Recognition Notes
The Firestarter FS9-S is a 35-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a single jump carrying it 180 metres. Each arm carries a Flamer and a Medium Laser, and a third Flamer sits in the center torso alongside a rear-facing Flamer for covering its back arc. A Small Laser rounds out the right torso, and an Anti-Missile System in the left torso guards against incoming fire. A Beagle active probe also occupies the left torso, and endo steel structure keeps the frame light under its standard armor. Coventry Metal Works builds the type at Coventry.
