Recognition notes
The Bakeneko BKN-1K is a 55-ton skirmisher built on a 330 Clan XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a jump range of 180 metres. Clan MASC in the center torso pushes its sprint speed to 130 km/h when engaged. It carries a Large Pulse Laser in the left arm and a Light PPC in the right arm, the latter backed by a PPC capacitor, with an MML 3 in each torso and an ER Medium Laser in the head. The chassis mixes Inner Sphere endo steel structure with standard armor and ten Inner Sphere double heat sinks. Irece Alpha builds it at Irece.
