Recognition notes
The Nightshade ECM VTOL (Armor) is a 25-ton VTOL combat vehicle flown as a scout, cruising at 151 km/h and reaching 227, quick for its weight. It carries the same Medium Laser in the front mount as the base model, but the Guardian ECM suite in the hull is gone, and the freed space holds a 1-ton infantry compartment instead. Armor remains standard plate. The type is fielded as a field refit rather than a factory product, built at various sites.
