Recognition notes
The Firebee FRB-3E is a 35-ton brawler that closes to short range behind a Plasma Rifle in its right arm and an MML 5 tucked into the left torso. CASE lines that left torso against the missile rack's ammunition, and a Guardian ECM suite fills the right torso. Stealth armor plating and ten double heat sinks let it work in close without lingering exposure, and it moves on a 175 fusion engine at a cruising 54 km/h with a top speed near 86. Hellespont 'Mech Works builds it at Betelgeuse, with additional production at Sian.
