Overview:
    The AS7-CM III is the Federarted Suns version of the C3 Command Atlas. Keeping much of the
    firepower from the AS7-D Atlas that it is based on, it upgrades several components to create
    the space and tonnage needed to mount a C3 Master Computer. This mech often sees deplyment
    as the command unit of a C3 Assault Lance or Company. Often when commanding a company 2 are
    placed in the command lance to perpetuate the extra C3 Master needed to tie in a full
    company. However there is an AS7-CMM being produced in limited numbers that carries two of
    the C3 Master systems on a single machine.

Capabilities:
    The upgrade of the AC/20 to an LBX version with three tons of ammunition makes the AS7-CM
    III a very fearsome opponent. This devastating weapon literally shreds opponents. The
    lowering of the LRMs from a 20 rack to a 15 rack somewhat reduces the long range power of
    this fearsome machine, however with the C3 system's benefits, it can have hyper accurate
    targeting of its weapons at the very far edges of their ranges, which more than makes up for
    this especially when a lancemate is carrying a large array of long range weaponry. The
    medium lasers, including 2 year facing to protect it from faster mechs entering its rear
    arc, and the Streak SRM 4 shot rack provide a brutal close range punch, especially when
    combined with the class 20 LBX autocannon no matter what type of ammunition it is firing.
    
    
    
    Replacement parts for this unit are quite easy to find, as the medium lasers are the same as
    the AS7-D, as are all structural components, engine, and gyro. The LRM-15 is the same model
    as mounted in the Stalker STK-5M. The LB 20-X is the same model mounted by the King Crab
    KGC-0005/KGC-0006.

Deployment:
    The AS7-CM III is produced by both Shrike Heavy Industries, and Blackwell Heavy Industries,
    thus it sees deployment throughout both Davion and Steiner space, as well as with the Wolf's
    Dragoons, Kell Hounds, and Shrike's Talons mercenary units. The Blue Star Irregulars and
    Eridani Light Horse have also ordered several of these, however it is unknown if either
    company will accept the orders without a full supply contract with these units.
