Recognition Notes
The Gladiator GLD-2R is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 2487 rework of the 2468 GLD-1R brawler. It carries the same weapons as the original: twin medium lasers in the left arm and a large laser in the right. A 275 fusion engine replaces the earlier 265, lifting cruising speed from 43 to 54 km/h and top speed from 65 to 86 km/h, and standard armor plating replaces the GLD-1R's primitive armor. The heat-sink count rises from 14 to 19 single sinks, and the reinforced head cowl carries over from the earlier model. New Samarkand Armor Works builds the GLD-2R at New Samarkand.
