Recognition notes
The Cephalus D is a 25-ton striker that fights in close, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out at 162. Where the Cephalus Prime carries a Light TAG and a pair of Laser AMS systems for reconnaissance work, this configuration strips those out in favor of an Improved Heavy Large Laser in the left torso and an Improved Heavy Small Laser in the right torso. The armless configuration carries over from the Prime, leaving all firepower mounted in the torsos, and the design remains maintenance-intensive. Kerensky Memorial Manufacturing builds it at Strana Mechty.
