Recognition notes
The Hatchetman HCT-5DD is a 45-ton skirmisher built around a 225 XL fusion engine, cruising at 54 km/h and reaching 86 km/h, with a single jump carrying it 150 metres. It pairs an ER medium laser in the left torso with a Rotary AC/2 in the right torso, and a targeting computer sits alongside the laser in the left torso to sharpen both weapons' aim. A hatchet is mounted in the right arm for close-quarters melee work, and the type carries anti-aircraft fire control among its systems. It is built at New Syrtis under a refit program run by Johnston Industries.
