Recognition notes
The Cephalus C is a 25-ton scout that fights close-in, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out near 162. In place of the Prime configuration's Light TAG and twin Laser AMS units in the torsos, this configuration carries a Plasma Cannon in the Left Torso and a Flamer in the Right Torso, and its torso locations forgo the modular armor and laser anti-missile hardware mounted on the Prime. The null-signature system and Chameleon light polarization shield still run through both arms, both legs, and the torsos, with the null-signature system alone in the center torso. A Nova combined electronic-warfare system sits in the head, and the machine presents an armless configuration that is maintenance-intensive. Kerensky Memorial Manufacturing builds it at Strana Mechty.
