Recognition Notes
The Cataphract CTF-5L is a 70-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Its stand-off punch comes from an ER PPC in the right arm and a Gauss rifle in the right torso, backed by a pair of Small VSP Lasers split between the arms and a Medium Laser mounted rear-facing in each torso. CASE lines the right torso, and laser-reflective armor plates the frame. Earthwerks Ltd. builds it at Tikonov.
