Recognition Notes
The Piranha is a 20-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 97 km/h and topping out near 151 — fast for its weight. Six machine guns crowd the left torso and six more fill the right torso. Each arm carries an ER Medium Laser, and an ER Small Laser sits in the center torso. Its endo steel internal structure runs under standard armor plating. Constantin Assembly Plant M27A-E builds the type at Priori, with production underway at other sites as well.
