Hornet HNT-171

The HNT-171 is a 20-ton striker, a 3051 rebuild of the 2760-era HNT-151, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. It drops the left arm's small laser in favor of an Anti-Missile System in the head, while the Medium Laser in the right arm and the LRM 5 in the right torso carry over from the original. CASE now lines the left torso, and endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the standard structure and armor of the HNT-151, though the jump range falls from 150 to 90 metres. The chassis keeps its minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and is built by Kallon Weapon Industries at Talon (Wernke).
