Recognition notes
The Cephalus E is a 25-ton light that fights at long range, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out at 162. Where the Cephalus Prime carries a Light TAG alongside twin Laser AMS units for a scouting role, this configuration strips out the Laser AMS mounts entirely and fields an ER Large Laser in the left torso alongside a Light TAG in the right torso for a sniping role. An additional Clan double heat sink brings the total to 11. Like the Prime, it has an armless configuration and is a maintenance-intensive design, built by Kerensky Memorial Manufacturing at Strana Mechty.
