Recognition notes
The Emperor EMP-5A is a 90-ton juggernaut, a 2502 rebuild of the 2442 EMP-1A original. Each arm carries a Large Laser alongside the AC/5 already mounted there, and medium lasers sit in the left torso, right torso, and head, as on the EMP-1A. A 270 fusion engine replaces the EMP-1A's 325 unit, yet cruising speed holds at 32 km/h with a top speed of 54 km/h. The rebuild adds a jump capability of 90 meters, absent from the original, and heat sinks rise from 10 single to 16 single. It is a command 'Mech, built by StarCorps Industries at Son Hoa among other sites.
