Recognition notes
The CES-5D is a 70-ton brawler, a 3148 rework of the 3049 CES-3R that swaps the Right Torso Gauss Rifle for a HAG/20 and drops the pair of rear-facing medium pulse lasers, leaving the Medium Pulse Laser in the Left Arm and the ER PPC and second Medium Pulse Laser in the Right Arm. Endo steel structure and Inner Sphere hardened armor replace the standard structure and armor of the original, and Triple-Strength myomer joins a supercharger in the Left Torso, letting it sprint to 86 km/h with the supercharger engaged beyond its 43 km/h cruise and 65 km/h top speed. Talons on both legs are new to this configuration, and the heat-sink count falls from 16 to 10 Inner Sphere double sinks. It keeps the hyper-extending arm actuators of the CES-3R, and Johnston Industries builds it at New Syrtis.
