Recognition notes
The Dragonfly (Viper) F is a 40-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out near 130. Where the Prime configuration carries an SRM 4 and twin medium pulse lasers in the arms with an anti-missile system and paired machine guns in the torsos, this configuration fills each arm with four heavy machine guns tied into a heavy machine gun array, and mounts an ER medium laser in each torso and the center torso. It keeps the same 320 XL fusion engine, ferro-fibrous armor, and low, hard-to-target silhouette. Kindraa Sainze Primary Production Facility builds it, along with several other production sites.
