Recognition notes
The Nightshade ECM VTOL (LAC) is a 25-ton VTOL combat vehicle flown as a scout, replacing the base model's Medium Laser in the front with a TAG unit of the same mount. The Guardian ECM suite carried in the hull of the original is gone from this configuration. Cruising speed drops from 151 to 130 km/h and top speed from 227 to 194 km/h, and the crew now rides behind ferro-fibrous armor in place of the standard plate. Meers-Skobel Defense Corporation builds this version at Terra.
