Recognition Notes
The Griffin GRF-1E "Sparky" is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 3035 field rebuild of the 2465-vintage GRF-1A sniper. Where the GRF-1A carried a single Primitive Prototype PPC in the right arm and an LRM 5 in the right torso, the Sparky pairs a PPC with a Medium Laser in the right arm and adds a Medium Laser each in the left arm, left torso, and right torso. A lighter 275 fusion engine drives the lighter frame to a cruising speed of 54 km/h and a top speed of 86, well up from the GRF-1A's 43 and 65, and its jump range extends to 150 meters against the original's 90. Standard armor replaces the primitive plating of the GRF-1A, and the frame carries reinforced battle fists on both arms along with a rugged, field-serviceable build. It is a field refit rather than a factory product, assembled at various sites.
