Editing Magistracy of Canopus (section)

==== Notable BattleMechs ====
Canopans name their 'Mechs after prominent female figures from classical [[mythology]]. It's a decent enough theme to roll with.

* '''''Agrotera''''': After the Jihad, Magistracy engineers took the lessons learned from the [[Word of Blake]]'s ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' upgrades and just turned it into a hard-upgrade on the ''Phoenix Hawk'' with most of the original 'Mechs flaws otherwise dealt with; with an extra-long range PPC, a Variable-Speed Medium Pulse laser, a regular Pulse laser, and some small pulse lasers, in case you thought you were getting up close.

* '''''Calliope''''': Designed as a hard upgrade to the ''Snake'' 'Mech that had become decrepit from use as a garrison 'Mech in their space, it is a dedicated anti-infantry and anti-armor platform, though it's pretty slow and unusually ammo-dependent.

* '''''Eyleuka''''': A dedicated stealth-missile 'Mech that has a high top-speed and the capability to launch long and short-range missiles, with the only real downside being that both of the launchers are sat right next to the cockpit, meaning a direct hit will make it exceptionally visible the minute the mushroom cloud breaches low atmosphere.

* '''''Penthesilea''''': The very largest 'Mech the Magistracy will field. While it can't move all that fast on it's own, it can cover almost 90 meters thanks to it's jump jets. It's principal job is to punch a hole into targets with it's AC/10, and then fill said hole with it's many, many lasers and PPCs fire until the target explodes. While it can pack a massive gut-punch, it's only barely got enough heatsinks for all it's weapons, making sustained fire a gamble, if not a one-way trip to an overheated 'Mech.
