Recognition notes
The Firestarter FS9-H is a 35-ton scout built for close-in work, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a 180-metre jump capability. It carries a Medium Laser and a Flamer in each arm, a Machine Gun in each torso, and a pair of Flamers in the center torso, one of them rear-facing. The design runs on a 210 fusion engine with standard armor and ten single heat sinks. Argile Technologies builds it at Skye, with additional production at Coventry and Erdvynn.
