Recognition notes

The Cygnus 3 is a 95-ton assault that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. It carries four HAG/20 rifles, one in each arm and one in each torso, giving it a uniform battery of stand-off firepower. An endo steel skeleton and a 380 XL fusion engine free up mass for the quartet of heavy guns, backed by ten double heat sinks and standard armor plating. Csesztreg Industriplex Alpha builds the type at its Csesztreg works, with production also carried out at other sites.
