Recognition notes
The Dasher (Fire Moth) B is a 20-ton striker built for close-in work, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out near 162, with a MASC-boosted sprint of 216 km/h under that system's strain. Where the Prime configuration carries twin ER medium lasers in the left arm, this configuration mounts a single medium pulse laser there and a second in the right torso, and in place of the Prime's SRM 6 the right arm instead holds a pair of machine guns. An ECM suite fills out the right arm alongside the machine guns, and an Inner Sphere anti-personnel pod sits in the right leg. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and Dominion Facility Kappa-4 builds it at Goito.
