Recognition notes
The Flashman FLS-8K is a 75-ton skirmisher that fights at medium range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86. Its arms each carry a Large Laser and a Medium Laser, and a third Large Laser sits in the center torso. Additional Medium Lasers fill the left torso, the right torso, and a rear-facing mount in the left torso, while an Anti-Missile System rides in the right torso and a Flamer in the head. A 375 XL fusion engine drives the frame, backed by 15 double heat sinks, and standard armor covers the chassis, which carries a rugged, field-serviceable frame. Defiance Industries builds it, with production also at Hesperus II and Wasat.
