Recognition notes
The Iron Cheetah C is a 100-ton assault built for close brawling work, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration carries a pair of ER PPCs and an LRM 15 in the left arm alongside a Gauss rifle and twin Medium Pulse Lasers in the right, the C configuration replaces that spread with twin ER Large Lasers, twin Medium Pulse Lasers, and a Streak SRM 2 in each arm, and moves the LRM 15 to the right torso. The Anti-Missile System, the rear-facing ER Small Laser, and the Artemis IV fire-control system on the Prime are absent here, and the heat-sink count climbs from 16 to 24 double sinks to cope with the denser laser battery. Phan Industriplex builds the type, with production also running at Manufacturing Plant SFF-IT5.
