Recognition notes
The Locust IIC 7 is a 25-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130. Where the original Locust IIC packs four ER Small Lasers into each arm and a Medium Pulse Laser in the center torso, this configuration trims the arm batteries to three AP Gauss Rifles apiece and swaps the center torso weapon for an ER Medium Laser. A targeting computer fills the head, a fitting the base model lacks. The engine, endo steel structure, ferro-fibrous armor, and ten double heat sinks carry over unchanged, as does the low, hard-to-target silhouette on minimal, hand-less weapon-pod arms. Manufacturing Site #3 builds it at New Oslo.
