Recognition notes
The Piranha 2 is a 20-ton striker that closes fast, cruising at 97 km/h and topping out at 151. Where the 3051 original mounted a pair of ER Medium Lasers with banks of Machine Guns in each torso, this 3067 rebuild carries a Heavy Medium Laser in each arm, six ER Micro Lasers in the left torso, six more in the right torso, and a Heavy Small Laser in the center torso in place of the ER Small Laser. The heat-sink fit grows from 10 single to 11 double units, though the XL fusion engine, endo steel structure, and standard armor carry over unchanged in kind. It is built by CDS Poseidon's Auxiliary Production Site #4 on Itabaiana.
