Recognition notes
The Drift Shag is a 30-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 76 km/h and topping out near 119, with a single jump carrying it 180 metres. Its left arm carries four ER Small Lasers, while an ER Large Laser sits in the right arm and a Medium Pulse Laser rests in the right torso. The design runs on a 210 XL fusion engine over an endo steel structure, and it stands with a low, hard-to-target silhouette. Hector MechWorks builds it at its Facility Beta plant on Hector.
