Description
Ah, the Catapult C1. Just like its namesake, it's good at lobbing large numbers of missiles over terrain without fear of return fire. Surprisingly, it's also not too shabby at closer ranges in a pinch.

Description
This Civil War era variant is built using an Endo Steel chassis and powered by a 260 extralight engine, using the saved weight to make the C2 a dedicated long range 'Mech. The primary weapons are two LRM-15 launchers mated to an Artemis IV fire control system, and fed by four tons of ammo. The Medium Lasers have been replaced with two LB-X Autocannon/2s, sharing a single ton of ammo. While this makes the Catapult vulnerable to close range attacks, it also makes it extremely deadly at long range.

Description
The C3 variant takes the 'Mech's long range fire support to a new level by removing both of the LRM-15 launchers and replacing them with an Arrow IV artillery system, allowing the Catapult to stay a safe distance from the battlefield. However the design of this model was rushed through by the Capellans, causing a number of faults to reemerge. Chief among these however is the fact that it has a single ton of ammo, giving it a pitiful five reloads and forcing it to stay close to supply lines. The 'Mech is otherwise identical to the C1 model.

Description
An upgrade of the earlier defective C3 model, this variant first appeared during the St. Ives Conflict. It retains the Arrow IV artillery system, but its chassis has been upgraded to Endo Steel and its heat sinks to improved versions. This allows the C5 to increase its armor coverage to twelve and a half tons, upgrade its lasers to ER Medium Lasers, and quadruple the amount of ammo carried with protection provided by CASE.

Description
An upgrade of the K2 Catapult, the K2K model changes the engine to an extralight model and increases the size to a 325 rating to speed the mech up quite a bit. The twin PPCs also have been upgraded to ER PPCs. The 'Mech carries two ER Medium Lasers for close range firepower. To handle the added heat from the upgrades, the 'Mech uses 20 double heat sinks. Finally, the K2K model carries thirteen and a half tons of armor.

Description
A variant of the -K2, the -K3 was a lostech upgrade of that fire support mech. Though this design never reached full production, it was prototyped during the War of 3039. It upgraded the PPCs of the K2 to ER PPCs. Twenty double heat sinks kept heat to a minimum.

Description
An experimental Lyran design created after taking a number of Kuritan Catapults in salvage, the -K6X has a distinctly Federated Commonwealth flair with its pair of Rotary Autocannon/2s. To back up the Rotaries are a brace of lasers, two Medium Pulses and four Small Pulses. The -K6X powers itself with a 260-rated XL engine and carries 13.5 tons of armor for protection, which is plenty for most battlefield encounters.
