Recognition notes
The Plainsman Medium Hovertank (Scout) is a 35-ton hover combat vehicle refitted from striker duty to a scout role. Its turret still carries the paired SRM 6 launchers of the base model, but the SRM 2 that sat at the front is gone, replaced by a Beagle active probe in that position. Standard armor covers the hull, and the hovertank cruises at 97 km/h with a top speed of 151, unchanged from the base model. Pinard Protectorates Limited builds it at Pinard.
