================================================================================================
Overview:
    The 5X-C was originally a custom repair job built by combining different parts by an
    engineer-MechWarrior who worked on Naomi's, CTF-5MOC.
    
    Left Torso, Right Arm, Center torso, and Head Mountings of the CTF-5MOC
    Left Arm and Right Torso Mounting of most other Cataphracts.
    
    The use of different Cataphract parts to create a familiar, whole, is why this variant is
    nicknamed, Jigsaw

Capabilities:
    Twin head cappers provided by a Clan Gauss and ER PPCS, supported by a light PPC, provide
    consistent and dangerous long-range firepower.
    
    For anything that gets too close, 4 ER Mediums plus an SRM 6, is sure to exploit any
    available weaknesses an enemy must have assuredly incurred.
    
    11 tons of Heavy Ferro Fibrous provides maximum protection and despite the vulnerability of
    an XL engine, the danger is lessened through the use of a Clan-tech engine and twin
    mountings of the rare but advanced, CASE IIs.
    
    120m capable jump jets centrally located within the center torso provide mobility and though
    the 11 double heat sinks can easily be overwhelmed, they are considered adequate when
    switching between long and short range.

Deployment:
    After living through all the death of the Jihad, the creator of the "Jigsaw" became
    associated with the Thuggee Cult and accumulated enough Cataphract parts through salvage to
    outfit a full binary, infamously named "the Hands of Kali".
