================================================================================================
Overview:
    Labelled as the Awesome's little brother by Defiance Industries engineers, the Cavalry is
    the latest mech to walk off its prestigious mech factory from Hersperus II.
    
    
    
    A combination of speed and firepower, the Cavalry is destined a place in mobile armor
    combat. Plus the energy based loadout, will ensure the mech will run longer than its pilots,
    ever.

Capabilities:
    With a pair of Defiance 1001 PPCs, the Cavalry can easily disable most light mechs with 2
    knockout punches while maintaining its top speed of 81 km/h. The 11 double strength freezers
    ensure the Cavalry pilot that even when he is firing the paired PPCs while dashing across
    the field at 81 km/h, the mech will not have a single heat spike ever.
    
    
    
    For close range defence, the Cavalry mounts a pair of Defiance Model XII ER medium lasers in
    each arm. The er lasers offer a substantial boost when compared to the older models.
    Although alot hotter, the 11 double strength freezers will keep the mech cool. A single
    Norse-Storm Guardian ECM rounds out the items package, making the Cavalry a wily foe.
    
    
    
    The odd choice of not using Endo-steel and Ferro-Fibrous might cause some to scratch heads,
    but our Blessed Order believes that the mech was rushed into production, hence lacking the
    time - consuming modifications for Endo-steel and FF armor.
    
    
    
    Thus in order to free up more tonnage, the Cavalry uses a Light engine. Although much more
    costly, its much faster and easier to mass produce the engine than refitting every single
    Cavalry with Endo-steel and FF armor. Anyway its a sound decision, with the mounting
    hostilities.
    
    
    
    Although lacking advanced FF armor, the Cavalry does not disappoint in protection. 13 tons
    of Durallex Heavy armor, ensures the mech will be well protected head to toe.

Deployment:
    Currently all Cavalrys are being shipped en masse to all LAAF front line units, obviously
    intended to fight off the Davions. Defiance has make a point to ensure that all Cavalrys
    will not be sold to any power.
