Recognition notes
The Ryoken (Stormcrow) (Kotare) is a 55-ton skirmisher that trades the Prime configuration's energy-heavy fit for a mixed missile-and-laser loadout. Where the Prime configuration mounts twin ER Large Lasers and three ER Medium Lasers spread across both arms and the head, this configuration carries a single ER Medium Laser in the right arm, a Streak SRM 6 in the left torso, and an LRM 20 in the right torso. Both share the same 330 XL fusion engine and top out at 97 km/h from a 65 km/h cruise, but this configuration runs 13 double heat sinks against the Prime configuration's 22 double heat sinks. Ferro-fibrous armor covers the endo steel frame, and the chassis stands as a stable firing platform. Industrial Complex Raven Alpha builds it at Lum, among other sites.
