Description
The Caesar is a 'Mech that is built to do as much damage to an enemy at as far of a range as possible. This is done with a primarily long-range weapons assortment that the 'Mech carries. The 'Mech also uses an XL Engine and double heat sinks in order to carry as many weapons and as much armor as possible, both of which are weight reducing items on a 'Mech. The 'Mech also utilizes CASE to protect against an ammunition explosions should an enemy be able to breach the ten and a half tons of armor that protect the 'Mech.
Armament
The primary ranged weapon on board the Caesar is a Poland Main Model A Gauss Rifle that can shear off just under a ton of armor with each shot. This is backed up at long ranges by a Johnston High Speed ER PPC, which can do two-thirds of the damage of the Gauss Rifle but is not dependent on limited ammunition. For close range engagements, the Caesar carries four Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Lasers, two of which are rear-mounted, allowing it to put up a crippling defense against any enemies that get close to the 'Mech.
Variants
- CES-3S - This variant is produced by Johnston Industries for the Lyran Alliance. It is built on an Endo Steel chassis and with Light Ferro-Fibrous armor. The rear-facing lasers are removed, making enough tonnage available to swap out the engine for a Light Engine of the same rating. The remaining mass goes toward upgrade the PPC to a Heavy PPC and the inclusion of an ER Small Laser and Guardian ECM Suite. BV (2.0) = ???
- CES-4R - The other newer variant is marketed at the Federated Suns. Designed with short-range combat in mind, it also drops the rear-facing lasers and three heat sinks in favor of additional armor and three ER Medium Lasers. MASC enables the Caesar to close more quickly and bring its Snub-Nose PPC to bear. BV (2.0) = ???
- CES-4S - The 4S variant that first saw use during the FedCom Civil War is intended for close range combat. The vulnerable XL Engine has been replaced with a sturdier Light Fusion Engine and has been redesigned to use an Endo Steel internal structure. The 'Mech is armed with a Heavy Gauss Rifle as its primary weapon. This is backed up by a Large Pulse Laser, two Medium Pulse Lasers, and a pair of ER Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,439
