The CPLT-C1 Catapult was produced by Hollis Incorporated in a limited production run between 2561 and 2563 under a special military contract with the Star League. It was officially classified as a close-support vehicle, designed as a second-line defense with strong offensive capabilities.
Early models of the Catapult were equipped with no close support weapons, but the most current versions carry four medium lasers for close support.
