Recognition notes
The Kraken (Bane) is a 100-ton assault fielded as a sniper. Its arms each carry five Ultra AC/2, ten autocannons in total, while four machine guns sit clustered in the right torso. A 300 XL fusion engine gives it a cruising speed of 32 km/h and a top speed of 54 km/h, and the frame carries standard armor over standard internal structure with ten double heat sinks fitted. Ironhold Alpha Complex builds the type at its Ironhold plant, with production carried out at other sites as well.
