Recognition notes
The Dasher (Fire Moth) M is a 20-ton light fielded as a striker, cruising at 108 km/h and topping out at 162, with a MASC-boosted sprint of 216 km/h when engaged. Where the Prime configuration mounts twin 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 carries four ER small lasers in the left arm and trades the short-range missile racks for a single LRM 15 in the right arm. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and the ferro-fibrous armor and endo steel structure carry over unchanged. It is built at Dominion Facility Kappa-4 on Goito, with production also running at other Dominion and Ghost Bear sites.
