Recognition notes
The Cataphract CTF-4X is a 70-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54, slow for its weight. It pairs an AC/5 in the left arm with a second AC/5 in the right arm, and a Large Laser sits in the center torso for added reach. A LRM 5 tucked into the head lets it harass targets before the autocannons and laser close the range. Sixteen single heat sinks handle the standard-armor chassis, built by Earthwerks Ltd. at its Tikonov works.
