Recognition notes
The Arcas 3 is a 65-ton skirmisher that fights at medium range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 km/h with a 210-meter jump capability. A Heavy Large Laser fills the right arm, while a Streak SRM 4 and a Medium Pulse Laser share the right torso and a second Medium Pulse Laser sits in the left torso. A targeting computer in the left torso backs the direct-fire weapons. The 325 XL fusion engine and ferro-fibrous armor keep the frame light for its firepower, and fifteen double heat sinks handle the load. Bergan Industries - Alshain Weapons builds the type at its Alshain plant.
