Recognition notes
The Blade BLD-XX is a 35-ton striker built for close-in work, cruising at 76 km/h and reaching 119 km/h on its 245 XL fusion engine. All three of its weapons cluster in the right arm: an LB 10-X AC alongside a pair of ER medium lasers. CASE in the right torso protects against a magazine detonation, and the chassis is noted as an easily-serviced design. Endo steel structure and light ferro-fibrous armor keep the frame light, with 10 double heat sinks handling the arm-mounted battery. New Hessen WorkMechs builds it at New Hessen.
