Recognition notes
The Buccaneer BCN-5W is a 55-ton scout built for close-in work, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 km/h with a 210-metre jump capability. A Plasma Rifle sits in the right arm, backed by a Heavy Machine Gun and a Heavy Machine Gun Array both in the right torso, while a Hatchet in the left arm gives it a melee option. The design runs on a 275 XL fusion engine and wears light ferro-fibrous armor plating. Gibson Federated BattleMechs, a division of Free Worlds Defense Industries, builds the type at its Gibson works.
