Recognition notes
The Barghest BGS-4T is a 70-ton heavy brawler, reworked from the BGS-1T's sniper configuration. Where the BGS-1T ran a 350 XL fusion engine to hit 54 km/h cruising and 86 km/h at the top end, the BGS-4T carries a lighter 280 fusion engine, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Endo steel structure replaces the BGS-1T's standard framing, and in place of the twin ER Large Lasers and the LB 20-X AC, the BGS-4T fields a single ER Large Laser and an ER Medium Laser in the left torso alongside an Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle in the right torso. A quad turret sits in the left torso, CASE II lines the right torso, and a C3 slave unit rides in the head. TharHes Industries builds the type at Tharkad.
