================================================================================================
Overview:
    Made specifically for the Solaris VII arenas, the CHM-P1N Champion is designed to be a
    powerful melee fighter first and foremost - though some ranged weapons are included to
    ensure it's not a boring one-trick pony. It features advanced movement tech to ensure it can
    get into chopping range, or to get out of a bad situation.

Capabilities:
    The CHM-P1N is built on a Solaris Hollow/Assault Composite chassis, saving weight but making
    it brittle if the 14.5 tons of Durallex Special Light Ferro-Fibrous armor are breached. This
    had led to tongue-in-cheek comparisons to a hard dark chocolate bar with a nougat filling -
    it's tough and bitter on the outside, but soft once you get through that rigid exterior. As
    for power, it has a supercharger-equipped Magna 400 XL engine, which combined with MASC lets
    it reach speeds typically impossible for a 'Mech of its size. This is crticial for its
    melee-heavy fighting style, as closing the distance is required for the 'Mech to do its
    maximum amount of damage. Electronics-wise, the Champion uses a Cyclops 14 comms system and
    a Solaris SureShot 2 targeting and tracking computer; the lattter tends not to perform well
    at long ranges due to the close-in configuration settings used. Cooling the 'Mech is
    accomplished by 14 double heat sinks. Finally, due to the weight-shifting fighting style it
    employs, an overtuned Heavy-Duty Gyro is installed that makes it unlikely for it to fall
    over (or someone else to make it do so).
    
    As for its proper armament, the primary weapons of the Champion P1 are a Solaris Heavy
    Lumberjack Hatchet in the left arm and a PPC Capacitor-enhanced Fusigon Strongtooth Heavy
    PPC mounted in the right torso; an secondarys ranged weapon are also included in the form of
    a left torso-mounted SRM/2 with an Artemis IV FCS and one ton of missiles and two
    arm-mounted Medium Pulse Lasers. Additional defense is included with a Solaris Bulwark Large
    Shield in the right arm. The Hatchet and Large Shield in particular are able to be dropped
    by the 'Mech if need be, and if both need to be dropped it still has good melee capability
    in the form of two heavyweight fists.
    
    The overall 'Mech is an imposing opponent, but is clearly oversized and hard to maintain. As
    such, any military versions have to make drastic revisions to turn it from a gladitorial
    main event into something actually suitable for frontline use.
    
    DESIGN QUIRKS: Distracting, Battlefists, Stable, Jettison-Capable Weapon(Hatchet, Large
    Shield), Oversize, Difficult to Maintain, Non-Standard Parts, Poor Targeting (Long)

Variants:
    CHM-P1S: The military-use version of the Champion, which ditches most of the melee aspect to
    make it a proper frontline juggernaut.
