Recognition notes
The Ryoken (Stormcrow) Z is a 55-ton striker that cruises at 65 km/h and tops out near 97, with a supercharger in the right torso allowing a sprint burst to 130 km/h. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER Large Laser and ER Medium Laser in each arm plus a further ER Medium Laser in the head, this configuration replaces all of that with an Improved ATM 9 and an Improved Heavy Medium Laser in each arm, leaving the head without a weapon. Its heat-sink count of 12 double sinks falls well short of the Prime's 22, and a Nova combined electronic-warfare system fills the head in its place. The type keeps its reputation as a stable firing platform, and is built by Industrial Complex Raven Alpha along with several other plants across the Clan production network.
