================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Archer ARC-6WB was designed by the Word of Blake as an immediate successor to the
    "Clanbuster" -5CS, and supplied to the Word of Blake Militia as a "first wave" design. The
    design used cutting-edge technology for the time, equipped with advanced Long Range Missile
    Launchers that were half the weight of standard models, a reinforced internal structure, and
    advanced fire-control systems that were the best available at the time.

Capabilities:
    The Archer ARC-6WB is primarily armed with a pair of Artemis-enabled twenty-tube long
    range missile launchers which functionally represent a redevelopment of the Improved Long
    Range Missile Launchers developed by the early Clans; each supplied with three tons of
    CASE-protected ammunition, one in each side torso. As a secondary armament, three Extended
    Range Medium Lasers are mounted in each arm, while the center torso also mounts a set of
    Target Aquisition Gear as a tertiary weapon system.
    The -6WB is supplied with a modified cockpit that functions as a self-contained escape pod,
    as much to allow recovery of the expensive Improved C3 Computer mounted within the pod as
    that of the pilot. Twelve tons of Ferro-Fiberious armor on a cutting edge Reinforced frame
    make the machine notably more durable than its predecessor, while a Compact Gyro frees space
    in the torso. Twelve Double Heat Sinks keep the machine comfortably cool at its preferred
    engagement range, though can struggle in a close range brawl.
