Now these are more of a Age of War era development that eventually get perfected into their SL-era counterparts with time. Orginally introduced for Areospace fighters of primtive construction during the 2400s, intitally these were uncommon to see on Aerospace fighters and Battlemechs of Primitive technological design, due to them being used by one periphery faction at first. Eventually went exinct by 2590s when standard technology started to become more prelavent though these double heat sinks and extra-light fusion engines and the primtive prototype equipment and new weapons. despite their drawbacks were taken and secretly worked on by the terran hegemony into the modern countersparts seen in the SL-era and 3040s onwards.

Now I understand prototype versions of these do exist in the IO books, but these were more for primitive mechs and ASF than vehicles(support vehicles more or less got the structural side of constuction rules for Primitives covered). To give some more options for primitive/retrotech mechs and ASF. I am posting this disclaimer here before anyone says 'just use standard tech if you want high tech options/high tech prototypes'. These are intended to be objectively worse than the normal prototypes to an extent, heat genereation for the PPXLFE's not fully listed just the heat generated when standing still is(but it should give you and idea of the pattern I'm going for heat generation PPXLFE's).
