Recognition Notes
The Defender II C is a 25-ton fighter that rebuilds the Defender as a close-in dogfighter, discarding the original's SRM 2 in the nose and the paired LRM 5s in the wings for a nose battery of three medium chemical lasers and a pair of AP Gauss rifles on each wing. The switch to Clan-built systems trades the Defender's fire-support role for sustained short-range gunnery. CASE units sit in the right wing, the left wing, and the fuselage, guarding the ammunition feeding the AP Gauss rifles. Armor remains standard plate over the ICE-powered airframe.
