Recognition notes
The Flashman FLS-9B is a 75-ton skirmisher, a 3070 rework of the 2701 FLS-8K. Where the original mounts a Large Laser and Medium Laser in each arm, the FLS-9B swaps in an ER Large Laser and Medium Pulse Laser per arm. The center torso's Large Laser gives way to an ER Small Laser, and each side torso now carries a single ER Medium Laser, replacing the FLS-8K's paired Medium Lasers in the left torso and its Medium Laser and Anti-Missile System in the right torso; the head's Flamer is gone as well, and a C3i computer fills that space instead. Endo steel internal structure and light ferro-fibrous armor replace the standard structure and armor, and the heat sink count drops from 15 to 12 double, while cruising and top speeds hold at 54 and 86 km/h. The rugged, field-serviceable frame carries over, and Defiance Industries builds it at Hesperus II.
