================================================================================================
Overview:
    Originally made by the New Earth Trading Company, the CKD-1A Crackdown is a very common
    SecurityMech that can be found deployed across the Inner Sphere and Periphery and is
    manufactured by a smorgasbord of corporations.

Capabilities:
    The 25-ton Crackdown is built on a New Earth 25Sec Industrial chassis, as is standard for
    SecurityMechs. It is powered by a Magna 100 ICE and protected by 3 tons of Durallex Light
    Industrial armor. This slots it into an ambusher role, though in practice it is more
    commonly seen dealing with ramshackle pirates that don't have the effective means to combat
    it. Other systems include a Basix 150 comms system, an Angst Accuracy targeting/tracking
    system, 2 heat sinks to handle its energy weaponry, and an ejection seat for the pilot in
    case of catastrophic damage.
    
    The CKD-1A's armament is simple: A pair of Diverse Optics Type 15 Medium Lasers handle
    armored targets, while two Gatling Gun 20mm Machine Guns are used to deal with threats on
    foot or in the lightest armor. The machine guns are provided with one ton of ammunition,
    while the Medium Lasers use a half-ton power amplifier to fire. This loadout allows it
    versatility when dealing with common incidents, though it is still inadequate for actual
    military action.
    
    The Crackdown is also designed to be as cheap & easy to maintain as possible, as well as
    easy to use; however, this necessitated sacrifices elsewhere such as exposing the actuators,
    a targeting calibration that is poor at long ranges, and a cooling system implementation
    that can become ineffective if damaged.
    
    DESIGN QUIRKS: Ubiquitous, Easy to Pilot, Easy to Maintain, Robust (1), Exposed Actuators,
    Poor Targeting (Long), Cooling System Flaws
