Recognition notes
The Helepolis HEP-3H is a 75-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 2625 rebuild of the 2460 HEP-1H. A 225 fusion engine replaces the original's 180, lifting cruising speed from 22 to 32 km/h and top speed from 32 to 54. Where the HEP-1H carries a Large Laser in the left arm, this variant fields an ER Large Laser in the same location, and it adds an LRM 10 in the left torso, backed by CASE in that same location. The Sniper in the right torso, the SRM 6 in the center torso, and the Medium Laser in the head carry over from the base model, and standard armor replaces the HEP-1H's primitive plating while ten double heat sinks stand in for its eleven single sinks. Both variants share the same reinforced legs and stable firing platform. Mitchell Vehicles builds the HEP-3H at Graham IV.
