Recognition notes
The Hornet HNT-152 is a 20-ton striker that closes to short range, a 2997 field refit of the 2760 HNT-151. In place of the LRM 5 in the right torso it carries an SRM 4, trading the earlier model's stand-off punch for close-in firepower, while the Small Laser in the left arm and the Medium Laser in the right arm carry over unchanged. Cruising speed holds at 54 km/h with a top speed near 86, and a single jump still carries it 150 metres. The type keeps its minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and it is assembled piecemeal as a field refit rather than at a dedicated factory.
