Notes
- One character (Sula) is described to pilot a Cougar in -B configuration with two ER PPCs. In the final battle at the DropPort, his 'Mech is consistently called a Coyote though there is no 'Mech with that name. Since his 'Mech is still prominently wielding two ER PPCs, Coyote is apparently an oversight and meant to read Cougar.
