Editing Capellan Confederation (section)

==== Notable BattleMechs ====

* '''''[[UrbanMech]]''''' - embodying the Capellan's resource deprived but scrappy nature. The Urbanmech found life in the Capellan Confederations' military not out of favoritism but necessity due to a lack of resources. In addition, the Confederation's typical use of unconventional warfare meshed well with the UrbanMech's specialization in urban guerilla warfare. The most well-known Capellan variant is the UM-R60L, which replaces the AC/10 with a horrifically deadly AC/20 (capable of [[Rape|instakilling Lights and Mediums]], and [[Anal circumference|one of the few guns that can make an Assault 'Mech shiver in fear]]), at the cost of very, ''very'' low ammo capacity.
* '''''[[Cataphract]]''''' - Starting off as a FrankenMech (and a really fucking ugly one) before being standardized, it's an example of the "[[Looted|making do]]" aspect of the Capellan military. It exists essentially as a serial production mech cobbled together from the parts of [[Shadow Hawk]], [[Phoenix Hawk]], and Marauder chassis that were still available from the remaining factories. Left arm from one, right arm from another, that sort of thing. While it is pretty ramshackle as a matter of design, it's got plenty of armor, and it's pair of Autocannons, an AC/5 and an LB-X AC/10, are quite dangerous, though a critical flaw is it runs out of ammo fast.
* '''''Firebee''''' - The first-ever Capellan Battlemech design, clearly inspired by the question "What if the ''Stinger'' mech was made by a cartoon supervillain?" It's a nasty little anti-vehicle Light 'Mech with a Large Laser, and four Maui SRM-2 launchers, with standard and special inferno missile compatibility. Sun-Zu Liao had a liking for this thing, and so he had an upgraded version put into production with the Guardian ECM Suite and Stealth Armor. Eventually got a hard upgrade in the ''Yinghuochong'', which is built on the same chassis.
* '''''[[Highlander]]''''' - While better known for their use by the [[Star League]], the Highlander is Capellan by birthright.
* '''''Huron Warrior''''' - A medium 'Mech that greatly benefited from the Helm Memory Core. Originally meant for fire support, it was reworked as a sniper. Its Gauss Rifle can blast chunks off of other 'Mechs at extreme distances. It also has a crown in its head that resembles a Cree Okimâwastotin (Or for those who don't speak Cree, a war bonnet).
* '''''Raven''''' - A light 'Mech which emphasizes the guerilla aspect of the Capellan military. It has the honor of being considered one of the first original designs in centuries, and was the first Electronic Warfare specialist 'Mech developed since the Succession Wars cooled down. It doesn't do a whole lot of damage, but in fairness it isn't really intended to, being more of a support and defensive role.
* '''''Ti Ts'ang''''' - The "signature" 'Mech of the Confederation, in that it's usually the one used in a lot of Confederation art. Developed at Sun-Tzu Liao's personal request; It's a heavy 'Mech heavily inspired by Han Dynasty Chinese Armor, and it reflects a lot of Sun-Tzu's personal tastes in warfare; it's a medium/close-range specialist designed to be as high-tech and dangerous as the Capellans could make it, and plopping '''five''' ER-Medium Lasers, four ER-Small Lasers, and a fucking battleaxe into it sure as shit does the trick on that. And just to make sure it's a priority target, it has a TAG system integrated into it; which means it can call airstrikes down on unsuspecting heads.
* '''''Vindicator''''' - One of the Confederation's most iconic 'Mechs. Built in the early Succession Wars the 'Mech is designed to strike at targets at any range. Its main armament is a PPC, backed with and LRM-5 to snipe at long range. Along with Medium and Small Laser to fight at short range. 
* '''''Xanthos''''' - The first ever Quadrupedal BattleMech. It might be slow and clumsy, but it packs a massive punch both at short and long ranges. When the Star League rejected them, the Liaos embraced them. They went extinct in the Second Succession War, but were revived thanks to the Helm Memory Core and continue to be used, even in the Dark Age.
* '''''Yu Huang''''' - The Command-Assault 'Mech of House Liao's maddened dreams come to life. It's intended to be the emperor of the battlefield, and Sun-Tzu Liao's specifications ensure it gets damn close to that; packing it with 17 tons of armor, an ER PPC and LRM-10 missile system for long range, and [[BLAM|Two Medium Lasers, one Medium Pulse laser, and an Autocannon/20 for anything stupid enough to try fighting it at short-range.]]
