Recognition notes

The Butcherbird (Ion Sparrow) C is a 20-ton scout that closes to short range, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130, with a jump range of 300 metres. Where the Prime configuration carries a pair of Improved Heavy Medium Lasers in the left arm and twin AP Gauss Rifles in the right, this configuration replaces both mounts with a trio of ER Small Lasers in each arm, six weapons in all. A targeting computer sits in the left torso alongside the partial wing, an addition not found in the Prime's left torso, while the right torso carries a partial wing of its own. The type is built by CJF Factory Zone 4 on Alyina.
