================================================================================================
Overview:
    The ASN-2000 was developed by the Maltex Corporation as a competetor for the popular Spector
    battlemech design.  Although the ASN-2000 was never purchased in the same numbers as the
    Spector, several Generals within the SLDF saw the value of having a diversified set of
    head-hunter designs, for obvious reasons, so that opposing commanders could not optimize
    their defenses to deal with only a single type of threat.

Capabilities:
    The ASN-2000 relies on a large LRM rack, coupled with an Artemis IV FCS, for the bulk of
    it's firepower.  The incorporation of TAG allowed it to direct Arrow IV fire on a target
    without ever breaking cover.
    
    
    
    Care was taken to make the ASN-2000 resemble the ASN-21 as much as possible.  The twin
    medium lasers are housed within the same cowl on the 'mech's arm, so that an observer will
    not be able to notice the difference, and the LRM-15 was designed using the same principle
    used by the Atlas' LRM-20 launcher, so that the launcher only uses five tubes.

Deployment:
    The ASN-2000 saw extremely limited use by the SLDF, and all known examples were destroyed in
    the wars with Stefan Amaris, taken by the SLDF during the exodus, or destroyed during the
    1st or 2nd Succession Wars.  The only remaining plans were discovered in the Grey Death
    Memory Core, but no manufacturer has moved to resume construction of this battlemech.
