Recognition notes
The Helios HEL-3D is a 60-ton skirmisher that cruises at 43 km/h and tops out near 65, with a jump range of 120 metres. A Gauss rifle rides in the right arm, and a pair of ER medium lasers cluster in the left arm for closer work, while an SRM 6 in each torso fills out the middle distance. CASE lines the right torso, protecting the mounted SRM ammunition there, and the chassis is built as an easily-serviced design. Ceres Metals Industries produces the type at its Warlock plant.
