Recognition notes
The Perseus P1A is a 75-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the P1 base configuration carries a single LRM 20 alongside a Medium Pulse Laser in the left arm and an Ultra AC/10 in the right arm, the P1A fields twin LRM 20 racks, one in each arm. In place of the paired ER Medium Lasers in the legs, the P1A mounts a TAG in the right leg, and the head carries no weapon where the base configuration fits an ER Small Laser. The SRM 6 in the right torso stands in for the base's SRM 4 in the center torso, and the Medium Pulse Laser occupies the center torso rather than the left arm. Both configurations share anti-aircraft fire control and an easily-serviced airframe, and both come from Kali Yama Weapons Industries Inc. at Kalidasa.
