Recognition notes
The Firestarter FS9-S2 is a 35-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a 180-metre jump. It carries an ER medium laser and a flamer in each arm, another flamer in the center torso alongside a rear-facing flamer, and a small laser in the right torso. An anti-missile system sits in the left torso next to a Beagle active probe, and light ferro-fibrous armor covers the frame. Coventry Metal Works builds it at Coventry.
