Recognition Notes
The Emperor EMP-1A is a 90-ton assault built as a juggernaut, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54, slow even by the standards of its weight class. It pairs an AC/5 in the left arm with a second AC/5 in the right arm, and carries three medium lasers, one each in the left torso, right torso, and head. The frame is a command 'Mech, and primitive armor plates the chassis. Quarry Arms builds it, with production also carried out at other sites.
