================================================================================================
Overview:
    One of the first homegrown Capellan Confederation 'Mech designs, the Linebarrel was the
    entry point of Calpaca's Kepler Defense Group into the market of BattleMechs in 2485. Meant
    to be a heavy brawler that could take a good amount of punishment while having plenty to
    give back,  it was built to be placed squarely in the emerging assault weight class while
    having surprising mobility for something of its tonnage.

Capabilities:
    The 90-ton Linebarrel is built on K.D.G.'s first ever 'Mech chassis, the Kepler 90A, which
    supports a Ceres Motors 360 fusion engine and 10 tons of Kepler Ablative Ceramosteel
    plating. While relatively light protection for an assault-class, it was justified as being
    in line with most 'Mechs in the emerging brawler archetype. It also has two Pitban 3000 Jump
    Jets on its back for clearing obstacles, as well as slowing falls if it has to make a
    perilous leap. As for its electronics, a CeresCom Model 4-B handes communications, while an
    in-house Kepler AimScope 1.8 handles targeting and tracking.
    
    Like the 1L the Linebarrel 1C's primary weapon remains the Kepler 120mm Autocannon/10, but
    all other weapons are stripped to mount two Kepler .1mm Gatling Machine Guns alongside the
    AC/10 in the left arm, a Ceres Arms Large Laser on the right arm, and a Sian-Ceres Cougar
    SRM-6 in the center torso. The Machine Guns share one ton of ammo, while the SRM-6 has
    single ton to itself. The result is that the 1C does not have much long-range potential, but
    has a strong punch close-in.
    
    The Linebarrel is designed to not need maintenance nearly as often as other 'Mechs, but as
    part of this the Autocannon's mechansims were simplified to the point that it could not
    hotswap ammunition even if the Linebarrel itself was modified to carry more than one ton and
    also suffered from having less protection due to bulkier components.
