================================================================================================
Overview:
    Note: This is a custom Jupiter. Also i did not put CASE into this design (again!) due to
    laziness but I assume the people in here are knowledgable enough to know that CASE comes
    free with any Clan Design.
    
    ;)
    
    
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    
    
    Designed by Clan Jade Falcon as the answer to IS Atlas, the Jupiter boasts a medley of long
    ranged weapons capable of tearing up the opposing Death's Head at long range.
    
    
    
    The long ranged design also makes it useful as a fire support design.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

Capabilities:
    In an attempt to improve the firepower over the original Jupiter, this variant of the
    Jupiter swaps out the 4 Ultra AC5s for a pair of Gauss Rifles with 4 tons of ammunition. The
    LRM-15s have being upgraded with Artemis IV FCS systems and feature another ton of reloads
    per launcher.
    
    
    
    As a result, the mech is capable of fighting over longer periods of time and boast 4 weapons
    with heavy knockout punches. Mainly the dual Gauss rifles and ERPPCs.
    
    
    
    The mech's 17 double heatsinks and near 20 tons of armor have being unchanged, giving the
    mech decent cooling ability while having a very thick hide.
    
    

Deployment:
    Several Stars of this new machine have being deployed among Jade Falcons. Not a very popular
    mech, the ammunition dependence makes it a poor extended combat design.
