Recognition notes
The Lineholder KW2-LHW is a 55-ton skirmisher, a 3065 rework of the 3058 KW1-LH2, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the original carries a Large Laser, this configuration mounts an ER Large Laser in the left arm, and the four Medium Lasers in the torsos become ER Medium Lasers, two in the left torso and two in the right, alongside a pair of LRM 5 racks in the right arm. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the standard structure and armor of the KW1-LH2, and a C3i computer sits in the center torso. Heat sinks number 14 double units in place of the earlier single-heat-sink array. It remains an easily-serviced design, built by Kressly Warworks at Epsilon Eridani.
