Recognition notes
The Cestus CTS-6Y is a 65-ton brawler, a 2766 rebuild of the 2609 CTS-6X original. It drops the PPC from each arm and swaps the Medium Pulse Laser for a Medium Laser, keeping the Large Laser in each arm, and adds a Gauss Rifle in the right torso. Cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, its heat-sink fit shifts to 12 double sinks from the CTS-6X's 14 single sinks. General Motors builds it at Kathil, with additional production at Solaris VII.
