================================================================================================
Overview:
    The mighty Thunderball was conceived by Khan Graltone as a solution to overcome the short
    range deficiencies of the Thunderbolt. Originally a repurposed lighter TBL-5M chassis, the
    70 ton T-ball is a customized fire support mech developed from a surplus Archer chassis. The
    XD has been upgraded with Clan tech to maintaining its profile with enhance accuracy of its
    weapon systems. A 260 rating XL engine is at the heart of the T-ball which gives it a
    respectable top speed of 64 kph and is able to jump 120 meters thanks to its four jump jets.

Capabilities:
    The T-ball is equipped with a four ton targeting computer to greatly enhance the accuracy of
    its direct fire weapons. An ER PPC and ER Large Laser are the T-ball's primary weapons
    capable of delivering significant damage at long range. The LRM of the TBL-XD were removed
    and replaced with two Streak SRM-6s. Rounding out the T-ball's arsenal are four ER Medium
    Lasers. The T-ball also utilizes an ECM Suite.
