================================================================================================
Overview:
    With the ongoing collapse of supply lines in the Jihad, many Lyran commanders and pilots
    requested an energy-based variant of the Axman, and which would have a similar damage
    output. Defiance Industries, after conducting a brief but broad interview of Lyran astechs
    and mechanics, produced this model to meet those demands, and it was generally accepted.

Capabilities:
    The primary requirement facing Defiance Industries was to meet the damage output of the LB
    20-X autocannon. Reviewing their inventory, the engineers found that a heavy particle cannon
    fitted with advanced capacitor would provide an equivalent amount of damage to one point.
    The addition of two more ER medium lasers helps make up for the lost scattershot ability of
    the cluster rounds, and the ECM suite is upgraded as well.
    After much internal debate, the engineers agreed that the production model would downgrade
    to light ferro-fibrous and use the space to mount triple-strength myomer. An additional 2
    tons of armor are added to compensate, actually leaving the mech better protected than
    before. Three more heat sinks allow the mech to cool off when needed.
