Recognition Notes
The Cygnus 4 is a 95-ton juggernaut built for close-in brawling, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Twin LB 20-X AC autocannons fill both arms, backed by a pair of Heavy Medium Lasers and an ER Medium Laser in each torso, with two ER Small Lasers rounding out the center torso. It runs on a 380 XL fusion engine over an endo steel frame, wrapped in standard armor and cooled by 15 double heat sinks. WC Site 1 builds it at Arc-Royal, with additional production at Csesztreg.
