Recognition notes
The Dragonfly (Viper) K is a 40-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130, with a jump capability of 240 metres. Where the Prime configuration carries an SRM 4 and twin medium pulse lasers in the arms, this configuration mounts three AP Gauss Rifles in the left arm and a pair of ER medium lasers in the right arm. In place of the Prime's Anti-Missile System and twin machine guns, the K carries an Angel ECM suite in the left torso and pairs an active probe with a TAG unit in the right torso. It keeps the same low, hard-to-target silhouette as the Prime. Kindraa Sainze Primary Production Facility builds it at its Shadow line, among other sites.
