Overview:
    The Apollyon is an example of what happens when you become too predictable.  The 6th Reich
    had been expanding into a "shield wall" empire for awhile.  Given they had been established
    a few hundred years longer, their greater mass was grinding away at the more martial but
    smaller polity.  The smaller nation had a doctrinal focus on LRMs supported by heavy
    brawlers.  As such they had some of the nastiest variants of longbows and guillotines in the
    human sphere.  Until the Reich decided it was time to end the illusion of parity.

Capabilities:
    The Apollyon does not engage in Judo.  It takes its targets strong points and doubles down
    on them, creating such a concentration of firepower that lesser machines can't hope to stand
    against it.
    
    To that end it uses top of the line technology, mostly because once you start to invest in
    such an expensive weapon system the small costs stop being such a concern.  4 LRM-20s are
    integrated with advanced data-links for greatly improved accuracy.   Enough ammo is
    incorporated that the Apollyon is expected to be able to neutralize 2 to 3 heavy targets.
    Four Large Pulse lasers also add considerable weight of fire.  More importantly it is
    accurate firepower, a necessity when dealing with evasive targets.  The use of massed laser
    batteries is a recurring trend that is seen repeatedly, over and over again.
    
    The coup de grace on the Apollyon is the advanced armor.  Merely good against lasers,
    artillery, and physical attacks; the balistic reinforced armor is demoralizing against
    missile heavy forces.  Which spelled the death knell for that "Shield Wall" state.
