================================================================================================
Overview:
    The BLS-02 is the first true variation of the Ballista 'Mech. It takes on the role of a
    Missile Boat, mounting 4 LRM 20's, and 2 LRM 5's. It carries 4 tons of LRM 20 ammo, and 3
    tons of LRM 5 ammo. It keeps the jump jets of the original, but mounts 12 double heat Sinks
    instead of 10. It also has more armor, allowing it to stay in combat longer, with a total of
    17.5 tons of Ferro Fibrous armor

Capabilities:
    The BLS-02 specializes in long range fire support, using its 4 LRM 20's to deadly effect.
    Unlike the previous version, it is not made to function at the forefront of combat, instead
    made to stay behind and provide supporting fire with its missile salvos.

Deployment:
    The BLS-02 was used during the Jihad, mainly by the Word of Blake. It was first deployed
    roughly 3 years into the Jihad, which is when it proved its effectiveness.

Variants:
    The BLS-02 is itself a variant of the BLS-01.
