================================================================================================
Overview:
    Created to be an achor unitvfor most battle lances by D&K Creation Studios, the Valus is one
    of four 'mechs made by the company in thanks to it helping to found a new mercenary company
    "Sequere Nos". Of particular note is like the rest of its multi-weight bracket cohort is
    that is it built using both standard Inner Sphere technology like most other D&K 'mechs, but
    that it is also mounting a standard fusion engine for maximum hardiness in battle.

Capabilities:
    Armored by twelve and a half tons of standard armor on a seventy ton endo-steel chassis,
    cooled by thirteen double heatsinks, powered by a standard two-eighty rated engine and
    mounting four jump jets for one hundred and twenty meters of distance, the Valus is
    efficient in its use of its tonnage for what its chassis mounts.
    
    The primary weapon compliment of it is simple: a standard Inner Sphere PPC with an attached
    capacitor in the right arm, three standard medium pulse lasers in the left arm for close
    ranged brawling on top of better heat control, and a small pulse laser in the head to deter
    infantry. Simple, yet effective. It gets more interesting when one understands that every
    weapon system is tied to a targeting computer mounted in the right torso to allow for the
    most bang for its buck in the accuracy department. However, this is not what makes it an
    anchor. No, what makes it an anchor is the RISC Advanced Point Defense Systen mounted in its
    center torso, fed by two tons of CASE II protected ammunition in the left torso. This allows
    the 'mech to protect no only itself, but its cohorts in its lance as well. This piece of
    technology was indeed what the chassis itself was built around.

It feels undergunned but... between the Tcom, capacitor, and extea utility from the RAMS, it does settle into a decent package.

It's only undergunned if you don't take into consideration it's a standard fusion engine'd heavy with JJs. But thanks I'm actually super proud of this little demon in particular.
