Pouncer I

The Pouncer I is a 40-ton missile boat, an alternate configuration of the same chassis fielded as the Pouncer Prime, where the Prime carries a pair of ER PPCs for long-range sniping. In place of that twin-PPC arrangement, this configuration mounts an ER Large Pulse Laser in the left arm and an LRM 20 in the right arm, the latter fitted with an Artemis V fire-control system. The ER Small Laser and targeting computer of the Prime configuration are absent from this loadout. It cruises at 65 km/h and tops out near 97, with a jump range of 150 metres, and shares the Prime's fragile head. The type is built by WC Primary Facility 5 at Tiber in the Clan Homeworlds, with additional production at other sites.
