Recognition Notes

The Baboon (Howler) 6 is a 20-ton light that fights close in, a striker's rework of the 2871 missile boat original that traded reach for punch. Where the base model fires three LRM 5 racks from the right torso, this configuration carries a pair of SRM 6 launchers in the same location, backed by a shoulder turret and CASE II. Cruising and top speed hold at 76 and 119 km/h, and the low, hard-to-target silhouette and fixed searchlight carry over from the original. It is built at CJF Factory Zone 5 on Blackjack.
