================================================================================================
Overview:
    The first collaborative project between Tyrlon United and the Republic of the sphere, the
    Rubicons' underslung Heavy bridge-layer was developed and manufactured with advanced
    metallurgy and engineering expertise of T.U.
    The Rubicon is a machine of simple purpose, to establish safe crossings for allied ground
    forces.
    
    In pursuit of this, with its reinforced legs and wide stance, it sacrifices some degree of
    the usual capacity to hunker down behind a burm or hill that most quadmechs boast.
    
    Refinement of the prominent, turreted, coolant jacket clad "Hyper-Laser" has been rocky but
    it's projected that all major flaws of the system will be solved before factory retooling
    begins for the Rubicon to enter full production.
    
    The Rubicon also features specialized anti-air targeting software to guide the turreted
    Magshot gauss rifle.
    
    As well, it boasts an umbrella of RISC anti-missile protection, with one ton of ammunition
    stored in a CASEII alongside the diminutive Magshot
    
    And, should the Hyper-laser not dissuade enemies from assailing Rubicons' flock, it mounts a
    smoke grenade launcher to provide concealment crossing under fire.
    Tyrlon United has poured heart and soul into this design.
    They're certain it will fulfill a vital role in combined arms far into the future.
