Recognition Notes
The Cygnus is a 95-ton assault that closes to brawl, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. It carries a pair of Ultra AC/10s, one in each arm, backed by four Medium Pulse Lasers split two apiece between the left torso and the right torso. A targeting computer sits in the right torso alongside the ammunition feeds for those cannons, and the 380 XL fusion engine rides in an endo steel frame under standard armor. WC Site 1 builds it, with additional production at Csesztreg Industriplex Alpha and Transitional Facility HH-Beta.
