Recognition notes
The Rook NH-1B is a 55-ton brawler that fights close in, its bank of medium lasers backing a single PPC in the right torso. Against the NH-1A original, it swaps a 200 fusion engine for a 220 fusion engine, pushing cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed from 54 to 65 km/h. Standard armor plating replaces the NH-1A's primitive armor, and the heat-sink count rises from 14 to 20 single sinks. The paired medium lasers in each arm and torso location, the rear-facing medium lasers in both torsos, and the small laser in the head all carry over unchanged, and the frame keeps its rugged, field-serviceable build. Hessen IndustrialWorks/NHDF builds it at New Hessen.
