Recognition notes
The Phantom Prime is a 40-ton scout built on a 360 XL fusion engine, cruising at 97 km/h and reaching 151 at full speed, fast for its weight. It carries an LRM 5 in the left arm, an ER medium laser in the right arm, and an ER small laser alongside a TAG unit in the left torso, giving it a stand-off reconnaissance bite rather than close-range punch. An ECM suite sits in the right torso and an active probe in the center torso, marking it as an electronic-warfare scout as much as a fighting one. Its ferro-fibrous armor and endo steel structure keep the frame light despite the twelve double heat sinks needed to run its energy weapons. W-5 Facilities builds it at WC Site 1, with production also carried out at other sites.
