Recognition notes
The PLG-5Z rebuilds the Pillager chassis for stand-off work, where the 2575 PLG-1N fought as a close-in juggernaut. In place of the twin AC/20s in the side torsos, it carries a Gauss rifle in each of the left and right torso, and where the original mounted a medium laser in each arm and the head, this configuration pairs two ER medium lasers in the left arm with an ER PPC in the right, dropping the SRM 4 and the rear-facing head laser entirely. Triple-strength myomer allows a boosted cruising speed of 54 km/h under combat heat, matching its 54 km/h top speed, and stealth armor replaces the base model's standard plating. CASE lines both side torsos, a Guardian ECM suite sits in the center torso, and the reinforced battle fists on both arms carry over from the PLG-1N. HildCo Interplanetary builds it at St. Ives.
