Overview:
    The CPLT-C6 Catapult continues the Catapult's traditional role as a ranged fire support
    'Mech. This new version takes advantage of the newest technologies available to the Capellan
    Confederation; namely Artemis FCS and the Confederation's new stealth armor.

Capabilities:
    As its primary firepower, the CPLT-C6 mounts a pair of Artemis controlled LRM 15 racks.
    These missile racks are each supported by two tons of ammunition; CASE equipment on both
    sides of the 'Mech guards against an ammunition explosion. For defense, the CPLT-C6 has only
    a pair of medium lasers; while these are little confort to pilots, designers intended for
    the 'Mech's primary defense to be long range and the new stealth armor. At one point,
    designers considered removing the Artemis systems, because they cannot be used when the
    stealth armor is engaged. However, since it's possible that the Catapult will find itself in
    situations where it can fire with impunity, the Artemis systems were not removed. The
    CPLT-C6 rettains the Catapult's usual jump jets, to enhance it mobility and permit to find
    better firing positions.

Deployment:
    CPLT-C6s are being deployed primarily along the Federated Suns border, with a few going to
    the League border, and a company's worth on Sian.
