Recognition Notes
The Helios HEL-6X is a 60-ton skirmisher that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86, with a jump range of 150 metres. Its right arm carries a Heavy PPC, while a pair of ER Medium Lasers fill the left arm and a Medium VSP Laser sits in each torso. A C3i computer occupies the left torso, and the triple-strength myomer lets the chassis push its cruising speed to 76 km/h when heat builds. The design is noted as an easily-serviced machine, and it is fielded as a field refit built at various sites rather than from a single dedicated line.
