================================================================================================
Overview:
    Description: The Cateran CTN-1RS would be a special custom variant used by pilot call sign
    "Red Shirt." It was originally designed and developed by a noble serving in the FWL military
    but the changes to the base CTN-1A design proved to be more invasive then envisioned causing
    the cost of the machine to explode beyond what the noble could comfortably afford. Left with
    a highly mobile product but also worrying amounts of debt the young aristocrat would be
    forced to sell off his shiny new toy to recoup some of the monetary loss incurred by its
    very construction. Thankfully for him "Redshirt," with the help of some friends/ interested
    parties would be able to "assist" in re-homing the machine right into his own mech-bay.

Capabilities:
    The Cateran-1RS would feature the same endo-composite structure and XL engine as the CTN-1A.
    The four jump-jets would be replaced with 6 improved jump jets boosting the leaping
    capability of the design to an impressive 180 meters. The heavy PPC of the original design
    would remain but the plasma rifle would be swapped out for a snub-nose PPC while the dual
    SRM 4's would be exchanged for a clan streak SRM 6 supported by one ton of ammo. Armor
    protection for the CTN-1RS would remain the same but 2 double heat-sinks and the TAG would
    be pulled to clear space and tonnage.
