Recognition notes
The Black Hawk-KU BHKU-OB is a 60-ton heavy skirmisher, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 with a 150-metre jumping capability. Where the BHKU-O Prime packs its arms with a dense mix of medium pulse lasers, medium lasers, and small lasers in the torsos for close brawling, this configuration strips that arrangement down to a Large Pulse Laser in the left arm and an Ultra AC/5 in the right arm, trading the Prime's short-range volume for reach. The heat-sink count drops from 16 to 14 double sinks to match the lighter weapons fit. It carries the same easily-serviced design as the base configuration, and is built by Luthien Armor Works at its OmniMech production facility, among other sites.
