Recognition notes
The Locust IIC 5 is a 25-ton striker built on the same 200 fusion engine and endo steel frame as the original Locust IIC, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130. Where the base model packs four ER small lasers into each arm, this configuration strips that down to a single ATM 3 launcher per arm, and the center torso mount swaps the original's medium pulse laser for an ER medium laser. The result is a far lighter weapons fit than the original's eight-laser broadside, with the low, hard-to-target silhouette and hand-less weapon-pod arms carried over from the base design. Gorton, Kingsley, & Thorpe Enterprises builds it at Satalice.
