Recognition notes
The Lineholder KW1-LH8 "Linebreaker" is a 55-ton sniper built on the same 275 fusion engine as the KW1-LH2, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the LH2 carried a Large Laser alongside twin LRM 5 racks and four medium lasers spread through the torsos, the Linebreaker strips that mixed loadout down to an ER Large Laser in the left arm and a pair of Rotary AC/2s in the right arm. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the LH2's standard structure and standard armor, and ten double heat sinks stand in place of the fourteen single sinks of the original. The chassis keeps its reputation as an easily-serviced design, and Kressly Warworks builds it at Epsilon Eridani.
