Recognition notes
The Goshawk (Vapor Eagle) 6 is a 55-ton skirmisher built on a 330 XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a single jump carrying it 180 metres. The right arm carries three ER medium lasers, while the left arm mounts three machine guns and the left torso adds a fourth alongside an Ultra AC/2; a second Ultra AC/2 sits in the right torso. A targeting computer occupies the right torso as well, working alongside the double heat sinks and ferro-fibrous armor plating over an endo steel frame. Industrial Complex Raven Rho builds the type at Hellgate, with production also carried out at other sites.
