Gladiator GLD-7R

The GLD-7R is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 3117 rebuild of the 2468 original that traded the Gladiator's brawling brief for stand-off firepower. Where the GLD-1R paired twin medium lasers with a large laser, this configuration carries twin ER medium lasers in the left arm, a plasma rifle in the right arm, and an SRM 4 with a pair of ER small lasers in the right torso, backed by CASE II in that torso. A 220 light fusion engine and triple-strength myomer replace the base model's 265 fusion plant, holding the same 43 km/h cruising speed and 65 km/h top speed while allowing a boosted cruising speed of 65 km/h under combat heat, and hardened armor replaces the GLD-1R's primitive plating. It carries a reinforced head cowl and jumps up to 180 metres, built by StarCorps Industries at Son Hoa.
