==Description==
 
==Description==
Produced since the [[Star League Era]], the '''''Copper''''' is a series of [[IndustrialMech]]s produced by [[Coventry Metal Works]] which are designed exclusively for security duty. The CPK-65 has been a part of CMW's ''Peacemaker''-series of [[SecurityMech]]s since [[3065]], and the ''Copper'' was designed using many of the components from the ''[[Commando]]'' [[BattleMech]]. By lacking many BattleMech features and sharing parts, the cost of a ''Copper'' is half that of a ''Commando''.<ref name=TROVA>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex'', pp. 222-223, "Copper Profile"</ref>

As a [[SecurityMech]], rare by Interstellar Law, the ''Copper'' is primarily an anti-riot 'Mech, which can also act in security situations. The 'Mech is powered by a 100-rated [[fuel cell]] engine, propelling it up to 64.8 km/h, but has no military-grade [[environmental sealing]]; this forces the pilot to wearing a gas mask, or air tank, or other some kind of personal protection if the area they're operating in has hazards in the air, or a lack thereof.<ref name=TROVA/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Copper'' is armed with a [[Coventry Twin-Tube]] [[SRM-2]] launcher in its left arm, which is typically loaded with [[tear gas]] ammunition. In its right arm, the 'Mech mounts two [[Coventry Autogun]] [[machine gun]]s with one ton of ammunition, most often rubber bullets for use in riot situations.<ref name=TROVA/><ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 208</ref>

*; CPK-19 : This variant is the Star League Era ''Copper'', which was the original design first sold in [[2619]]. It differs from the CPK-65 only slightly, with its [[ICE]] power plant having no heat sinks, and two additional [[machine gun]]s, with ammunition, placed in the left arm instead of the [[SRM-2]]. Aside from those differences, the CPK-19 is identical to CPK-65.
