Recognition notes
The Nightsky NGS-5S is a 50-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97. It carries the same armament as the 3053-era NGS-4S: a Large Pulse Laser in the left arm, a Medium Pulse Laser in each torso, a Small Pulse Laser in the head, and a hatchet in the right arm. Where the NGS-4S could jump 180 metres, this configuration gives up that leap entirely, and its heat-sink count rises from 11 double to 14 double. Defiance Industries builds it at Hesperus II.
