================================================================================================
Overview:
    After the limited success of their Arrow and Dirk Battlemechs, Armstrong Tractor and Armory
    Co. pushed forth with a larger design, their heaviest yet. This project resulted in the
    Trench, a dedicated defensive linefighter for those militias and mercenaries that had a need
    for low-cost mechs to fight small skirmishes and pirate raids. Initially debuting in 2657,
    the Trench was a straightforward mech that maintained parts commonality with its
    predecessors. While successfully produced at low cost, the Trench never made it big in
    anything beyond the local systems, and while produced continually through the succession
    wars was never produced in enough numbers to have an impact anywhere of note.

Capabilities:
    The TRN-7A is a late Dark Age update to the venerable design. A Pitban 220 Fusion engine
    provides a top speed of 64.8 km/h, with four Pitban LFT 50 jump jets for maneuvering. 9.5
    tons of Durallex Extra Light heavy ferro-fibrous armor plate is adequate protection, and
    Dalban FastTrack and HiRez communications and  targeting systems round out the systems.
    
    The weapons load begins with a locally-built ATA Slamfire LB 10-X AC with two tons of
    ammunition providing the main punch, and three Defiance-brand ER medium lasers to provide
    backup fire. An ATA Spike MML-5 provided both long- and short-range missile support
