Recognition notes
The Firestorm is a 50-ton skirmisher riding a 250 Clan XL fusion engine, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86, with a jump range of 210 metres. Clan MASC in the left torso lets it push to a sprint speed of 108 km/h when engaged. Its left arm carries an ER medium laser, a micro pulse laser, and a flamer, while the right arm mounts a plasma rifle and the right torso a plasma cannon; a second ER medium laser sits in the head. Clan endo steel structure and Clan ferro-fibrous armor keep the weight down, and the design carries a low, hard-to-target silhouette. Clan Protectorate Arms builds it at Asellus Australis.
