Recognition Notes
The Chippewa CHP-W8 is a 90-ton fighter flown in the attack role, built on an XL engine in place of the CHP-W5's fusion plant and wrapped in Heavy Ferro-Aluminum rather than Standard armor. The nose battery of paired LRM 15s, an SRM 6, and twin medium lasers gives way to three MML 7 launchers tied to an Artemis IV FCS. Each wing carries two Large Pulse Lasers and a Medium Laser where the CHP-W5 mounted two Large Lasers apiece, and the aft arc keeps its paired small lasers, now in the ER Small Laser pattern. Heat sink count falls from 25 single heat sinks to 24 double heat sinks. Bowie Industries builds the type at Alarion.
