The Captor was designed to be an all-weather, 
all-range, all-purpose 'Mech.  Mounting weapons that offer 
good damage potential at any range and enough armor to 
slug it out with almost anyone else on the battlefield, this 
'Mech can serve in any lance, from fire-support to front-line 
combat.  The only role this 'Mech doesn't fit into is that of 
a scout, although it does have relatively good speed for a 
Heavy 'Mech.  This wide range of capabilites make it very 
popular with commanders who can switch its role at a 
moment's notice.  It is also popular on missions that will 
only allow for one or two 'Mechs, where its weapons load 
doesn't provide an enemy with a safe place to attack from.

For long-range combat, the Captor carries a 10-tube 
LRM rack in its right torso with 1 ton of ammunition.  This 
makes it very popular in support lances, where its LRMs 
can contribute to the front-line combat while its other 
weapons help to provide lance defense.

The Captor also mounts an ER-PPC in its right arm, which 
comes into play inside the range of the LRMs.  An enemy 
who enters the range where these two weapons overlap 
may soon find himself without a mount.

Backing up the PPC at medium range is 3 ER Medium 
Lasers, which serve as short range weapons as well.  If 
anyone survives to get any closer to the Captor they will 
soon find its single Medium Pulse Laser added into the 
mix.

For defense the Captor carries two Anti-Missile Systems in 
its left torso, which enhances the defensive capabilities 
of this design's 12 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor.

This 'Mech is ideal for use as a companion to the 
CNR-2SW Cannoneer.  Combining this model's all-range 
capabilities with the Cannoneer's short-range firepower 
can make a deadly pair indeed.  Due to the fact that the 
Cannoneer is considered one of the ugliest 'Mechs ever 
designed, this pairing has earned the nickname "Beauty 
and the Beast."
