Recognition notes
The Hiryo Armored Infantry Transport 'BloodHound' is a 40-ton WiGE combat vehicle fielded as a scout, cruising at 86 km/h with a top speed near 130. Where the base Hiryo mounts a Snub-Nose PPC in the front, the BloodHound carries a Medium X-Pulse Laser there instead, and a Bloodhound active probe sits in the front as well. Its fusion engine replaces the base model's light engine, and its infantry compartment shrinks from 8 tons to 4 tons. The hull carries environmental sealing, and the crew is noted for flying a maintenance-intensive design. Pesht Motors builds it at Unity.
