Recognition notes
The Phoenix Hawk C is a 45-ton medium striker, a 2831 rebuild of the 2568 PXH-1 using Clan-built components throughout. Where the original mounted a Large Laser and a Medium Laser in the right arm with a Medium Laser and Machine Gun in the left, this configuration fits a Medium Pulse Laser into each arm and adds a pair of Ultra AC/2s in the side torsos. Its two Machine Guns sit in the center torso and head rather than in the arms. An endo steel internal structure and a 270 XL fusion engine replace the standard structure and fusion engine of the PXH-1, and ten double heat sinks stand in place of the earlier single-sink array, with both machines cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97 with a 180-metre jump capability. The command 'Mech role and its enhanced communications gear carry over from the original. Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. builds it at Keystone.
