Recognition notes
The Blackjack BJ-1X is a 45-ton medium that fights close in, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. It carries a Medium Laser and a pair of Flamers in each arm, with a further Medium Laser in the left torso and one in the right torso. Eighteen single heat sinks handle the flamer-heavy loadout, and General Motors builds it at its Kathil works.
