Recognition notes
The Main Gauche (IFV) is a 30-ton tracked combat vehicle built as a striker, a role the base model's sniper fit never filled. It drops the Light Gauss Rifle and paired Machine Guns from the front for a Plasma Rifle and two Light Machine Guns in the same front position, and adds a Light Machine Gun on the right side and another on the left side. The hull carries a 4-ton infantry compartment, a feature the original lacked. An XL engine replaces the Fusion powerplant, lifting cruising speed from 43 to 65 km/h and top speed from 65 to 97, making this variant notably quicker than its predecessor. Brooks Incorporated builds it at Irian.
