Recognition notes
The NGS-6S is a 50-ton striker that closes to short range and overwhelms with laser fire, a 3066 rework of the 3053 NGS-4S. Where the original mounted a Large Pulse Laser in the left arm and Medium Pulse Lasers in each torso, the NGS-6S replaces that battery with seven ER Medium Lasers, two in the left arm, two each in the left and right torso, and one in the head, and drops the head's Small Pulse Laser entirely. A hatchet remains fitted in the right arm. The engine changes from a 300 XL fusion plant to a 300 light fusion engine, though cruising speed holds at 65 km/h with a top speed near 97 and jump range unchanged at 180 metres. Defiance Industries builds the type at Hesperus II.
