Recognition notes
The MSK-9H is a 100-ton juggernaut, a 2576 rebuild of the 2439 MSK-5S that trades the older sniper's reach for close-in weight of fire. Where the MSK-5S carried a single Primitive Prototype PPC, an AC/5, and a Large Laser, the MSK-9H mounts a pair of PPCs in the left arm, an AC/20 in the right arm, and twin Medium Lasers in the center torso. Standard armor replaces the base model's primitive plating, and a smaller 300 fusion engine drives the same cruising speed of 32 km/h and top speed of 54 km/h. A Beagle active probe sits in the left torso and CASE lines the right torso, neither present on the MSK-5S, and the frame keeps its rugged, field-serviceable build. Skobel MechWorks produces it at Terra.
