Recognition notes

The Lightning Attack Hovercraft (RL) is a 35-ton hover combat vehicle built as a scout, cruising at 119 km/h and topping out near 184. Where the base model mounts twin medium pulse lasers up front along with one-shot SRM 4 launchers on the right side and left side, this variant strips all four weapons and mounts a pair of Anti-Missile Systems in the front instead. The change leaves the hull without offensive punch beyond point-defense fire, though the ferro-fibrous armor and fusion engine carry over unchanged. Kressly Warworks builds it at Epsilon Eridani.
