================================================================================================
Overview:
    Positioned as a BattleMech alternative to the venerable SRM Carrier, Kepler Defense Group's
    Pommel is a slow but powerful close-in ambusher. It didn't fully catch on due to the SRM
    Carrier being 1/4th the price of the 'Mech while having four more launchers, but it still
    sees use by the Capllean Confederation in environments where the quadruped's legs will get
    it places the tracks of the Carrier won't be able to reach.

Capabilities:
    The Pommel is built on a Kepler 60Q standard chassis, which is moved by a Ceres Motors
    180-rated fusion engine and protected by 6.5 tons of Kepler Ablative Ceramosteel armor. This
    makes it slow and lightly plated for its size, so it is forced to take on an ambusher role
    for most loadouts. Electronics consist of a CeresCom Model 3 comms system and a Kepler
    AimScope 2.5 targeting & tracking system.
    
    The original PML-1 takes six Sian-Ceres Cougar SRM 6 launchers as its primary firepower,
    supplied with eight tons of missiles. This allows it to shoot 10 volleys of 36 short-range
    missiles before the 'Mech needs reloading, which has been made as quick and easy as possible
    so its downtime is minimal (though this also makes it unable to accept more than one ammo
    type at a time). This assumes there is a supply line to feed the missile-hungry 'Mech. In
    case it runs out of firepower in the middle of a fight, a Ceres Arms Small Laser provides
    emergency backup. Finally, 23 standard heat sinks are more than enough to compensate for the
    launchers' waste heat.
