Recognition notes
The Defender is a 25-ton fighter flown in the fire-support role. An SRM 2 fires from the nose, and a single LRM 5 sits in each wing. The design carries standard armor and runs on an internal combustion engine. Andurien AeroTech, a division of Free Worlds Defense Industries, builds it at Lopez.
