Goliath GOL-4S

The GOL-4S is an 80-ton assault reworked as a close-in brawler, a sharp break from the long-range sniper role of the 3067 rebuild's 2652 forebear, the GOL-1H. Where the GOL-1H carried a PPC and paired LRM 10 racks with a pair of machine guns spread across both torsos, the GOL-4S centers its firepower on a Heavy Gauss Rifle in the center torso, backed by a single LRM 10 and twin ER medium lasers all mounted in the right torso. CASE lines both the left torso and the right torso, guarding against the volatile ammunition feeding the Heavy Gauss Rifle. The engine changes from a standard 320 fusion plant to a 320 light fusion engine, and heat sinks drop from 17 single to 10 double units, while cruising and top speed hold at 43 and 65 km/h. Defiance Industries builds the type at Hesperus II, with TharHes Industries producing it at Tharkad as well.
