Recognition notes
The Kraken (Bane) 7 is a 100-ton assault that fights at long range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54. Where the original Kraken (Bane) of 2827 carried twin Ultra AC/2s and a Machine Gun, this rebuild swaps both arm autocannons for a HAG/40 in the left arm and a HAG/40 in the right arm, and replaces the torso machine gun with a Large Pulse Laser and an ER Medium Laser, both in the right torso. Endo-composite internal structure replaces the base model's standard structure, and the heat-sink count rises from 10 to 14 double sinks. Olivetti Weaponry builds the type at Sudeten.
