Recognition notes

The Red Shift RDS-2A is a 20-ton striker built for close-in work, running on a 180 XL fusion engine that cruises at 97 km/h and tops out at 151. It carries a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm and a TAG unit in the head, with a Guardian ECM suite in the center torso. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor keep the frame light for its speed, and the type stands low with a hard-to-target silhouette. It also carries enhanced communications gear, and Leopard Armor builds it at Terra.
