Recognition notes
The Red Shift RDS-3A is a 20-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 97 km/h and topping out at 151. Where the 3062 RDS-2A carried a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm alongside a head-mounted TAG, this 3068 variant fields a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the left arm and a matching pair in the right, giving up the pulse lasers and TAG for a heavier four-laser battery. In place of the Guardian ECM suite the center torso houses a C3i computer. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette and enhanced communications gear, and is built by Leopard Armor on Terra.
