Description

Designed by Clan Wolf scientists to serve as a prototype electronics carrier, the Cephalus was only lightly deployed and eventually shelved entirely. Built around a fragile but light Composite structure and a rate and hot Clan XXL Engine, the Cephalus Prototype carrues an Angel ECM system, an Active Probe, a TAG for spotting for allies, and a pair of AMS systems for allied protection. Its only nod to direct battlefield contribution is a single center-line ER Large Laser. The design was shelved due to limited ability to contribute to battles and due to the extreme cost of materials.

Description

Created at the insistence of the Khan of the Wolves himself, the Cephalus CEP-1 was a resurrection of the experimental Cephalus Prototype that ultimately failed. This variant, the CEP-1, was intended to bring the mech to a more focused battlefield role: light skirmisher. The fragile and expensive XXL was retained, the as was the Active Probe. The IS-spec Angel ECM was downgraded to Clan-spec ECM and the entire weapons load was replaced with 6 SRM-4s and a pair of SRM=2s, with two total tons of ammo. The CEP-1 would prove adept, if expensive to produce, and would be retained in the Wolf touman.
