Recognition notes
The Nightstar NSR-9J is a 95-ton juggernaut that fights at long range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54, slow even by assault standards. Twin Gauss Rifles anchor each arm, one in the left and one in the right, each paired with its own Medium Pulse Laser, and an ER PPC sits in the right torso. A Small Laser rounds out the head. The type is built as a command 'Mech, and its dense internal systems make it a maintenance-intensive design. Norse Technologies produces it at Afleir, with additional lines at Kathil and Solaris VII.
