Recognition notes
The NH-1X "Rook-X" is a 55-ton juggernaut, a 3077 rebuild of the 3074 NH-1A original. The arm-mounted medium lasers become ER medium lasers, and the rear-facing pair in the torsos become ER small lasers, while the standard PPC in the right torso is replaced by an ER PPC backed by a PPC capacitor. The head-mounted small laser of the NH-1A does not appear on this rebuild, and heat-sink count rises from 14 to 16 single sinks. It keeps the same 200 fusion engine and primitive armor, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54, with the same rugged, field-serviceable frame; New Hessen WorkMechs handles the refit at New Hessen.
