Recognition notes
The Scorpion Light Tank (Minesweeper Prototype) is a 25-ton tracked combat vehicle fielded as a missile boat, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed near 65. It drops the base model's turret entirely, and the autocannon/5 that turret carried is gone; in its place the front of the hull mounts a pair of LRM 5 launchers alongside a machine gun. The front also carries modular armor, an addition the base Scorpion never had. Aldis Industries builds this configuration at Betelgeuse.
