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, as was the Active Probe and the IS-spec Angel ECM. The entire weapons load was replaced with 6 SRM-4s with two total tons of ammo. The CEP-1 would prove adept, if expensive to produce, and would be retained in the Wolf touman, though as a second-line design.

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 rare and hot Clan XXL Engine, the Cephalus Prototype carries 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 relegated to second-line forces due to limited ability to contribute to battles and the extreme cost of materials.

Description
After extensive testing by second-line forces, the Wolf Khan ordered the Cephalus into full production (after swapping the Composite structure for standard Endo-Steel and the Angel ECM for a standard Clan-grade ECM Suite of course). The Cephalus retains its expensive and fragile XXL engine however, as well as a dedicated ECM and Active Probe suite. The Prime configuration is simultaneously a knife-fighter and a sniper. An ER PPC performs stand-off combat duty while eight ER Micro Lasers shred anything that dares to approach the Cephalus.

The Cephalus retains its expensive and fragile XXL engine however, as well as a dedicated ECM and Active Probe suite. The A configuration is a mid-range configuration, armed with an Ultra Autocannon/5 and a pair of ER Medium Lasers. The Ultra only has one ton of ammunition though, so pilots are advised to use discretion with the trigger.

The B configuration is a ranged support design, mounting a total of 30 LRM tubes with two tons of ammo between them. A battery of ER Micro and ER Small Lasers defend the 'Mech at short range.

A simple and clean loadout of 4 Medium Pulse Lasers provide punch while three extra DHS barely manage to keep the machine cooled.

Description
The Cephalus is one of the strangest 'Mechs the Clans have ever produced, with Clan Wolf throwing endless resources at the development of what is essentially a boondoggle design. However, even boondoggles can find a home somewhere and for Over A Barrel, that home was the arenas of Solaris VII. The original mechanic for Over A Barrel removed its hard-wired TAG and all the weapons, replacing them with three Heavy Medium Lasers, all wired into individual fire control systems. He then supplemented these with an advanced Targeting Computer for extra accuracy. 13 Clan DHS struggle to keep it all cooled, though with how short fights end up being with Over A Barrel it hardly matters.
