistracy
    heir Emma Centralla and her love for fast, maneuver warfare.
    
    The X001ec has an uprated engine. Rather, the original 300 Vlar of the Chameleon chassis the
    X001s are built on was simply returned. An extra jump jet was added to give the X001ec its
    full jump distance.
    
    The entire weapon complement has been replaced with SLDF versions. Of note is the mounting
    of two Streak SR2 packs. While it cuts the missile loadout by half, the Streaks offer more
    shots and economical ammunition usage.
    
    Concerns around the design center on two things:
    
    The first is that the mech can still run hot even if its heat sinks have already been
    upgraded to doubles. Firing the ER PPC constantly while constantly jumping could easily
    overheat the mech.
    
    The second concern is that, in order to turn the X001ec into what it is, the 300 Vlar was
    turned into an XL. While this gives the variant more tons for weapons, it makes the mech
    more vulnerable.
    
    Since the mech is issued to a veteran MechWWarrior like Emma Centralla, it's hoped she can
    mitigate the design's flaws and work with its strengths. Most people agree it's a glow up
    from her stock Vulcan.
