Recognition Notes
The Aquagladius AQS-3 is a 50-ton striker built for close-in melee work, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97 on its 300 light fusion engine. A flail sits in the right arm and a BattleMech Taser in the left, giving it two ways to disable an opponent without gunfire. Underwater maneuvering units and HarJel systems are fitted in each torso section, and light ferro-fibrous plating covers the endo steel frame. It is known as a maintenance-intensive design, and Vining Engineering and Salvage Teams builds it on Solaris VII.
