Recognition notes
The Phoenix Hawk PXH-9 is a 45-ton striker that fights close-in, a 3140 field refit of the 2568 PXH-1. Where the PXH-1 mounts a Large Laser in the right arm, this variant carries a Large X-Pulse Laser, and each arm's Machine Gun is swapped for a Light Machine Gun; a Medium Laser sits in each arm as before. An endo steel internal structure and a lighter 270 XL fusion engine hold cruising speed at 65 km/h and top speed at 97, while jump range grows from 180 to 240 metres. Eleven double heat sinks replace the ten single sinks of the PXH-1, and CASE II lines the center torso. The jettisonable arm weapon and enhanced communications gear carry over, a combat computer is added, and the command role is dropped. The type is a field refit built at various sites.
