Recognition notes
The Cauldron-Born Prime is a 65-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 on its 325 XL fusion engine. A Gauss Rifle sits in the right arm and an LB 5-X AC in the left, with an LRM 10 and an ER Medium Laser sharing the left torso and an SRM 2 in the right torso. Ferro-fibrous armor covers the endo steel frame, and the design carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette. Huntress Manufacturing Plant DL-6 builds the type on Huntress, with production also running at Manufacturing Plant SFF-CO1.
