Recognition Notes
The MLN-1B is a 60-ton brawler, a 3053 refit of the 3010 MLN-1A, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 with a 120-metre jump capability. In place of the Machine Gun in the left torso, this refit simply drops that weapon, leaving the Flamer alone in that location alongside the PPC and LRM 5 in the right torso and a Medium Laser in each arm. The heat-sink count rises from 18 to 19 single heat sinks. The frame keeps its rugged, field-serviceable build and easily-serviced layout, and Alliance Defenders Limited carries out the refit at Alpheratz.
