Recognition notes
The Banshee BNC-1E is a 95-ton assault built for sniping at long range, though it cruises at only 32 km/h and tops out near 54, sluggish for its weight. A Primitive Prototype PPC sits in the right torso and an AC/5 in the left, backed by a pair of medium lasers in the center torso and a small laser in the head for close defense. Its primitive armor plating and rugged, field-serviceable frame mark it as an early production design, and the whole machine is noted as an easily-serviced design. Hegemony Weapons Research builds the BNC-1E at its New Earth works.
