Overview:
    The crowning achievement of Tamarind-Abby's early IlClan era military industrial expansion
    would unarguably be the Theseus TES-1A. The development and launch of the battlech was lead
    by Westover Battlemechs. Westover, a company built from the ashes of Free Worlds Defense
    Industries after the Jihad was watching the build-up of forces across the Free Worlds League
    in the wake of the states reunification. Seeing an opportunity to assert itself in the Duchy
    of Tamarind-Abby executives from the company would aggressively lobby Fontaine Marik for the
    privilege of constructing a premier battlemech for the Duchy. However, Westover's indirect,
    but questionable, historical ties to Word of Blake elements and their headquarters outside
    of Tamarind-Abbey complicated negotiations. Fontaine would shrewdly use this to secure
    favorable contract terms with Westover; binding them into a complex partnership with
    Venkateswara Battlemech Refit Facility. While most of the construction for the mech would
    take place on Westover, final assembly and inspection would now occur on Tamarind. The
    Theseus embraces the operational flexibility and mobility desired by military planners in
    the Duchy. With growing concern on the volatile situation at the the border with the Wolf
    Empire and resulting political unrest in the Clan Protectorate, Westover avoided sourcing
    clan tech to ensure a robust and stable supply chain. Upon release, the Theseus TES-1A would
    find a place in a variety of battlefield roles owing to its versatile load-out and over-all
    mobility, it would supplant many ageing Orion Battlemech's in the following years.

Capabilities:
    The Theseus TES-1A would feature an endo-composite structure encasing an XL engine to clear
    tonnage. The 300 XL engine would allow the mech to normally move up to 64 km/h however this
    would be enhanced with the addition of a super charger pushing the maximum speed to 85 km/h
    when engaged. The installment of 4 jumps jets would further push the mobility of the design.
    The TES-1A's weapons complement would include a plasma rifle in the left arm supplied with 2
    tons of ammo stored alongside it. A heavy PPC in the right torso, and a pair of SRM 4's
    mounted into the left torso supported with two tons of CASE II protected ammo. Finally, a
    TAG would be mounted into the center-torso. For protection the mech would be wrapped in 13
    tons of standard plate (208 pips). Advanced protective measures would be found in the
    addition of a head mounted anti-missile system supported by one ton of ammo and an angel ecm
    suite located in the right torso. 16 double heat-sinks would be employed for cooling.
