Recognition notes
The Firestarter FS9-A is a 35-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97 on its 210 fusion engine. It carries a Medium Laser and a Flamer in each arm, a Small Laser in each torso, and a pair of additional Flamers in the center torso, one of them rear-facing. The dense flamer arrangement gives it an unusually heavy close-range punch for its weight, all on standard armor. Argile Technologies builds it at its Skye factory.
