================================================================================================
Overview:
    Having seen the effectiveness of the Vindicator, Capellan command wanted a heavier version
    that would compliment it as well as act as a stand alone combat unit. The CRV-2 Carver is
    what was finally put into production after some problems with materials and facilities that
    delayed it's release 36 years. The Carver is named after a carnivorous simian on Sian. The
    Wasp factory of Hellespont Industrries has shunted it's production line of the WSP-1A over
    to produce the CRV-2. Production continues on the WSP-1L Wasp.

Capabilities:
    The original CRV-1 Carver had aPPC mounted in it's right arm as it's primary weapon.
    However, shortages of the weapon required the available PPC's goes to Capella for Vindicator
    production. Instead, the design team substituted a SarLon MaxiCannon for it instead. While
    heat build-up is still a slight problem with this weapon, it is significantly cooler than
    the PPC. Two heatsinks, however, were mounted between the elbow and shoulder actuators to
    help the exhaust gases from breaking down the lubricants. To back up the AC/10, three
    Diverse Optics Type 2 medium lasers were mounted in the left torso in a vertical arrangement
    similar to the Thunderbolt's trio. The FarFire LRM-10 was installed in the right torso to
    provide covering fire for friendly units as well as for itself when closing with an enemy
    unit. The LRM-10 launcher is mounted midway down the torso between the autocannon's ammo bin
    and it's own ammo bin. It is hoped that the placement will help avoid a disastrous ammo
    explosion should weapons fire penetrate one of them. The top speed of 64 kph is comparable
    to other mechs it's weight as well as the Vindicator. Nine and a half tons of armor provide
    protection for the Carver.

Deployment:
    As far as is known, only six of these have been produced for testing. They werte paired with
    six Vindicators and staioned near the Periphery. At least three raids  have occured; on the
    planets of Brisbane, Laconis, and MacLeod's Land. The continuing parania of the Taurian
    leadership of an invasion has been successful in covering any traces of the prototypes.
