Recognition notes
The Mantis Light Attack VTOL is a 15-ton VTOL combat vehicle built for the scout role, cruising at 119 km/h with a top speed of 184, fast for its weight class. Five ER small lasers cluster in the front, giving the type an all-forward arc of fire. A Guardian ECM suite and a Beagle active probe sit alongside the lasers in the front, and the crew rides behind standard armor plate. Michaelson Heavy Industries builds the type at Ruchbah.
