Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment
Contents
Description
CASE, short for Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment, is a system employed on BattleMechs, ground and sea vehicles, and aerospace fighters to protect the unit from internal damage. CASE acts as a container structure that houses volatile or explosive equipment, primarily ammunition. In the case that the equipment takes a critical hit, the CASE structure redirects the explosive force away from the vehicle, preventing excessive damage. While this makes it an invaluable asset in preventing vehicle destruction, CASE cannot actually stop any explosions and as such the vehicle will still likely be rendered crippled or inoperable. Inner Sphere CASE weighs half a ton per piece, while Clan CASE does not require any additional tonnage. Both the IS and Clan CASE cost 50,000 C-Bills. In a BattleMech, CASE will redirect any equipment explosions in the section it is placed in, preventing damage from transferring over to adjacent sections. Ground/sea vehicles and aerospace fighters can mount a single CASE, which protects the entire vehicle.
