Helepolis HEP-2X

The Helepolis HEP-2X is a 75-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 2488 rebuild of the 2460 HEP-1H. It adds an LRM 10 in the left torso alongside the Large Laser in the left arm, the Sniper in the right torso, the SRM 6 in the center torso, and the Medium Laser in the head. A larger 225 fusion engine lifts cruising speed from 22 to 32 km/h and top speed from 32 to 54 km/h, and standard armor plating replaces the HEP-1H's primitive plating. CASE now lines the left torso, while the heat-sink count falls from 11 to 10 single sinks. The design keeps its reinforced legs and stands as a stable firing platform, and Ceres Metals Industries builds it at Ward.
