Recognition notes
The Scorpion Light Tank (Thunderbolt) is a 25-ton tracked combat vehicle built as a brawler, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed near 65. The turret carries a Thunderbolt 10 in place of the base model's turreted Machine Gun and Autocannon/5, and the Machine Gun moves down to the front of the hull. The hull wears ferro-fibrous armor where the original Scorpion carried standard plate. Quikscell Company builds this variant at Layover, one of the many sites that produced the base model.
