Recognition notes
The Ryoken III (Skinwalker) E is a 55-ton medium that fights at long range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97 with a jump range of 180 metres. Where the Prime configuration carries paired large and medium pulse lasers in each arm and an SRM 6 in each torso for close-in striking, this configuration strips the arms down to an ER PPC in the left arm and a Gauss Rifle in the right, dropping the torso-mounted SRM 6 racks entirely. A PPC capacitor sits with the ER PPC in the left arm, and the heat-sink count falls from 13 to 10 double sinks. The engine, endo steel structure, and ferro-lamellor armor carry over from the Prime. Kali Yama Weapons Industries Inc. builds the type at Kalidasa.
