Recognition notes
The Canis 2 is an 80-ton assault that fights at long range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54, with a jump capability of 90 metres. Where the original 3058 Canis carries an ER Large Laser in each arm, this 3071 rework replaces them with a Large Pulse Laser in the Left Arm and a Right Arm, and adds an ER Large Laser in the Head. In place of the Ultra AC/10 in each torso, it fields a HAG/20 in the Left Torso and a HAG/20 in the Right Torso. The engine, endo steel structure, standard armor, and 16 double heat sinks carry over from the original. Ashton 'Mech Production Complex builds it at Foster (Gregoire).
