Recognition Notes
The Nightshade ECM VTOL (Royal) is a 25-ton VTOL combat vehicle flown in the scout role, cruising at 151 km/h and topping out near 227. Where the base model mounts a Medium Laser in the front, this version carries a Large Pulse Laser in the same position. The hull keeps the Guardian ECM suite, and the crew now rides behind Ferro-Fibrous armor in place of the base model's Standard plate, with an XL engine replacing the Fusion powerplant. Yelm Weapons builds it at Fletcher (TH).
