Recognition notes
The Dasher (Fire Moth) G is a 20-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out at 162 km/h; with MASC and a supercharger engaged it can sprint to 270 km/h. Where the Prime configuration carries a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the left arm alongside an SRM 6 in the right arm and an SRM 4 in the right torso, this configuration mounts four Improved Heavy Medium Lasers, two in each arm. A supercharger sits in the left torso, and a targeting computer and coolant pod occupy the right torso, with the MASC in the center torso. Ferro-fibrous armor covers a low, hard-to-target silhouette. Dominion Facility Kappa-4 builds it at Goito, with other sites also producing the type.
