Recognition notes

The BSW-S2 is a 55-ton medium built for the sniper role, a 3056 rework of the 3053 BSW-X1 skirmisher configuration. Where the BSW-X1 pairs LRM 5 racks in the left arm and left torso, this variant swaps them for SRM 4 racks in the same locations, and the right arm's AC/10 gives way to an LB 10-X AC. In place of the machine guns that sat in the left and right torsos, the left torso now houses an Anti-Missile System, and the ER Large Laser holds its place in the center torso. CASE lines both torsos, and the type carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette. TharHes Industries builds it at Tharkad.
