Recognition notes
The Catapult CPLT-K3 is a 65-ton heavy that fights at long range, a 3047 rebuild of the 2561 CPLT-C1. Where the CPLT-C1 carries an LRM 15 in each arm, the CPLT-K3 mounts an ER PPC in each arm, and the four medium lasers of the original give way to a single medium laser and a machine gun in each torso. Its 20 double heat sinks replace the base model's 15 single, and it forgoes the CPLT-C1's jump jets, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out at 65. Both machines share minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and a fragile head. Yori 'Mech Works builds it at Al Na'ir.
