Recognition notes
The Minion Advanced Tactical Vehicle (Gauss) "Sandblaster" is a 20-ton hover combat vehicle fought as a striker, cruising at 97 km/h and topping out near 151. Where the base model mounts a pair of medium pulse lasers and a C3 Slave Unit in the hull, the Sandblaster strips out the C3 link and packs eight Magshot guns into the front instead, trading the base model's laser pair for a dense battery of light rail guns. Cruising and top speeds carry over unchanged from the base hull, and armor remains standard plate. General Motors builds the type at Kathil.
