Recognition notes
The Dasher (Fire Moth) I is a 20-ton light that fights at long range, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out near 162, with a sprint speed of 216 km/h when its MASC is engaged. Where the Prime configuration mounts twin ER Medium Lasers in the left arm, this configuration carries a single ER Large Laser. In place of the Prime's SRM 6 in the right arm it fields an Improved Heavy Small Laser, and where the Prime's right torso carries an SRM 4, this configuration mounts an LRM 5. The MASC in the center torso carries over between both loadouts, and the type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette. Dominion Facility Kappa-4 builds it at Goito, with production at other sites as well.
