Recognition notes
The Issus 2 is a 40-ton fighter flown as a fast dogfighter. Where the Issus mounts a Streak SRM 6 in the nose, this variant carries an ATM 9 and a Heavy Large Laser there alongside the ER Small Laser, with an added ER Medium Laser rounding out the nose battery. Each wing sheds the ER Large Laser of the original, leaving a single ER Medium Laser in the right wing and in the left wing. CASE fills the fuselage, and twelve double heat sinks cool the ferro-aluminum-armored airframe. Crest Foundries builds it at Lum.
