Recognition Notes
The Helios HEL-7L is a 60-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Its right arm carries a Gauss rifle, and the left arm mounts a pair of Light PPCs. An MML 5 sits in each torso, giving it flexibility at range without adding tonnage. CASE II protects the right torso, and a boosted C3 slave unit in the left torso ties it into a larger sensor network. The design is noted as easily serviced, and Ceres Metals Industries builds it at St. Ives.
