Recognition notes
The Karhu A is a 65-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86; a single jump carries it 150 metres, shorter reach than the Prime configuration's jump. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER PPC and ER Medium Laser in the left arm, this configuration carries a Gauss rifle there instead, and it fields an LRM 10 in the left torso in place of the Prime's bare torso mount. The right arm trades the Prime's Plasma Cannon and retractable blade for a Large Pulse Laser, an ER Medium Laser, and a Micro Pulse Laser, and this configuration carries no ECM suite in the right torso. Odin Manufacturing builds it at Orestes.
