Recognition Notes
The LCT-5T is a 20-ton scout that fights close-in, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out near 130, the same pace as the 2499-era LCT-1V it descends from. Where that original mounted a single machine gun in each arm, this rebuild packs three Light Machine Guns and a Light Machine Gun Array into both the left arm and the right, and swaps the center torso Medium Laser for an ER Medium Laser. A 160 XL fusion engine stands in for the earlier standard fusion plant, and ferro-fibrous plating replaces the LCT-1V's standard armor. CASE now lines the right torso, guarding against the ammunition feeding those machine gun arrays. The type keeps its minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and Pinard Protectorates Limited builds it at Macleod's Land.
