Recognition notes
The Cestus CTS-6X is a 65-ton heavy that carries an unusually heavy energy battery for a design of its class. Each arm mounts a PPC, a Large Laser, and a Medium Pulse Laser, giving it six weapons in an identical mirrored loadout. It runs on a 260 XL fusion engine, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, and carries 14 single heat sinks to manage the output of its own guns. Armor is standard plate, and General Motors builds the type at its Kathil facility.
