Recognition notes
The Rime Otter B is a 55-ton medium built as a skirmisher, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86. Where the Prime configuration mounts a Large Pulse Laser in each arm, this configuration carries an LB 10-X AC in the left arm and a pair of Improved Heavy Medium Lasers in the right arm. In place of the Prime's LRM 10 in the right torso, the left torso and right torso each hold four Light Machine Guns and a Light Machine Gun Array. The left torso also carries MASC and the right torso CASE II, matching the Prime's arrangement, and a supercharger sits in the center torso, pushing sprint speed to 135 km/h with MASC and supercharger engaged, above the Prime's 108 km/h under MASC alone. Heat sink count falls to 10 double sinks from the Prime's 11. The design has a rugged, field-serviceable frame despite being maintenance-intensive, and Jötunn BattleWorx builds it at Goito.
