Recognition notes
The Cephalus Prime is a 25-ton scout built on a Clan chassis, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out near 162, brisk for its weight. Its offensive fit is light: a Light TAG sits in the left torso, and a Laser AMS covers each of the left and right torsos. A null-signature system and a Chameleon light polarization shield run through both arms, both legs, and the left and right torsos, and modular armor fills the left torso, right torso, and center torso. A Nova combined electronic-warfare system rides in the head. The design presents an armless configuration and is known as a maintenance-intensive machine. Kerensky Memorial Manufacturing builds it at Strana Mechty.
