Recognition notes
The Dragonfly (Viper) Prime is a 40-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out near 130, quick for its weight; a single jump carries it 240 metres. Its right arm carries a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers, and the left arm mounts an SRM 4. Twin Machine Guns fill the right torso, and an Anti-Missile System sits in the left torso. The chassis carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette, and ferro-fibrous armor covers its endo steel frame. Kindraa Sainze builds it at its Primary Production Facility on Shadow, among other sites.
