Overview:
Recently promoted to her current rank, Commander Simone Green of the First Canopian Light Horse's Second Battalion has demonstrated on numerous occasions both her loyalty to the Canopian realm and her belief in the aid her realm has rendered to the Capellan Confederation. Along with her promotion, Commander Greene was given permission to upgrade her 'Mech, a Merlin, with the Canopian throne absorbing half of the cost.
Commander Greene took full advantage of this opportunity and set herself to the task. With the help of some willing Capellan technicians and engineers she came up with a variation that pleased her greatly. She upgraded the medium lasers to the modern extended range versions. Despite the range increase on these weapons, it increased the heat burden on her outmoded single heat sinks.
She would have liked nothing more than to swap out her old heat sinks for the more efficient double heat sink, but that would have meant replacing the engine as well, an expense that she was not willing to incur. After due diligence she solved the heat problem by removing the 'hottest' weapon on the 'Mech, the PPC. Along with the PPC she removed the LRM-5 and replaced both with an LRM-15 and two tons of ammunition. This switch not only increases the effective range and lethality of the two weapons she replaced, it also allows her to carry two separate types of ammunition for the launcher. One of the ammo bins is always filled with the new Capellan Thunder-Augmented rounds, the other varies between standard rounds or the new semi-guided rounds.
Though Commander Greene has not yet been able to use this new configuration in real combat it has performed in several exercises with the rest of the 1st Canopian Light Horse and their Capellan allies, specifically the Seventh Confederation Reserve Cavalry.
