Recognition notes
The Padilla Tube Artillery Tank (Thumper) is a 55-ton wheeled combat vehicle built as a missile boat, cruising at 32 km/h with a top speed near 54. Its turret carries a Thumper cannon alongside two Medium Pulse Lasers and four MML 3 launchers, concentrating the entire armament in a single mount. A Guardian ECM suite sits in the hull, and the crew is protected by standard armor. Aldis Industries builds the type on Terra.
