================================================================================================
Overview:
    A mixed-tech scout developed during the closing decade of the Dark Age era, the SLC-05
    Afterimage eschews any built-in weaponry in favor of maximizing its top speed and utilizing
    powerful electronics. As it would be defenseless otherwise, the 'Mech is compatible with a
    variety of handheld weapons. Some of these may slow the 'Mech down due to being unwieldy,
    but that is considered acceptable for the mission profiles they would be used for.
