Overview:
    One of the first homegrown Capellan Confederation 'Mech designs, the Linebarrel was the
    entry point of Calpaca's Kepler Defense Group into the market of BattleMechs in 2485; its
    finalized version, the 3L, would arrive in 2501. Meant to be a heavy brawler that could take
    a good amount of punishment while having plenty to give back,  it was built to be placed
    squarely in the emerging assault weight class while having surprising mobility for something
    of its tonnage.

Capabilities:
    The 90-ton Linebarrel is built on K.D.G.'s second ever 'Mech chassis, the Kepler 90A, which
    supports a Ceres Motors 360 fusion engine and 10 tons of Kepler Ablative Ceramosteel
    plating. While relatively light protection for an assault-class, it was justified as being
    in line with most 'Mechs in the emerging brawler archetype. It also has two Pitban 3000 Jump
    Jets on its back for clearing obstacles, as well as slowing falls if it has to make a
    perilous leap. As for its electronics, a CeresCom Model 4-B handes communications, while an
    in-house Kepler AimScope 1.8 handles targeting and tracking.
    
    The primary weapon of the Linebarrel 1L is a Kepler 120mm Autocannon/10 with one ton of
    ammo, providing 10 shots before requiring external reloading. It also has a Kepler 15-Bolt
    LRM-15, which itself has one ton of ammo - while generally considered insufficient, the
    weapon was not meant to be fired often according to the 'Mech's design documentation and
    thus such a deficiency was considered acceptable. Finally, for ammo-independent backup
    weapons, it has two Fimir Standard Medium Lasers and two Firmir LaserLite Small Lasers. 13
    standard heat sinks are used to cool this package.
    
    The Linebarrel is designed to not need maintenance nearly as often as other 'Mechs, but as
    part of this the Autocannon's mechansims were simplified to the point that it could not
    hotswap ammunition even if the Linebarrel itself was modified to carry more than one ton and
    also suffered from having less protection due to bulkier components.
