Recognition notes
The Blade BLD-XL is a 35-ton striker built around a 245 XL fusion engine, cruising at 76 km/h and reaching 119 km/h at need. Its firepower is concentrated entirely in the right arm, where a Rotary AC/5 sits alongside a pair of ER Medium Lasers. CASE lines the right torso, and light ferro-fibrous armor covers the frame over an endo steel skeleton. The design is noted as easily serviced, and New Hessen WorkMechs builds it at New Hessen.
