Recognition Notes

The Red Shift RDS-2B is a 20-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 97 km/h and topping out near 151, a brisk pace for its weight. It carries the same close-range bite as the 3062-era RDS-2A, a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm and a TAG in the head, but swaps out the Guardian ECM suite in the center torso for a Beagle active probe. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette and enhanced communications gear, running on a 180 XL fusion engine under ferro-fibrous armor. Leopard Armor builds it at Terra.
