The project fell through and was left unfinished until ComStar continued the project independently when they were looking for a new 'Mech to deploy the new [[improved C3]] system when it was initially developed. The ''Tessen'' is built on a lightweight [[Endo Steel]] chassis and is powered by a lightweight Vlar 300 [[XL engine]], giving the 'Mech a top speed of 97.2 km/h. The ''Tessen'' carries an improved C3 computer allowing it to share targeting data with other C3i equipped friendly units. Additionally, the ''Tessen'' has an [[Improved Narc Missile Beacon]], allowing it to designate targets for missile attacks from friendly units and a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] laser designator allowing the ''Tessen'' to spot for [[Arrow IV]] artillery missile attacks. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Tessen'' has nine tons of Durallex [[ferro-fibrous]] armor with [[CASE]] to protect against complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion.<ref name="TRO:3067p68+"/><ref name="FM:CSp152+">''Field Manual: ComStar'', pp. 152-153, "TSN-1C Tessen"</ref> == Weapons and Equipment == For long range combat, the ''Tessen'' carries a single [[Lord's Light 2]] [[ER PPC]] capable of hitting enemy units at extreme ranges. For close combat, the 'Mech has a single [[Diverse Optics Type 20P]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]] with which to defend itself.<ref name="TRO:3067p68+"/><ref name="FM:CSp152+"/> == Variants == *;TSN-1Cr : This [[Jihad]]-era field refit developed in [[Introduction Year::3069]]<ref name="MUL2"/> was based on captured [[Word of Blake]] equipment.

This 'Mech is equipped with a [[C3 Remote Sensor Launcher]] and an [[Angel ECM Suite]], making it appeal to the thinking gladiator. However [[Impact-Resistant Armor]] was installed to soften blows from opposing physical attacks, it’s a bit hard to fathom what the designers may have been thinking, given that ''Rapunzel'' also benefits from a payload of two [[Clan]]-spec [[Medium Pulse Lasers]] and an [[Inner Sphere]]-made [[ER Large Laser]] enhanced with experimental [[RISC Laser Pulse Module]]. The best theories offered to date both converge on the idea that ''Rapunzel'' is a work in progress.
