================================================================================================
Overview:
    This was the CPLT-K2 Katapult Victoria Espinosa used during the Espinosa Coup of 3022 and in
    battling the Wild Hunt during the Newgrange Incident. Captured relatively intact during
    Victoria's duel with Carlios Dan Cannar, it was claimed by the Hunt as salvage and used
    since the Restoration War.
    
    Nicknamed "Victory's Cost", the machine has been given the "Artru Treatment," its equipment
    and weapons upgraded using the SLDF cache from Castle Nautilus.

Capabilities:
    Different from the standard Kuritan-made Katapults, the Hunt brought back jump jets to the
    machine, taking surplus Anderson 21s from some dead Catapults.
    
    The core of the machine are its two ER PPCs, allowing the mech to shoot farther. Instead of
    the two MGs as backup weapons, the Hunt removes those and slots two Medium Lasers in the
    Center Torso.
    
    To handle the added heat and to compensate for its pilot being too jump-happy, the Huntsman
    Katapult carries 18 Double Heat Sinks.
    
    Given its role as a Marksman/Sniper, the 11 tons of Durallex Heavy are retained.

Notable MechWarriors:
    During the Restoration War, this mech was piloted by Ellis "Blockade" Simonsen. After the
    Royal Guard of Auriga was reorganized into the Cormorant Guard in 3026, Blockade left the
    Hunt to rejoin his old unit.
