Recognition notes
The Balius Prime is a 65-ton skirmisher built around a 390 XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h with a top speed near 97. Its firepower centers on two ER Large Lasers, one in each torso, backed by a Medium Pulse Laser paired with each of them and a further two Medium Pulse Lasers mounted rear-facing in the center torso. A Flamer sits in the head, rounding out its close-in defenses. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor keep the frame light for its weapons load, and the design is noted for a rugged, field-serviceable frame. It is built at Manufacturing Site 3, with production also carried out at other sites.
