================================================================================================
Overview:
    The AS7-E modification to the standard AS7-D was designed by techs of the Seventh Crucis
    Lancers, in 2797, during the height of the First Succession War. At the time, the Lancers
    were on Kentares IV, having remained there when DCMS troops took the system. The
    modifications were made to every Atlas in the unit early in the battle, in order to keep the
    inevitable lack of munitions from affecting the unit's most powerful 'Mechs. After the death
    of Coordinator Minoru Kurita, Prince John Davion ordered the Seventh to evacuate Kentares.
    The Lancers complied, and were out of the system before Minoru's son Jinjiro arrived with
    reinforcements.

Capabilities:
    The AS7-E removes the Atlas' standard autocannon for a pair of PPCs, which inflict similar
    damage at a longer range. The LRM launcher was downgraded so it would use less ammo, and the
    SRMs were completely removed in favor of medium lasers. The Atlas' arm mounted medium lasers
    were moved into the torsos to free the arms for physical combat. Extra heat sinks were added
    to the chassis, giving the Atlas the ability to fire its main weapons (the PPCs) and move
    with minimal heat build up.

Deployment:
    The AS7-E Atlas has served the Federated Suns in situations where ammo is scarce for more
    than three centuries. The most notable engagements involving AS7-Es took place during the
    First Succession War, in the AFFS counter-attack which came after the Kentares Massacre.
    There are at least five recorded incidents of AS7-Es simply exploding due to heat induced
    reactor failure. In all of these cases, the final cause was determined to be enraged pilots
    who pushed their 'Mechs beyond their capabilities.
