================================================================================================
Overview:
    Introduced to keep up with the increasing demands of the modern battlefield, this iteration
    of the venerable Manticore is designed to engage effectively any target with equal
    efficiency.
    The original weapons load has been completely replaced, with a Plasma Rifle replacing the
    original particle cannon, and Multiple Missile Launchers replacing the long range missile
    rack. The short range missile launcher has been replaced with a heavy Thunderbolt-5 launcher
    and the Medium Laser deleted in favor of an Angel ECM system. Two tons of ammunition
    supplies both the plasma rifle and thunderbolt launcher, while the MMLs are supplied with
    six tons of ammunition, typically split evenly between long and short range missiles of
    various types to take advantage of the weapon system's flexibility, all of which is
    protected by CASE.
    Thirteen tons of Hardened armor protects the vehicle, with the turret and front aspect
    effectively as durable as the original but with the rear and side armor protection
    increased. An Extra Light fusion plant provides the necessary power, though speed is
    identical.
