================================================================================================
Overview:
    The CHP-X Champ was designed by Bergan Industries as the prototype to the CHP-1N Champion.
    The Mass was 10 tons lighter allowing it to carry an identical weapons loadout and the same
    amount of armor as the production model Champion. The main reason for the increase in weight
    after the prototype was partially driven by ease of production and also by cost due to the
    less expensive standard structure which was also easier to produce and maintain then the
    expensive endo steel structure of the prototype. The Prototype was also equipped with Double
    heat sinks which were replaced with standard heat sinks for the production design.
    
    
    
    

Capabilities:
    The Champ has almost identical capabilities as its production model counterpart but at a
    greater cost in maintenance. The prototype proved itself reliable and powerful in its trial
    runs but was deemed too labor intensive to manufacture on a mass scale though several of the
    prototypes did enter service prior to the official production run.

Deployment:
    The Champ is currently deployed throughout scattered units in the Star League Defense Force.
    Several prototypes were assigned to combat units for testing purposes and Bergan industries
    still has some of the prototypes in its warehouses. A total of 50 were built, 35 were issued
    to the Star League Defense force for testing and the others are held on site at Bergan
    industries. [Editors note - It is thought that all of the prototypes left with Kerensky on
    his exodus. Due to Comstar's control of Terra after the fall of the Star League this cannot
    be confirmed]
