Recognition notes
The Maelstrom MTR-5K is a 75-ton skirmisher that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86 on its 375 XL fusion engine. Its main punch comes from an ER PPC in the right arm and an ER Large Laser in the left, backed by a Medium Pulse Laser and a Small Laser in the center torso and a second Medium Pulse Laser in the head. A TAG sits in the right torso, and the design runs 19 double heat sinks under standard armor. General Motors builds it at Kathil, with additional production at Midway and Solaris VII.
