Recognition notes
The Balius C is a 65-ton heavy skirmisher that fields an ATM 9 and an ER Medium Laser in each of the left and right torsos, where the Balius Prime instead carries an ER Large Laser and Medium Pulse Laser per side. A Medium Pulse Laser stays in the rear-facing center torso mount and the Flamer remains in the head, both configurations cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97 on the 390 XL fusion engine. The Balius C runs 10 double heat sinks against the Prime's 14, and shares the same rugged, field-serviceable frame and ferro-fibrous armor. Manufacturing Site 3 builds it, with production also carried out at Transitional Facility HH-Beta.
