Recognition Notes
The Cicada CDA-2A is a 40-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130, fast for a machine of its weight. A Medium Laser sits in each torso, with a Small Laser in the center torso rounding out its bite. The chassis has no arms at all, giving it a stripped, armless silhouette. HartfordCo Industries builds it at Bryant, with additional production at Gibson.
