Recognition notes
The Nightshade ECM VTOL (Light PPC) is a 25-ton VTOL combat vehicle fielded as a scout. In place of the medium laser its base model mounts in the front, this variant carries a Light PPC in the same position. Cruising speed drops from 151 to 130 km/h and top speed falls from 227 to 194 km/h, and ferro-fibrous plate replaces the standard armor of the base model. The hull retains the Guardian ECM suite and adds a C3i Computer alongside it. Meers-Skobel Defense Corporation builds this version at Terra.
