Well, this was something I was thinking of for the thread-bumped limited Star League tech contest. Haven't put in the fluff yet, but it's designed to be a predecessor to the Marauder series.
Yes, I know that CASE is not the most cost-effective option, but I didn't want to necessarily go with the DHS right away for the purpose of the contest.

The -2R variant is the 2750 equivalent. It has additional upgrades, mainly involving the addition of double heat sinks and ER PPCs replacing the standard models.

Lastly, the Word of Blake has started using retrofitted Ransackers, using light ferro-fibrous and a regular gauss rifle instead of the AC/20. An improved C3i unit and a quartet of ER Medium Lasers round out the weapons package.
