Recognition notes
The Dragonfly (Viper) J is a 40-ton striker configuration that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and reaching a top speed of 130, with a jump range of 240 metres. Where the Prime configuration carries an SRM 4 in the left arm, this configuration mounts three ATM 3 launchers there, and in place of the twin Medium Pulse Lasers in the right arm it fields a pair of ER Micro Lasers. The Anti-Missile System of the base configuration's left torso is absent, and the two Machine Guns of the right torso are replaced by two more ER Micro Lasers. It keeps the low, hard-to-target silhouette common to the chassis, and is built by Kindraa Sainze Primary Production Facility at its Shadow factory, among other sites.
