================================================================================================
Overview:
    Originally designed for the Star League Defense Force as Hollis Incorporated's first foray
    into the BattleMech field, the Catapult would prove a highly successful design over the next
    several centuries, even after the original manufacturing plant on Corey was destroyed during
    the First Succession War. At the turn of the millennium, however, Hollis was able to return
    the design to production on a limited basis after approximately three decades of only being
    able to manufacture limited spare parts, reversing the design's extinction fully, though by
    that point several variants of the basic design were in at least limited bespoke production
    across the entire Inner Sphere, and the original design would be superseded by advanced
    variants produced with recovered "LosTech" only a few decades later.
    
    The -7L is an advanced model built by the Capellen Confederation in the late 3060s to make
    use of then-recent technological advances. Most prominently, the -7L is fitted with Stealth
    Armor to allow it greater survivability, though armor protection was slightly reduced; in
    order to fit the required electronics equipment in the center torso, two of the medium
    lasers were removed.
    The original missile launchers are also deleted in favor of paired plasma rifles-then brand
    new technology-in specially designed extra-strength cooling sleeves to defray their heat
    generation, allowing them to be more effectively used while the machine is operating under
    stealth. Fourteen double heat sinks provide reasonable cooling even with the additional
    burden of the unit's stealth armor.

Capabilities:
    Note: Possesses the No/Minimal Arms Design Quirk & the Improved Cooling Jacket Design Quirk
    for both Plasma Rifles.
