==Description==
With a noticeable lack of [[OmniMech]]s designed in the [[Federated Suns]], [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns#Ranks|Field Marshal]] Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]] went over the heads of the [[AFFS#Department of the Quartermaster|Department of the Quartermaster]] and commissioned [[Kallon Industries]] to design an assault OmniMech and backed the project with his own considerable financial resources. The resulting 'Mech is a force to be reckoned with on the modern battlefield. The '''''Templar''''' is built on a lightweight [[Kallon Type XIX]] [[Endo Steel]] chassis and is powered by a [[KalTek 340]] [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 64.8 km/h without sacrificing pod space. The ''Templar'' has thirteen fixed [[double heat sink]]s and is armored with sixteen and a half tons of [[Starshield A]] armor with [[CASE]] fixed in the right torso. Overall, this allows the ''Templar'' to have forty tons of free [[OmniPod]] space for weapons and equipment which the 'Mech uses effectively in its various configurations.
