Recognition Notes
The Banshee BNC-3S is a 95-ton juggernaut that fights close-in, a 3026 rebuild of the 2445 BNC-1E sniper. Where the BNC-1E fielded a single AC/5 and a Primitive Prototype PPC for reach, the BNC-3S trades those for a PPC in the left arm and a second PPC in the right torso, with an AC/10 in the left torso, an SRM 6 in the right torso, and four medium lasers packed into that same right torso. A small laser sits in the center torso and another in the head, in place of the BNC-1E's pair of medium lasers in the center torso. The 285 fusion engine is lighter than the BNC-1E's 345 unit yet the machine still cruises at 32 km/h and tops out near 54, and standard armor now covers the frame where the original wore primitive plate. Heat sinks climb from 16 to 21 single sinks, and HDF Manufacturing builds the type at its Falsterbo works.
