Recognition notes

The Butcherbird (Ion Sparrow) B is a 20-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out near 130, with a partial wing in each torso extending its 300-metre jump. Where the Prime configuration carries twin Improved Heavy Medium Lasers in the left arm and paired AP Gauss Rifles in the right, this configuration replaces both mounts with an SRM 6 in the left arm and an SRM 6 in the right arm. The engine, structure, and ferro-fibrous armor carry over unchanged from the Prime. CJF Factory Zone 4 builds it at its Alyina facility.
