Recognition Notes
The Gladiator GLD-1R is a 55-ton brawler cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. It fields a pair of medium lasers in the left arm and a large laser in the right arm, giving it both close and medium punch in a straight-up fight. Primitive armor plating and a reinforced head cowl mark it as an early-production design, and it carries a service note listing it as obsolete by 2488. Sword of the Prophet Enterprises builds the type at its Algedi works, with additional production at several other sites.
