================================================================================================
Overview:
    Because of the impressive production of Ceres Metals Industries, the Vindicator has become a
    common 'Mech in the units of the Capellan Confederation.  Though the Vindicator's
    capabilities might not justify such wide deployment, the design does have many advantages.
    The recovery of Star League technology has given Ceres Metals a chance to correct many
    faults of the company's biggest product.
    
    Perhaps the biggest problem for the VND-1R has been heat buildup.  Ceres Metals
    engineers plan to install double heat sinks, giving the VND-3L model greatly improved
    ability to dissipate heat, despite the removal of one heat sink.  The problem of ammunition
    explosions is being addressed with the incorporation of Cellular Ammunition Storage
    Equipment for the missile reloads.
    
    The weapons will also be upgraded, according to the latest version of the plans, with a
    pulse laser replacing the medium laser in the head and a Ceres Arms Warrior Extended-Range
    Particle Projection Rifle replacing the older Smasher model in the Vindicator's right arm.
    This design drops the Hessen Small Laser formerly carried in the left arm.
