Recognition notes
The Banzai BNZ-X is a 90-ton assault built for close-in skirmishing, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. With MASC and a supercharger both engaged, it can sprint to 108 km/h, a startling burst for a machine its size. Twin large pulse lasers fill the right arm, backed by a pair of medium pulse lasers in the right torso and an ER small laser in the head, while the left arm carries a large vibroblade for melee work. The center torso houses a booby trap alongside the supercharger, and the type is known as a maintenance-intensive design. Luthien Armor Works builds it at New Samarkand.
