Recognition notes
The Men Shen MS1-OU is a 55-ton striker built around the same 330 XL fusion engine as the base configuration, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a MASC-boosted sprint of 130 km/h. Where the MS1-O carries paired Medium Pulse Lasers in each arm, this configuration mounts a single SRT 4 rack in the left arm and another in the right. In place of the base configuration's LRM 15, the right torso carries a Snub-Nose PPC alongside an ER Medium Laser, with a second ER Medium Laser in the left torso and a TAG unit in the head. The Artemis IV fire-control system in the right torso is absent here, replaced by an underwater maneuvering unit, and a matching underwater maneuvering unit sits in the left torso alongside the MASC; the Beagle active probe remains in the center torso. Enhanced communications gear is fitted, and Hellespont 'Mech Works builds the type at its Sian factory.
