Recognition notes
The Cougar A is a 35-ton light that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Cougar Prime mounts a Large Pulse Laser in each arm, this configuration carries an ER Medium Laser in the Left Arm and another in the Right Arm, and in place of the Prime's LRM 10s it fields an LRM 20 in each torso, each fed by an Artemis IV fire-control system. A Small Pulse Laser sits in the Head, rounding out its close-in defense. Ironhold Alpha Complex builds the type at Ironhold, with Olivetti Weaponry producing it at Sudeten as well.
