Recognition notes
The JLP-KB is a 30-ton striker built for close-in work, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130 km/h with a 240-metre jump capability carried over from the JLP-BD original. Where the JLP-BD mounted a single ATM 6 in the right torso, the JLP-KB fields a pair of SRM 4 racks, one in each torso, alongside the same twin ER Medium Lasers in the arms. The head-mounted Laser AMS and its paired light active probe give way to a RISC Advanced Point Defense System in the head, and the light active probe is dropped entirely. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and Eris Enterprises Design Group builds it at Capolla.
